Something similar happened to us when we were staying in Mountain View for YCS09. We had found a cheap furnished apartment sublet via Craigslist. A couple weeks in, I had a friend visiting from Germany and we were having lunch at our place with a lady that he had met the night before through plentyoffish (good times).

It was a hot summer day, we had the door open to get a cool breeze going and hadn't noticed the apartment manager fixing some lamps in the hallway. Suddenly he pops his head in, surprised to see a bunch of folks he'd never seen before instead of the tenant and asks "Are you the tenants? If you are staying here, I need your name on the lease!".

Turns out our landlady wasn't supposed to sublet in the first place and hadn't told the manager about it (she had always paid the rent though). Fortunately, the situation could be rectified and we could stay for the rest of the summer as subtenants.

We figured the manager was cool with us when he realized we were behaving well (in contrast to some of the deadbeats in the complex like the dude next door who scammed one of our guys out of a hundred bucks, or the lady across the hallway who had just gotten out of jail and whose nutjob sister would yell around for hours threatening to call the police when she wouldn't open the door for her).
Fwiw, the 19-10 committee vote is here: http://judiciary.house.gov/hearings/pdf/07282011%20Roll%20Ca...

As far as parties go, looks like the Republicans voted 14-3 in favor; Democrats 7-5 against. Not a solid "against" showing for either party, but seems the Democrats were a bit better. Oddly, none of the Tea Party Caucus members of the committee were in the 3 Republicans who voted no (what happened to limited government and less regulation?).

No. Some free-market fundamentalists say that companies should have an ethical obligation to maximize profit for their shareholders.

I think the law says that companies are required to follow their constitution. Generally, the board of directors interprets that constitution, and then tells the CEO what to do.

Shareholders may be able to vote to change the constitution, but this would be covered by the company's constitution.

I think non-profits can be companies. That would be a very clear example of companies that are not legally required to act in the interests of shareholders.
> Smalltalk (presumably) has a form of logical branching in it somewhere. To finish the if, just pick one.

It uses dynamic binding.

In Java it would look like something this (but it's less useful without proper closures):

abstract class Bool {
void ifTrue(Runnable f, Runnable g);
}

class True extends Bool {
void ifTrue(Function f, Function g) {
f.run();
}
}

class False extends Bool {
void ifTrue(Function f, Function g) {
g.run();
}
}

Then, given a variable

Bool b;

the if-then-else becomes

b.ifTrue(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
System.out.println("It's true!");
}
}
, new Runnable() {
public void run() {
System.out.println("Not true!");
}
}
);

It's a bit more verbose, though...

The thing is, there's no reason why it should cost 10k bucks in the first place. Okay, well, unless there are travel costs included.

Fact is, before anything else, this is a personal matter, so do it as a person - ideally on your spare time (if you ever can make some) with your personal funds if you can - everyone will accept a founder doing this, it will not engage any responsibility/liability whatsoever, it will not establish any precedent, and it will change the reception radically, for both the victim, the company and the public.

Arrington nails it. It's the same thing I wrote yesterday in a comment: Airbnb wants to call out the victim but are holding back whether it is for legal or other reasons.

I can understand them. It's hard to just sit idle when someone irrationally attacks you. At the same time, if you have a customer-business relationship, airing the customer's dirty laundry may be strategicay bad no matter how wrong she is. On the other hand, the customer can write piles and piles of questionable content.

Here's what I'd love: for EJ to post the ordinal emails or to show them to techcrunch or arstechnica for an independent take on the situation. At the moment TC is just a megaphone for both parties. May be this can investigate this at the root with original communication between EJ and airbnb, assuming ej agrees to it. And if she doesn't, I would be as suspicious of her as I may be airbnb having read her posts.
It seems to me that the onus to present an argument is on those who claim its immorality. Unless we assert that every action is immoral unless justified.
Hmm, climatedepot.com looks pretty a bit... unhinged. Do the various professors on its parent organization's Board of Advisors (http://www.cfact.org/about/1551/CFACT-Board-of-Advisors) realize they're running essentially a tabloid? I would think that even if you had skeptical views on the climate-change debate, you would want your name associated with publications that take a more serious tone...
I disagree with you completely.

I've worked places where there is a rule that "The Corporate Database is Oracle and Oracle Only". Any mention of database _at_all_ will mean someone will ensure that The Corporate Database is used. It doesn't matter if Postgres or SQLite would be a cheaper/better choice.
> How would you go about setting one of those young whippersnappers in their place?

