I fail to see how this is related to "forego the benefits of cloud computing"... Does your startup have the resources to manage multiple datacenters by itself (such as one in US and one in EU)? Isn't this a clear benefit of cloud computing (and a pretty big one too)?
Unjust.

The Khan video fails to clearly distinguish definitions and derived results, so his formulae are effectively God-given from a student's perspective.

However, the writer's attack on this video is wrong as well. Presenting slope from the "rate of change" definition before _defining_ the slope of a straight line is nonsensical. Questions of axis rescaling are important but inessential to the basic definition. Trying to discuss these points in order to connect to the "real world" (the theme of the site?) before the basic definition is given can only confuse and give a false sense of understanding.

This isn't to advocate a purely formal exposition, either: there are various points of view (Euclidean, Cartesian ...) and reconciling them is probably above the level of this lecture, but one should not define a straight line as "a graph of a function with constant derivative".

Ultimately this seems like a rather forced argument presumably designed to distinguish the poster's "real-world-focused" materials.

If rioters knew they would be shot on sight, they would stop rioting.

You do realise what "shot on sight" means, right? Dead. Forever. No takebacks.

Here's my Haskell attempt (both naive recursive backtrack and dynamic programming version):

splitWordsSimple :: Dict -> String -> Maybe String
splitWordsSimple dct = fmtWords . go where
go [] = return []
go s = do
(i,t) <- zip (inits s) (tails s)
guard $ hasWord dct i
(i:) <$> go t

splitWordsDP :: Dict -> String -> Maybe String
splitWordsDP dct s = fmtWords $ a ! 0 where
a = listArray (0, len) $ map f [0..len-1] ++ [[[]]]
len = length s
f i = do
l <- [1..len-i]
let w = take l $ drop i s
guard $ hasWord dct w
(w:) <$> a ! (i+l)

>> The fundamental problem is that the police are not free to use the force necessary to put down the riot.

I think the riots were triggered by a man shot by police. So you want now to shot more people, and consequently trigger more riots. If there are people rioting then there is a reason. Go and talk to them. Understand what they want. If they are badly educated, that's probably your fault (your are the government).

Fastest-growing YC S11 startup (3M monthly uniques) looking for 1st employee
We are the fastest-growing YC company in this summer’s batch – we already get 3M unique visitors / month, and we’re growing like crazy: http://i.imgur.com/He6qS.png (DOES THIS REMIND YOU OF ANY SPORTING EQUIPMENT??!)

We were also voted 4th most-likely to succeed out of 63 companies by our peers at “prototype day” earlier this summer.

Right now it’s just the 3 founders (we’ve been working on the site for about 2 years), and we’re we’re looking for a brilliant hacker to be employee #1. If you join us, you’ll get a very real stake in the company (>= 3%)

We want someone who can start contributing soon without a lot of hand-holding. So you’ll probably need to be good with the following technologies:

- Ruby on Rails
- Javascript (we use jQuery)

Here are some other technologies we use in case they sound interesting, but you can probably pick them up on the job:

- Git
- Heroku
- SCSS
- Facebook API
- Twitter API
- Coffeescript? (We don’t use it yet, but I’m down!)

But this isn’t like being a programmer at a big company (or even a "startup within a big company"). We need someone who loves to program, and who is great at it, but who views programming as a means the end of SHIPPING A GREAT PRODUCT AND MAKING OUR USERS HAPPY. This means that you should be comfortable with non-programming tasks if the need arises. For example:

- Designing features (on paper, in Balsamiq, whatever)
- Talking to users (you MUST be a good writer)
- Extracting useful info out of analytics data.

We can’t reveal who we are because we haven’t yet announced our YC funding. We’ll let promising candidates know who we are over email, but we can say that:

1) The product is consumer-facing. There’s a decent chance
you’ve heard of us (we’ve appeared on the HN
front page before)
2) It’s music-related (so if you’re a music fan,
that’s a plus)
3) It runs on crowd-sourcing, game dynamics, and
reputation systems (I copied freely from StackOverflow,
so if you’re familiar with SO, that’s a plus)

IF YOU’RE INTERESTED, PLEASE SEND THE FOLLOWING TO HUGEMEME@GMAIL.COM:

- Name
- Location (we are flexible, but it would be great if
you lived in Northern CA, NYC, or were willing to relocate)
- Educational background
- Most recent job
- A little bit about your technical background,
including something brief about what you like and
dislike about the technologies you’ve used
- What have you built online that you’re proud of? This
is the most important. I’m interested in open source
contributions, weekend projects, your own start up,
whatever. I’m most interested in projects where you did
everything start to finish. So a beautifully-written
Ruby module is less impressive to me than the end-to-end
implementation of a cool web app (Back end, front end,
contracting with a designer, marketing, etc)
- Something that proves you can write. Ideally you could
link me to some of your best blog posts
- Your accounts at: twitter, github, stackoverflow,
quora, youtube
It would also be nice to get this support in Node for those of us using JS server side.

