Ideate: Cross Promotional Platform for Restaurents
Few more thoughts on the same lane

Advantage for such a platform:
1) Atleast for restaurent business, this model makes sense as nobody goes to the same restaurent every day. Buy keeping him in a closed partner network, you are enhancing the chance to get him back again.

2) This will also encourage customers to go out and try new places

3) This will work out great for new business

4) some extra revenue for more established players.

Challenges : Identifying complementing business is going to be a big pain. Also the revenue sharing is going to be a pain too.

Other thoughts: We could manage all the coupons and deals online so no business will feel the extra pain. We could make the consumer scans the bill using a app and that could be used to get deals/coupons. Soo many ways we could implement it to make it painless.

Another thing is that, it will change the way we look at a business. Rather than one single entity, over a period of time, we will have a partner group of business we trust. So having a good partner will help your business and a wrong one can impact in a bad way too.

I agree. It is not even that good a re-release of the iPhone app. I was hoping for something to keep them relevant with what google has done. This is nothing special or groundbreaking at all. I expect better from a company that has such resources both in financial as well as people.
I'm very skeptical that "good Java devs" tend to use FP techniques.

Idiomatic Java is object-oriented, and OO is inherently stateful: side-effects are everywhere and are totally acceptable. Also, it tends to use iteration rather than recursion, doesn't use higher-order functions, classes and methods are designed for "inheritability" rather than composability. However, I'd love to be proved wrong. Care to show any open-source Java code that uses FP techniques?

I imagine it will be much harder to track the flow of bitcoins as soon as larger laundering services start popping up. For instance if a major poker site switched entirely to bitcoin then then it would be very easy for someone to stash a large amount of coins in the service and pull them out slowly over time to a separate wallet. Right now it's hard to stay anonymous because there are no large anonymous entities processing transactions to hide your own transactions within.
I will believe it when I see it. I would also like to see activation numbers, not units shipped/sold. Seems to me that we learn later that these companies are making and shipping in quantity, but they end up on shelves or in warehouses and never activated.

If that is the case, then this is nothing that matters, and it actually hurts the company to sit on inventory like this.

Oh, lord. Listen, Steve Jobs' legacy is secure. He'll be remembered for centuries if not more. A thousand years from now he'll be taught in history class, probably with a great deal of admiration. But today, to the vast majority of people who have met him in real life, he's been a dick.

If you walk up to meet someone and your reaction is to insult them, you are a dick. A genius dick is still a dick.
You can know a library that does exactly what the question wants, if anything that's a plus, but you should roughly know how something like that actually works.

Dear Google, this is what a new product should look like
kind of funny since at the same time Steve Jobs gathered media and hype together in a special keynote to present to the world the Motorola/Apple ROKR - which is definitely the worst and most over-hyped phone ever released by anybody.
This actually reminds of me HTC's "Facebook phones", which I think are almost as dumb of an idea.
Google's already locked me out of one domain for no apparent reason at all, so I guess I'm already at step 2.
While that quote is all nice and well post-iPhone, in the context of mid 2006 it just comes off as dickish. Also indicates a lack of introspection coming from a person who recently released this POS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_ROKR_E1

> 1 little anecdote

There are so many stories floating around of Jobs sounding like a dick. In a lot of them he's ultimately right and makes a decision that few others would have made, but it still seems like a massive dick move. This story certainly isn't a one-off thing.
Nobody appointed him the official Google spokesperson on HN, he's just another visitor here.

I'm just saying that I don't think the correction will come when things are still not that bad. Major changes happen in times of crisis, not when things go pretty well. Even if they start thinking about some corrections, the process will be way too slow and the changes will be minor.

For example, when do you think it's more likely they reduce the Defense budget from 25% to say 15% or 10%. Right now? Or when the dollar will lose half of its value and un-employment will double?

I think it's basically almost impossible to make them reduce the defense/military budgets without a major collapse and near-revolution situation like that.

Where have we learned this to be factually true? That can happen for unsuccessful products (like the original Pre). But if Samsung's products were all sitting on the store shelves then Verizon, AT&T, Best Buy, etc. wouldn't keep stocking more Samsung products. They'd say "just send the TVs please". I think it's quite a stretch to say the Galaxy S and Galaxy S II have been anything other than wildly popular.