I've found it's best not to try.

First off, as to any given issue, the Young Whippersnapper might well be right.

Second, I seem to get best results by treating the YW with patience and respect---regardless whether I think he (or she) is right---and by trying to help him fill in whatever gaps I think he has in his knowledge, so he do a better job next time.

(In a given case, the knowledge might relate to how the YW can be a better team player.)

By no means should a boss tolerate poor performance forever, but pretty much everyone needs training.

Getting SDL for Android working (in 10 drunken steps)
My problem with Android development is that, being a non-Java developer, I never knew when to use the Android SDK or the Java SDK or the Apache stuff for certain tasks. For example, networking. Googling online for solutions, I don't know if any of the Java code I find is Android compatible.
Best quote from this story, and how is it interpreted by different software makers: "You’re just going to screw something up. Best thing is to take your feet off the pedals and let it fly."
I think the crucial context is even larger than that. There's a lot of anxiety in the tech community about the recent valuations of several startups. First there was the revelation that a lot of Groupon's reported "profits" are products of clever accounting. Then Color implodes after a ridiculously disproportionate funding round. And now AirBNB, the poster child of internet disintermediation of old, hidebound industries, is caught totally unprepared for a business model threatening crisis that everyone should have seen coming.

I suspect I'm not the only one that thinks that there's a lot of willful ignorance underlying this boom we're all enjoying.
In San Francisco it can easily cost $10K to get situated into a new apartment. The average rent is $2300, so $6900 and broker fees just to move in. Plus, she needs all new stuff.

There are a lot of long words in these posts, so I doubt anyone will read this, but I want to say it anyway.

First, this whole thing just wreaks of a big disaster of miscommunication between all involved parties. Many commentators I think are being overly sensitive and pedantic (I commented yesterday on the shocking revelation that an airbnb founder would "enjoy meeting" EJ). The following points seem clear to me:

* EJ's perspective is tainted by her negative experience. While she criticized the founder for an impersonal meeting request, she could have disparaged the founder just as easily had it gone the other way: "Oh, the founder sent me this mail gushing with concern... if he really cared, he would have done X and Y differently, now he is just backtracking like a coward in light of media attention"

* airbnb believes that they are helping and is trying to do what's feasible, but is weighed down by concern over insurance, regulation, fault, and other pertinent issues involved in this precedent-setting incident. airbnb also is likely to (subconsciously) give a story that is perhaps unrealistically positive to one of its earliest mentors and investors, who readily believes and defends one of his earliest and most successful investments; I can't help but think there are child-parent-type instincts on that kind of relationship.

* Arrington is writing the story mostly accurately, perhaps not with the rigid journalistic method that ensures precision in retelling, as we generally expect to find lacking in the casual vernacular of a blog. In fact, I think a lot of TC-related controversy stems from nothing more than the casual format that leaves much room for misreadings (and miswritings). While it may not be fun to read or write an article that follows classical journalistic procedure, there is a reason that that procedure was put in place...

* Commentators jump to the defense of EJ prematurely, partly because of white-knight impulses and partly because of the victim's emotionally-charged writing.

I hope that people calm down over this. We need to allow all parties involved some time, I think. This is a major thing in the history of airbnb and the logistics require careful attention -- they may not get it perfectly right, but I believe they're operating out of good faith and trying to do the right thing. I also believe EJ is struggling to get a grip on her new circumstances and would also benefit from some time apart from the sensationalism. As for PG/TC/others, it just causes volumes of unnecessary drama to get publicly entangled.

I'm not sure that anything else productive can be done at this point by continuing to expound on the issue, it merely seems to create more controversy for controversy's sake.
I understand that the author is pissed because of the bad UX. But all he claims is a branding issue or a manufacturers fail.

Still it's Googles job to set boundaries to not let them do what they want.

In my opinion this is just one of many imprecised android reviews.
I think their treatment of the victim is really a sideshow. The real issue here is that the underlying assumption that it was relatively safe to let total strangers into your home has been publicly shattered.
Figured that'd t be hard to find an image viewer called "Image Viewer" but it seemed almost impossible - even when restricting the search to ugly icons :p
Who's the developer/market-URL?
Ask HN: What was your Launch Strategy? 
I'm working with deals startup GetDealy (18k mac subs) to launch a section for Designers and 'web people' called Creative with resources, themes, icons, etc, which will be useful for anyone working on web projects.

