This is so necessary.
Same flag as when we stopped hearing about AOL keywords in mass media.
This comment will probably cost me some karma but the "for the love of god" makes me feel uncomfortable. I assume it is used as an expression and not as proselytism or whatever.

Replace god in this expression by gays, Allah, children, science, music, bits or whatever and you may experience the same feeling I had. And it doesn't provide any useful and constructive information to the main point.
Granted, insulin is a great solution that works well enough to save a lot of pain, and diabetes is a complex condition. I'm not saying maintenance doses are always wrong - nothing is ever always wrong. I'm saying maintenance doses are profitable, and there's little incentive to look farther, unless you're just one of those nuts who can't help it. The nuts end up dragging the rest of us along, usually - so in the end, we end up muddling through. And you clearly can't make it a policy to fund all the nuts, because most of them are, well, they're nuts.

I remain convinced that funds could be allocated somewhat better. In this as in so very many other things.

You should email us about that first post if we sound at all close to people you might enjoy working with. We'll answer any question you have, up to and including my shoe size.

At this stage, most employees are going to be working on a shared vision more than anything, which comes down to how you feel about the people. The goal with our description was to reflect the people and at least define the problem space a little bit. "Non douchebags doing ads" might have been more direct.

Original idea is from bemmu (candyjapan.com), but we are targeting different market and different goals. This is the mvp version, if enough interest, we are thinking of making it like a "pandora for snacks".

Feedbacks and inputs are very much appreciated
Flickr, Smugmug and 500px are very portfolio-oriented

Oh, I wish Flickr were portfolio oriented.

Unfortunately they have this bizarre concept of a photostream in which you cannot rearrange the order of photos, and they happen in the order of upload and not the date on which they were taken.

Also, while logged in, you cannot filter your own photostream by public / family-only / private photos only. It can be quite annoying, since I have thousands of family-only photos and only dozens of public photos, so I have to log out to see how my photostream looks to outsiders.
We're looking for pandas. Email us if you're a CoffeeScript drinking panda.
Good point. If your startup requires utmost secrecy to succeed, then you are going to have a hard time. And there are often many startups pursuing similar projects. A market without any competitors might not be a good market.

And, please, no job descriptions involving rock stars or code ninjas! :)
Of course. I'll agree anything that gets kids to self-teach is good, as that's the real problem of education (in other words, no desire to learn for any reason), and this approach apparently has experimental backing from you and the paper. I just don't think this should replace standard CS, but rather be something separate; call it something like Elementary Programming, and probably encourage it more than standard CS.
Knowledge transfer, Devops style
The overwhelming majority of "dead poor" people still wouldn't leave their home country. Most people have very, very strong ties to friends, family and familiarity and have great difficulty with the concept of uprooting thier life, no matter how bad, in such a manner.
Don't think of it in comparison to driving your own car or taking a train – think of it in terms of its advantages over free-form hitch hiking.
Indeed, I should emulate Sam. Not in every aspect though. In the same way that I do not believe that astrology works and won't start believing because a successful person told me to. That person would have been successful not matter what, the same way the loser who got predicted success lost because of his own behavior.

Now, I don't like you too, Mr Doctor (don't you like that deference doc?) The same way I dislike Sam. The same way I dislike condescending people. Don't hit me to show me I am weak unless you are about to create a meaningful relationship or we already have one. If I know my weakness and you are a martial artist I will bow to you. If I don't know it then perhaps I don't need to know my physical weakness in the first place. Maybe I live in a respectful city and physical strength is irrelevant and will always be for me.

It wasn't a cool hack at all. Proof: most people (at least here) dislike it. The guy that did GoDaddy said something along these lines «Expect the only fare you will encounter is the one you will pay to take the bus». So it is expected that someone would do that. And he finds himself cool. And he's wrong (in the absolute) because he is outside his field of expertise doc.(Mark Cuban, billionaire, missed a great shot on the show Shark Tank. My friend, millionaire, an expert in direct selling told me.) He is the pretty pictures guy. I won't deny him the ability to be a well rounded person, but he didn't show it.(Plus he in YC so he got something good, like anybody. I'll just hack my way to his valuable side and steal it from him for a greater purpose of course)