I guess that leaves the question: Is it okay to be a dick? Or do you maybe even need to accept that some people will perceive you as a 'dick' to become as successful as Steve Jobs is. I am sure there are people who think that Bill Gates and Larry Page are dicks as well.
If it makes you happy: "In (the context of) this story, he's a dick."
The naming problem is no greater proportionally 'at web scale' than it is at lower numbers of users. Used in this context, it's a cringeworthy bit of chin-stroking jargon.

At global scale would be a more sensible. 'At web scale' doesn't mean, 'With users from outside the US'.
I agree, we need some kind of excerpt or something. The info from the table of contents looks interesting though.

> Just for the record, Pastebin is not completely secure.

Note that it already happens that people put their private keys into pastebin, by accident or probably by sheer incompetence.

> if you posted the key alone anonymously, it will be hard to guess what lock it fits.

As an attacker, I would simply collect as many of those "published" private keys as I can get. Then, when attacking a bunch of systems, I'd simply try one key after another on each system.

The important difference to the "real world" is that an attacker can try lots of "locks" at once (i.e. can connect to multiple target systems at once).

No. A genius dick is a genius first; a dick second.

Geniuses often act like dicks because they operate outside of normal convention - get over it and enjoy the genius at work.
I've often wonder what the real motive for the ROKR was. It's one of the most un-Apple, un-Jobs, devices they released. I wonder if it's true purpose was to get Job's foot in the telco door. A way from him to gather intelligence before his true plan strikes.

It would already help a lot if patents would invalidate if the company exploiting them does not market (actively; meaning you have to spend a fixed % of your income on marketing, sales and development of said product) a product / service using the patent. That would hamper the trolls. But of course software patents should die.
nice animation on the conversion. Other than that the interface is quite simple and not well finished. You can also google to do currency conversions. For exemple, to convert between us dollars and pounds, search for: 1 USD in GBP

Airbnb Raises $112 Million
I think there is some real intrigue going on related to this. I don't really see the cost of developing a FB iPad app being the problem. I call BS that there is no demand for such an app. Didn't "unofficial" FB apps for the iPad start appearing the first week the iPad was out?

Also, IMHO touch.facebook.com and running the iPhone app on the iPad are both shitty experiences (the iPhone app less so but the low res on images and keyboard are pretty painful).

In addition to a lack of introspection, it sounds like a pointlessly unkind comment since the ESPN phone probably comprised a vanishingly small part of what the ESPN president was responsible for. Maybe Jobs wanted to make sure that he didn't have a conversation with this person? Reasonable responses might trend toward, "Maybe so, we try and fail until we succeed, don't we Mr. Jobs?"
That's always been my issue, too. Even CFLs aren't great, and those don't dim.

I started following another technology a few years back called ESL (Electron Stimulated Luminescence) which is basically a TV turned into a light bulb. The company finally started shipping stuff earlier this year and I got my hands on 2 of them.

The light quality is really nice, and they dim quite well (although not as low as I'd like). It only puts out ~30 lumens/Watt. That makes their 19W bulb around 600 lumens and can reasonably replace 50-60W incandescent. Check out http://www.vu1corporation.com/ as far as I know they're the only company making ESL. I am not sure if their tech has the ability to scale up in terms of power or efficiency. It's a tiny company compared to the scale of those working on LED/OLED.

Which may not even be every 5ms...
This is just so cool. I'm curious about the local weather impact of something like this. Basically, what these guys are doing is creating a continuous, artificial thermal, the same type you use for flying hang gliders and sailplanes. I'm certain the guys have done the math, but I'm wondering if you won't get cloud formation above the tower due to condensation of the hot air rising through the tower.

Meteorological theory suggests that you would definitely get this if the airflow was not contained by the turbines, and cloud formation with the release of condensation heat would cause even more cloud formation which would basically result in a giant, permanent thundercloud above the power plant. This would obviously decrease insolation a lot.

Anyone in here who has done any theory on these kinds of projects? I'm just guessing based on my knowledge of gliding that a considerable amount of the energy collected from this power plant actually comes from the temperature differential between not just the solar energy collected directly underneath the tower. It isn't just the fact that hot air rises. Due to decreasing pressure, the air temperature of a mass of air decreases approximately one degree per hundred meters of altitude gained. But if the atmospheric temperature distribution due to meteorological conditions is such that the actual temperature in the atmosphere drops _more_ than one degree per hundred meters of altitude, you have an untapped energy source; any air mass set in motion upwards will actually accelerate instead of slowing down.