We launch in a few days and although bringing designers/services on board has been relatively good (although anyone who is interested can contact me).

I'm thinking about how I can spread the word. What happened with the first section was mostly viral growth over time. For Creative we've got some great partners and I would like to start spreading the word now (launching in a few days). Current users will be informed about the new section but there's nothing to say all of these users are interested in building sites/design.

What was your launch strategy? I'm interested in Guest Posting about the market on blogs, running our own blog where we feature free design resources and favorite designers and maybe having affiliates. http://www.getdealy.com/creative/
HN has been pretty disgusting the last few days: the level of schadenfreude here has hit ridiculous new highs.

It seems that every time a story breaks about a successful company, a bunch of envious and disgruntled people come out of the woodwork and jump onto the bandwagon headed straight for the founders' heads. A community of seemingly intelligent and rational individuals turns into the most rabid, emotionally-charged group of catty girls I've ever seen. We only have one side of the story here. What if the've offered help and she's rejecting it? What if there are some very legitimate reasons that AirBnB is not going totally public about it? You don't know, and you have not heard the other side of the story.

The same thing happened with Dropbox. You guys were so ridiculously quick to foam at the mouth with your theatrics and conspiracies.

It's pretty revolting. Envy is just not a good color on many of you.

Edit: Spelling. Thanks, Jacques.
The email signup form is here, not sure if more should be added to this as well. Once it's launched it will just show a deal/bundle. http://www.getdealy.com/creative/
I wonder if YellowBox is still around. I used it last night to compile a little Mac app for Windows XP, and it still makes me chuckle when it works.
No, we don't need to soften everything. We don't need to be rude about everything, either. What, specifically, so "much, much weaker than the original?

Note taking - friendly productivity tip, or career-defining moment?

Implying you'll be unimpressed if they make you repeat yourself is plenty forceful.

Interrupting a meeting the boss is in - does he really want me to do that, or was he just trying to sound friendly and approachable?

There's nothing more forceful about the way that was phrased in the original list, the only reason it doesn't sound friendly and approachable there is because the rest of the list is the opposite of friendly and approachable. (In fact, I have no problem with the way that was phrased in the original and might well have kept that.)

The original does not expect excellence, the original sounds like it's raising all these penalties because it's expecting you to be full of all the listed bullshit. I agree that the rewritten version expects mediocrity, but I would argue that that makes it sound reasonable, and that the author would be duly impressed by excellence.

I don't believe it sounds patronizing, it merely sounds reasonable.

How is it hypocritical in claiming to "cut the bullshit"? Keep in mind it's shorter than the original.

The impact of the original is to make a significant portion of readers not want to work with him.

In my humble opinion, he should take heed of his own #12: "...Check your ego at the door: I'm only interested in reaching the best, most elegant solution — I don't care if it's your idea or mine." The best solution for increasing productivity and effectiveness by cutting bullshit is to make reasonable requests to cut bullshit in a friendly way that people will listen to, not make people want to avoid working with you and decrease bullshit as a side-effect.
I'm running a theme so it's hard to tell but it seems pretty snappy for me.
It's not competitor analysis, necessarily. I think rather they are trying to find out where users came to their site from so they can more accurately attribute the site that directed them, and thus throw more money at sites that do a good job of referring you to them, as opposed to just using "last click attribution". It's about them finding out how to best use their advertising budget.
As much as I'd like to read and learn about yet another js framework, these guys did a horrible job in making that information available. So horrible in fact that I stopped reading after the fourth link. Always demo your code and examples of the front and only page and then link to your github repo. Their website is poorly-executed marketing savagery.
Some intelligent comparison algorithm should be developed to
tag them as possible duplicates of stories that have been published in the last N minutes/hours/days.

It shouldn't be very tough to come up with a beta version of the algorithm. They're asked in most technical interviews and everyone answers them :D
You should definitely have more than enough time if you are interested in it. I have about 35 hours worth of class including labs in the Fall and I still plan to find time for this course.
Java APIs are not designed to "just work" but rather to "eventually work with anything".
With Lion, Apple broke their own OSX UI guidelines. Sometimes to innovate you have to break the rules.
At the risk of being considered a complete troll, Reddit used to be very anti-commercial (I remember some of my best posts being ripped as too commercial there), and there has been a lot of influx of people from Reddit over the last year or two.