The most stupid person here is perhaps me. I am taking my time to reply to you and expect a decent number of people to read. While Sammy O' is doing things. Like impeaching young Africans to learn the lesson he taught us. There are jackasses in this world who will take away something from you(like responsibility of yourself). And they'll call it justice, I mean "you don't know how to hack? You must take hacking classes with my pristine prestijuicy school. Or you'll be unhappy and a bad bad hacker. I mean how can you be happy fending for yourself? Owing all you have to yourself? Nevermind all those people who say that fending/the travelling toward the end is source of happiness like Lionel Richie." The guy of this article http://www.spiegel.de/international/spiegel/0,1518,363663,00... (thanks for the link byrneseyeview) says it all. Adolescent everywhere in the Western world express it. (Yes, more on the artificiality of adolescence in Teen 2.0 by Dr Epstein http://drrobertepstein.com/index.php?option=content&task... . I read the first version so I am not sure about this one. Newer version of books tend to be... "politically dorrect"/condescending. I hate that.)

(If my parents said to me at 12: You can't take responsibility for yourself! Do as I say! Eat my food!. I would have ran away (or become a contented and dependent fool). I am lucky they are cool.)
Thx. Well, one thing is common here that I too have a lot to say on many topics and one common denominator (either Facebook or Twitter or whatever) is not a suitable choice (hence I use different platforms for different topics but I know its not totally effective).

It's an ideal concept to sort various different interests of a single person interest into separate containers based on target audience. I think Google+ came close but their naming policy sucks. I wish they'd allow different identity/per-Circle, which could help resolve this issue. But in perspective, I should be able to target my audience based on their interest as I know best and vice-versa. Twitter is totally ineffective here to most degree.
I definitely like grouping rides by the date that the driver is starting his/her trip - maybe make that a tad more obvious? A small aside like a jQuery calendar or simple title like "Find a Ride by Date..." would get that message across.

Random idea:
Instead of some calendar or other search/organization method, you might look at a map with jQuery slider. The idea would be to hook people up with drivers that might drive past their location (but not start there), and otherwise help discovery.

You might jerry-rig a single map with all "active" routes laid on it, and a jQuery slider that changes the date. It would be a cool way to see all the rides/routes available on any given day. Multiple colored routes on a single map should be possible - see here: https://groups.google.com/group/google-maps-api/browse_threa...
Please email syncretic.sausage@gmail.com with any helpful feedback, particularly about things that seem hyperbolic.

The irony of our post sounding hyperbolic is that "dragging advertising into the modern world" often means getting rid of ads that make peoples' eyes bleed, visual hyperbole just doesn't work that well.
What if the thief was poorer than me?
Feedback or feature requests would be awesome.
The horrifyingly stupid advertisements on imgur have made me loathe it.

It's fine for it's original purpose: anonymous reposts on reddit. It's crap for much more than that.

Albums, galleries, and privacy settings are the bare minimum. Flickr does a better job than imgur in those cases already.
Design for the Mobile Web’s Ubiquity
I will add that I don't argue that fewer prints are made. Even 10 years ago the majority of photos were printed. Digital photo sharing was still in its infancy. There's no arguing that fewer printed photos exist, but that doesn't mean that a market doesn't exist. It means that the market hasn't pivoted in a relevant way.

The value of printed photos has significantly shifted. 10 years ago, printed photos were necessary for archival and sharing personal photos. Today, photo prints serve a very emotional purpose.

>> It's harder to share a tangible/printed picture at any price, so how does PicPlum solve this at all? What you said above supports my thoughts more than it refutes them (IMO).

My point is that if you have 4 sets of grandparents that each want several prints of your wedding, it's generally not economically viable to pay $50 each for prints to share with them. Thus people order fewer prints from photographers and more digital/albums that they can share without incremental costs.

PicPlum seems to make the sharing of printed photos easier by removing the friction in getting prints done and mailing them out to family members. Note that PicPlum's target market isn't (yet) the professional photographer.

One of the big rules of YC is "being in YC is newsworthy, don't waste that unless you're getting news".

YC is awesome, but it definitely causes scrutiny where it wouldn't otherwise exist. Having to be a little sneaky with job posts is one of the few downsides of that attention.