I should have been clearer - you forgo benefits of cloud computing for the functionality related to having a second cloud installation to failover. Each cloud will have all the benefits, but between them you're needing to come up with a way to synchronize applications and data that isn't just "create a cloud backed relational DB and point all the app servers to it"
I don't think Paul wants anyone to criticize YC companies. A potential customer asking for changes is different. I am actually not sure there is any value to criticism. "Constructive criticism" seems like a sneaky way to assert authority and drain, without providing any real value.

A penny per share tax would price small investors out of the market. If there were a penny per share tax then corporations would reverse split their shares so that a penny is nothing relative to the share price of their equity. I don't think you really want all stock to be as expensive as Berkshire Hathaway.
Also I just realized that just because something is at least as hard as the halting problem, doesn't necessarily mean it stays so when you restrict to polynomial-time reductions. So maybe even what I stated above isn't true. :-/ Well, the halting problem is NP-hard, at any rate. :P

Time heals all wounds?  I seem to be returning to Windows (just a little bit).
I made the move to OSX a few years back and never looked back. I was sick of Windows crashing, its spaghetti registry, its many many many ways of doing the same thing - all implemented differently by whichever third party hardware vendor wrote the drivers. So I was happy to wave bye bye to Windows.

But recently I have found that I prefer doing development on Windows - somehow it feels more "precise", in an intangible sort of way. Certainly Windows feels faster. Much as I love my Mac, it has always felt sluggish and never felt super snappy like Windows.

So just for software development I have found that I have gone back to Windows.
The name "Leaky" is such an obviously lousy name, I'm suspicious it's a marketing ploy. Are you going to change your name a few weeks from now to get more ink from Techcrunch et al?

While financial accounting (statements for shareholders, taxes etc) is governed by GAAP and meant to be as standardized across orgs as possible, managerial accounting (internal statements for the purpose of decision making) require a lot more decision making about how you measure things in the interest of providing the most accurate financial picture of the decision at hand.

I am very rusty so anyone who has some real experience in accounting, please correct me. That said, consider a simple example: a manufacturer which sells two types of windows and creates the glass which is used in them.

Line A of windows is selling at lower than expected prices and in financial accounting terms it is loosing money. On the other hand, line B is selling well and appears profitable. With this in mind, the company kills line A expecting to increase their profitability by the amount the line was previously loosing. Unfortunately, the subsequent decrease in the amount of glass the organization is producing reduces the scale of their glass making operation and drives up their per-pane cost. At these higher input costs, line B is no longer profitable at it's current selling price and the company looses even more money than they would have had they continued to run the "unprofitable" line A.

Of course, any competent management team would be able to forecast this scenario and devise a host of other solutions (sell glass to a competitor, for example). But the question here is: how should they present this reality in financial accounting? Decrease the recorded cost of glass used in line A? Add some sort of subsidy from the profits of line A?

All of a sudden it becomes extremely "creative".
I prefer to call it AOL Techcrunch these days.

It's supposedly an element on the periodic table of the web (a blog element), and people that launch also want to become elements on that table and want to associate with an element already on it.
Rangevoting.org had the interesting idea of trying to promote a non-FPTP system (in their case, range voting, obviously :P ) by convincing the major parties to use it in their primaries/caucauses. The idea I think being that using it for internal elections is something they (for now) stand to gain from, and since those are often truly multi-way contests there's no internal equivalents of the "major parties" who would (know that they could) benefit in the primaries from sticking to FPTP.

I don't think they're really active anymore, but it remains the most plausible approach I've heard.

Ask HN: How can I go from 0 Knowledge of programming to $100/mo
Sorry for the long title..

Somethings about me: I'm 20, University dropout, really interested in startups, programming, but I have commitment issues so I can never really finish learning something :/. I'm very ambitious but I'm more talk than a take action kind of guy..and I really want to turn that around.