Perhaps the anti-commercialism has seeped in too.
I believe so. Opera show cased this beta email design/feature set which was very appealing for anyone not interested in using Google's services. They do seem to be innovating though, the new Gmail design is much better in my opinion and if Google+ takes off it'll become even further integrated into your life.

I think Google really wants G+ to link all of the Google services we use together and bring people onto services they weren't previously using. For those which live in Google this is great but for those which only want to try G+ or use one service it puts more barriers in your way.
An order is merely a suggestion backed up by a penalty for failing to comply. You always have the "option" of disobeying orders. The difference between phrasing things as suggestions instead of orders is you sound like someone people want to work with instead of someone who needs to "check your ego at the door".
It's 'schadenfreude'.

This issue is very emotionally charged because:

- everybody that uses AirBNB thought 'this could be me'

- everybody that has a sister thinks 'that could be my sister'

- everybody that runs a start-up thinks 'this could be a
shakedown' (including some preposterous claims about
hotel chains putting her up to this)

- everybody is wondering if AirBNB is sitting on a huge
stack of cash why they didn't just put it right and
changed their terms of service / signup process

Being the 'ebay of spaces' means that you will be doing the same things that ebay spends the most of its time on: battling fraud. AirBNB is coming of age with this incident, from now on the stakes will be raised considerably in how they deal with the reputation of their hosts and tenants.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Looking forward to the period after this incident has blown over when AirBNB will be a company that is that much stronger and that will put action to their claims of transparency and being a 'trusted marketplace'.

If they can make that work they'll be fine.
I think the problem is that in an information vacuum rumours and speculation can easily take hold.

The lack of a complete, definitive account from AirBnB (that is also consistent with EJ's) means that those curious about the event have to speculate about what REALLY happened - a recipe for nastiness.

Edit:
Also consider how many doubted EJ's account as well - or even that anything actually happened. More speculation due to the lack of clarity regarding this event.
Didn't even know there was a C# "port" of the NodeJS paradigm in development. I think the author is referring to this project on GitGub: https://github.com/Rduerden/Node.cs

IMHO, it doesn't look as elegant as the original JavaScript version. I'm trying to understand the value proposition of this. If you plan on doing a website, you'll end up recreating the MVC paradigm in Node.cs anyway so why not use ASP.NET MVC instead, which is a surprisingly elegant framework from MS.
I'm currently reading Philip K. Dick's Valis which (forgive me for my ignorance) seems to be largely based on some of his own theological thoughts. I find it interesting that in it he suggests such a idea, that the universe, or space and time are a hologram.
Make it more clear what you get, i'd consider signing up right now if I knew the kinds of things you offer, instead of so many stock images.

Also I had to scroll down to the bottom to understand the product, maybe try to make it clearer from the get go so you don't see people dropping off before they read all of the copy.

Starting a blog with posts about your market or with stats/info graphics does wonders as it engages your current user audience and builds up a new audience of blog readers who may be interested in your product. The only problem is it can be hard to manage and blogs take a lot of work.

As mentioned above pinging people via Twitter can be 'spammy' if automatic but if you personally reply to messages relating to what you're doing it can be really powerful and builds a lot of twitter conversations which does some similar things to running a blog. If you tweet high quality content from your industry, even if it's your rivals blogs you will find respect and people will follow for the content.

A great example of this is Bufferapp. They are a Twitter app and run a blog where they post all kinds of tips for using their product but also for tweeting on the whole and regularly tweet out interesting articles in this space. They reply to every tweet in full and thank people for mentioning them, this drives engagement and most of their user audience.
Putting egos aside and putting perceptions aside are two very different things.

Do you agree that working with a person who is competent and nice is better than working with someone who is competent and rude? Which do you want to be seen as?

An IC engine would run just fine for quite a long while with no air or oil filters. The filters are there to prolong its lifespan, but are not strictly necessary for basic operation.

How long would your email be usable if you turned off your spam filters?

Engine aire filters are also preventing the INGRESS of foreign contaminants. Most spam filters are much closer to the receiver than the sender. So the spam email volume still moves through many servers, routers and networks before it is finally filtered out and stopped.

I don't think your analogy holds up at all.