Also, we're hiring gourmet code chefs if you prefer them to ninjas.
Just like CPython, its doubtful.
Facebook employee morale boosters
Not this time! Although I wouldn't be surprised if the second cited post gets more of a response than the first...
50 things [everyone] should know
Nice work. This taps straight into a game mechanic most people already have ingrained into them. Really addictive for a marketing game.

Two suggestions:

- Size up the images to be a greater percentage of the containing space. With a high resolution people are going to be squinting to figure out the products.

- After the user loses, show them what they got wrong - it's pretty unsatisfying not to see where you went wrong, and it's the behaviour people expect from the "price is right" mechanic. From your point of view, it's also an addition time to plug links.
Free London Event - Convergence Conversation - The Social TV Revolution
Last night I visited my uncle, a 50 year old rancher in Eastern Colorado. He wanted to show me videos of him calf-roping with a rodeo celebrity. I was very surprised when he brought out a Samsung Galaxy Tablet. This man is extremely computer illiterate and prides himself on ignoring modern technology. But wow did he love that tablet. He used it for everything (doesn't own a computer).

This incident convinced me that non-iPad tablets have a fighting chance. I'd like to see this exercise done again in one year. I believe non-iPads will gain more traction.
JVM Language Interop: dynalink, invokedynamic, BitConverters
you don't think history in any way resembles itself.

I wouldn't go that far, but I think in this case, the markets are so radically different that it's difficult to take a lot of meaning from the comparisons.

So far, the non-IOS tablets are selling better than the arguably obscure Atari 2600 did in it's first two years, but if we match the numbers today, the Atari 2600 has sold more units than both iPad models combined. Perhaps Atari is simply an outlier, but throw it up on the graph and it would substantially change the impression that people take away from the image, as well as highlight the absurdity I see in the comparison.
Make a deal with HipMunk to show your long-haul ride-shares (if they exist) as a last hit on their flight search :)
You're right. It's not like the title of his page is "Gruber: Mac Fanboy #1"

I retract my snark, or at least a little bit of it.
Well, his account was probably sold in china, it's common (at least it still was a few months ago) on taobao (the chinese ebay), they sell you "gift cards" to be used within 12h after purchase, it's in fact accounts. I guess that's why Apple started to ask CCV for purchases.

There's also a practice in China to use apps as a kind of fraud, or maybe money laundering. I've seen once a chinese wallpaper app, with each wallpaper for sale at $99, making thousands on the appstore.. when you think about it, it's easy to post an wallpaper app, set the price, and you get money through Apple, without any traces.

What I really hate about all this is that Apple still force you (or make it very difficult not to) to have a CC linked to your itunes account, even though you plan to never buy anything.
Why don't all companies buy devs the best hardware?

Awesome suggestions. Thank you so much for these.
Knowledge casts
The infinite shape is quite clever.

What I'd like to see is proper anti-aliasing. I'm obsessive enough that it prevents me from using CSS in such cases.
The problem with Facebook and now Google+ is that these are not specifically designed for sharing photos.

Facebook gets more photos uploaded than Flickr can ever dream of, but they are family pictures or pictures of drunken teenagers, of poor quality in general. If you want to see art, Flickr is a wonderful place to discover amateurs with talent and there's nothing out there that can beat it.

Also, I think a photo-sharing service has to have good tools for exploring said pictures. On Flickr, even if it has many flaws, it is really cool to search for pictures with a high interestingness score and then to start following the people that took them. I found some breathtaking works of art that way.

On Facebook and G+ you have to rely on your friends-feed instead for discovery, but that's not how art is supposed to be discovered.

Flickr, for all its flaws, works for its intended purpose and can only be killed by another web service that is created explicitly for photo-sharing.

Google is in a position to do that however, but with Picasa Web and not Google+, although integration would be nice.
Free Network Tools
It's an interesting sensor, but the article didn't explain any technical details on how the thing is produced. Here's another article:
http://www.doctorslounge.com/index.php/news/pb/22316

Technical Excerpt (for anyone interested):
"The EES incorporates electrophysiological, temperature, and strain sensors, transistors, light-emitting diodes, photodetectors, radio frequency inductors, capacitors, oscillators, and rectifying diodes. Solar cells and wireless coils provided power supply."