That we are making large-scale technology to exploit this is so ridiculously cool I have problems expressing it.
I don't know from experience, but since I've considered doing the same I'll write down what I know.

Assuming you aren't a Canadian citizen, the usual way is to apply for several companies who are willing to sponsor a H-1B visa and get an offer from one of them. Until a few years ago the number of applicants used to be way over the H-1B visa cap, so you had to go thru a lottery even if your application was OK. This was the number one reason I never even applied.

http://www.workpermit.com/us/us_h1b.htm

But recently the number of applicants has sharply decreased and is below the cap, so if you get the offer and pass all the requirements (have a college degree, etc) you should be able to get it.

One problem with H-1B is that if you lose or quit your job you have to get another job within 30 days. Personally I'd avoid early-stage startups because of that rule: I wouldn't want to be in a position to find a job that quickly.

Another possible problem is that your spouse can get a visa but cannot work (until you both get a green card, which might take a long time).

You should check out the websites of companies you'd like to work for and see if they do the H-1B thing. Also, check the list of top visa sponsors:

http://www.myvisajobs.com/Reports/Top-Visa-Sponsor-2011.aspx

I hope this helps.

Information Theory and U.S. Competitiveness
It depends a lot where you are from and what citizenship do you have.

If you are from Canada, some countries in the UE and a few others, it is pretty easy. You can even apply for the work permission when arriving in the USA.

For other countries, you have to find a job an go through the H1-B process (expensive for the company) and that can take a few months. Waiting for the green card will take even longer (4 or 5 years).

So most people that I know that came to the USA, they got a job in a large company (microsoft, etc) that applied for their H1-B. After arriving to the US, they applied for the green card themselves.

hope it helps..

One anecdote? How about a small mountain of anecdotes, which unless you're living under a rock you've seen reported on many times over the years.
Well, maybe.

Different people want pseudonyms for different reasons. Some people want to be able to completely divorce content created under one name from content created under another: for example, a well-known public figure might choose to interact with close friends and family under a pseudonym so that those people aren't dragged into the public spotlight. Other people are just known by different names in different social circles — perhaps the people you play tennis with gave you a nickname, or you have friends in another country who find your given name awkward and hard to pronounce. For those people, an absolute water-tight division between pseudonyms is not necessary.

Personally, I'd be happy with settings of the form "To contacts in circle X, display the name Y", and "To strangers, display the name Z". I don't mind my friends knowing my real name, I just don't want friends blocking me because they don't recognise the value I've put in the only name field Google displays.
It's also easy enough to have access to secure Internet to pretty much everywhere in the world.
What are you using instead of Twilio now?
Just be upfront about your situation in your cover letter. It'll save everyone time. Put it in your first introductory paragraph.

From my limited exposure, it does seem like most companies are willing to sponsor for the right candidate. Even small startups seem to have the capability to do so.

One thing to keep in mind is relocation costs. Larger companies will often help with this. Smaller companies might expect you to carry this burden yourself. You should figure out the cost and figure if you can cover it - if not, this is something else you should be upfront about.

What Bluetooth 4.0 Means To iOS (Hint: A Lot)
It sounds like they don't like people staying for 2 months with only $600 liquid funds.

Consider it from the perspective of a loan - if someone you don't know well asked you for a loan, and said it was secured against "cult-booblahs" and that they were meeting with another member who traded in "cult-booblahs" this afternoon to sort it all out, it probably isn't going to go too well. From security's perspective, they are going to be immediately thinking one of: some weird drug lingo/money laundering situation, some weird pyramid scheme, or some cultist or anarchist dealing in imaginary currency. You've just made a simple question far more difficult than it needs to be.

It kind of raises the questions - why would someone with only $600 cash in the world be entering a rather expensive country for two months? From security's point of view, why would someone with only $600 cash have thrice that or more invested in some weird investment scheme? Finally, how does the founder of a bitcoin exchange have so little liquid assets/accessible emergency credit?

As an FYI, the author mentions they're from the UK or Ireland, and we were asked the same questions in both places (ensuring you have enough funds to support yourself) upon entry so this isn't US specific. Bringing enough cash to support yourself is expected (you could have said you are collecting a $10,000 loan rather than bitcoin and you probably would have still been refused - visitors should be able to demonstrate they can support themselves for their trip without relying on some deal going through once they're in the country).

I hope travel insurance covered the cost of the unfortunate trip.