I just quit my job at a fast food place because I dreaded going there knowing I was creating nothing of value.

My goal is to create something that can make at least $100 a month (which I'm sure 90% of the people on this site can do, but I have no idea how to make money what so ever aside from getting a part-time job.) What are the steps that I can take from 0 knowledge to launching something small?
If you just have a sales website its probably not high on your list of priorities no. Same with anything that doesn't collect data (IE presentation only) or an expensive paid for service with a long sales cycle.

In all of the above cases I would consider security while creating, but I wouldn't do a lengthy pen test while trying to get the product out there. Of course that's also dependent on your target audience.
Um, OK. There's a lot wrong here.

For starters, philosophers are plenty comfortable with the limits of rationality, and were poking at that long before Gödel came along. Similarly, "using logic to understand everything" is a pretty sweeping generalization, and one which quite likely commits an equivocation the way you're trying to use it.

As for analytic philosophy, well, you seem to have a lot of misconceptions about what exactly that means. Analytic philosophy's certainly done its fair share of dumb things, but blowing off Gödel for showing "the limits to logic"? Not sure where you get that one from; for the most part, analytic philosophers have been spending the last century or so on things like the problem of demarcation; Gödel's work with respect to formal systems is basically irrelevant to that and to plenty of other things philosophers spend their time on.

You're absolutely right. I was able to tell from the Snapjoy link what the startup did, and whether or not it was a thread worth browsing through. In 2 seconds.

If all YC (and non-YC) startups describe what they do in the title in 10 words or less, everybody wins.
Investor: Are you ready to do your duty for the internet?

Founder: Yes, investor.

Investor: You will not be funded.

Founder: Which wiser, older startup is to take my place?

Investor: My funding will pass to others, to hold in trust until a better startup is ready to launch once more. The internet is to be innovative and profitable again.

Founder: Investor?

Investor: Yes. My decision disappoints you?

Founder: You wrote to me once, listing the four chief virtues: Novel concept, challenging problems, technical excellence, and forging new streams of revenue. As I read the list, I knew my startup had none of them. But I have other virtues, investor. Group purchasing. That can be a virtue when it temporarily eases the deal fatigue that everyone's experiencing. Social sharing, perhaps not in a way that generates revenue, but... there are many ways to measure value. Mashups copying one site but adding a single tweak from another site, because it's been done before so must be good. But none of my virtues were on your list. Even then it was as if you didn't want me for your investment.

Investor: Oh, Founder. You go too far.

Founder: I search the faces of other apps... for ideas to copy, to make you proud. One seed investment, one small round... where you wrote out a check for more than the $150K I've already received. Would have been like feeding a third world family for a thousand years. What is it in my idea that you hate so much?

Investor: Shh, Founder.

Founder: All I've ever wanted was to be like all the other apps out there.

Investor: [Gets down on his knees] Founder. Your derivative idea of a startup is my failure as an advisor. Come [Gives Founder a hug]

Founder: [Founder hugs Investor and cries] Investor. I would have copied all the apps in the world... if you would only invest in me!

Whatever dude. Just ask anyone who grew up in anything resembling a ghetto. There's lots of us who begin to think that shooting rioters on sight is not a bad idea. Where do you think Boondock Saints came from? Honestly, at some point, you just get sick of the shit and you want it to stop, and solutions like the military become appealing.

And therein lies the problem. We know it's inhumane. We know it degrades us further to succumb to that shoot-the-fuckers mentality. It is understood then, that for riots like this to happen at all, we've already lost. That there are scarcely any viable solutions merely brings to surface the existing societal decay.

The point then, is not that you are right and he is wrong or vice versa. The point is that ultimately, the military is brought in for riots of LA-scale intensity because the people want them to be brought in, because in a lose-lose situation, you'd prefer the choice that affords peace.

p.s. It is interesting then, that folks like Jefferson were against standing armies because they were only necessary for oppressing the populace.

p.p.s. Looks like people can't handle the notion that society can slide into nihilism. =P

What is bullshit is that you are being such a jerk to someone you have never met.

Recently pg announced that the startups would be launching soon and he said/asked:

"Please be nice to them. For you their launch may be 'yet another YC startup,'
but for each individual startup this is their big moment."

If you think that is being nice I think I can explain why you do not have a lot of friends.