Seems to be made on a silicon substrate (excerpt):
"The investigators note that mechanical properties of the EES depend on the effective modulus and thickness of circuits, sensors, and the silicon-on-wafer substrate."
External GPUs. The on-board capacity is a non-issue if you can give your work laptop (or tablet) a gaming/rendering GPU when you need it.
Radioactive cars? What could possibly go wrong?

Joking aside, it's a neat idea, but from the article it sounds like the kicker is this:

"Stevens admits that his biggest hurdle isn’t the thorium and laser aspects of the system, but the mini turbines which have to be made small enough to fit inside a vehicle while generating enough electricity"
Stabbers have many better options for finding stabbees.
Sam has posted on Google+ (https://plus.google.com/113956160418597123621/posts/MAqht3NB...) ... however be aware that I suspect he is deleting posts and blocking people (^) that are critical of him as I posted the following:

"It's not much different to taking money out of the church collection plate and donating it to a charity that you prefer over the churches. Whilst I acknowledge this could be considered an extension of Jonathon's social experiment - it's hardly insightful or clever - you took money from an open fund and spent it. Hardly mind shattering stuff. The whole 'charity versus coffee' justification is little better than the 'think of the children' arguments that are used in similar ways. For the record, I don't think what you did is theft or immoral (it was a social experiment after all), but it was just a lame move that served no purpose and made no point."

... and now it doesn't appear in my stream and i can no longer post on the comment thread.

(^) There is a chance I'm just not understanding how to use G+ and Sam has done nothing of the sort - I only started using it recently.
> the first question I has was: How would he prevent unintended use of the card's funds?

The fact that most people aren't assholes was sufficient to let the system work for a while. A few people being assholes occasionally is survivable but somebody who makes a system out of it and publicizes it probably isn't. In short: "this is why we can't have nice things."

Think about it another way: right now, McDonalds doesn't charge you for napkins, straws, ketchup packets, salt packets, or toilet paper. All that stuff is just FREE - anybody could take however much they want!

A sufficiently motivated asshole could figure out a way to break that convenient social phenomenon too and it wouldn't take any more cleverness than this did. It's not a cool hack, it's taking something other people find useful and ruining it for everyone. Suppose you systematically stole all the toilet paper and paper towels from Starbucks bathrooms. To sell on eBay or whatever. Eventually they'd have to install pay toilets, hire washroom attendants, or just remove access entirely. One motivated jerk can easily make life a little less convenient for everybody in a great many ways, but that doesn't mean he should.
CPython is a pretty bad language for number crunching

Perhaps, but thanks to numpy, scipy and a host of other amazing libraries it still ties with matlab as the go to language for number crunching among everyone I know who crunches numbers for a living.
Tie in Airbnb recommendations based on how long you're staying, and this is possibly the cheapest (and most exciting) way to travel around.

Because the WSJ never makes mistakes and never falls prey to groupthink?
Guess Sam couldn't handle the heat. He cutoff commenting on his G+ thread. Hmmm, could he finally be realizing that he messed up and actually did wire fraud and stole money?
Shutterfly and 20 other photo printing companies, and much much cheaper too.

PicPlum charges $7/month for 15 4x6" photos (that's 46c per photo).

PePhoto or PhotoCheap charge 6c per photo, which makes PicPlum 7.7 times more expensive.

Seriously, what kind of idiots are willing to pay that much?

Would not invest a dime into this.
Pandas are cute, but they spend most of their day sleeping. Why don't you look for people, instead?

Not really. Jonathan's Card is not charity. It's like saying you should be able to take change from the give a penny, take a penny tray at the supermarket and drop it into the breast cancer awareness tin instead.
One day with Subjot and I am really impressed. Has a nice feel and fits in nicely between my Twitter and Google+ postings.
I love your comment. I have been studying identity and the internet for years. Subjot doesn't solve the problem of easily posting from different identities but I do promise to respect people's identity and have internet friendly policies.
And from masklinn's comment above, it sounds like `hg fetch` == `git pull`!
Actually, I had trouble figuring out what to say that's non-offending when someone sneezes. I ended up picking "Gazuntite", which means health (pls. don't ask why I need to say anything at all).
