Unthink - A new social revolution (network)

Research Paper Topic- The Key to a Successful Research
Before beginning the research, the first and foremost step is to come to a decision on the research paper topic. From an academic perspective, research paper is an integral part of the curriculum for college students. A research paper is a representation of one’s subject matter understanding
Here's a teaser video about it. There's not much to go on out there.

The production value of the video is pretty good, but maybe it's all hype?
>I think karma works here at HN because it is a hidden score (to avoid the Reddit scenario)

That's only recently been the case, and the majority of the HN community still seems to be against it. If anything I've noticed more low-quality comments that haven't been downvoted lately, but that could easily, as you suggest, be a result of changing demographics and not connected with hidden karma. Unfortunately, as any community grows larger there will be a lowering of overall quality, though the number of high-quality comments may remain the same. It's the perception of lower quality that drives away the best members, so a preponderance of low-quality comments obscuring a number of very good ones can have a disastrous feedback effect.

I recall reading that part of pg's decision to start HN was as an experiment in entropy-avoidance. To that end, he has never sought to grow HN's traffic beyond that which the community could absorb. Now that HN is constantly mentioned in blogs, techcrunch, on facebook and g+, that might not be a viable strategy anymore. I eagerly await the changes he has in store for HN.

As for reddit's karma system being broken: that's not the problem. It's the demographic. The karma system works great in subreddits with a good community, and terribly in some of the larger subreddits with more of a 4chan/facebook crowd. Determining visibility by voting is only a problem when the voters are idiots. Also, as much as the HN community (many of them current and former redditors) may decry the devolution of reddit's overall quality, we really aren't the target audience. Reddit is a business that makes money through growth, and the overall reduction in quality has coincided with a huge surge in popularity and profitability. That's no accident. We may not like it anymore, but that's not an indictment of their business model or strategy.
I think there's an even more subtle implication that pg is too busy (and should be) to code, yet he still CHOOSES to continue to code. Obviously it would be really easy to find someone to do the coding work - whether keeping up with HN or the creating investor/startup interface - but his choice to continue coding is a statement he and the article are making.
I did the same thing with Slackware 7. I remember downloading Linux 2.4 the day it came out on my Windows machine which took over 8 hours on NetZero dial up. I then compiled it on my Linux machine which took over a day. It was still running when I went to (middle) school and returned. I completely hosed my machine but I've learned a bit since then. :)
This "business model" is getting old, make a social network, make it super popular, then do data mining, profit!

I understand this is the first iteration and they'll likely change the product, but, it almost looks like a scam to get people data and predict stuff like stock market; A lot of people are doing it on Twitter already, if the founders didn't think about that they're hugely innocent.
This may be a stupid question, but how do you go about getting these domains? I refuse to believe GoDaddy Domain Buy Service isn't a scam...

Asking from nearly complete ignorance here but: with a JS compiler/optimizer like Google's Closure [1] wouldn't it be possible to still use jQuery but have all the unnecessary code that's not used striped out?

Good names are a fine use of money because you can probably sell them back.
I don't. Besides Heroku is supported by salesforce.com, so there's at least some longevity and synergy between the two.

Also, not all PaaS players will commoditize over the same feature-set. Example in point, Heroku's Java support doesn't allow you to put a .war file up like you can do in Amazon's Elastic Beanstalk.
Honored as I am to be mentioned in the same breath as Marco, I'm pretty sure you meant idlewords, who runs pinboard, and not me. I haven't leased a private server since about 2004! I just posted the story.
So... what did it look like BEFORE Google+ came along?
Many apps made these days make use of infinite scroll. Users are getting used to this style.

If the purpose of the Skip All button is to compile a list of restaurants the user has not yet visited, and if this information is sufficiently useful such that you don't want to get rid of the button altogether, perhaps consider a happy medium: for instance, a Skip All of the Above button placed between every ten restaurants on an infinitely scrolling list.

I, for one, think the scroll down -> skip all -> scroll down -> skip all design is clunky--especially since I've visited less than 5% of the restaurants presented at any given time.
This argument is patently false. Money that did not flow to one industry went somewhere else: another industry or service, into savings or it was eaten by interest on some debt or another.

The record industry is appallingly inefficient. Millions are wasted or squandered on marketing, bribes, promotion and extravagances that serve no practical purpose. Smaller labels are often able to produce better quality music with tiny budgets. The recording industry is not particularly profitable at the moment because many incumbent players are so utterly wasteful with their capital.

Many other industries are presently under pressure because they are inefficient. Retail is unsustainable and cannot compete with internet-based competitors. Newspapers are suffering a crisis of identity in most regions due to their editorial directions. Many newspapers have moved towards sensationalist tabloid journalism which turns many people off spending actual money on them because they are not as crazy as actual cranks on the internet or they are offering inferior journalism when compared to the news outlets that didn't race to the bottom.

Then you try to claim that torrenting is the problem and not the fault of the companies themselves. How many people who download media do you think would buy it if the price and service was right? I would say near 100%. Many people who pirate music, movies and tv I know do it because they have no money for discretionary spending. Think students, the working poor, and those who cannot afford foreign prices on local wages. Region coding is probably the second biggest reason I know of for people to pirate things. Either the content is not available because of censorship, or it is unfairly priced or media companies place long delays on making it available. I would say my biggest reason for getting all my content legitimately was getting a US credit card. Prices in Australia are often twice what the exact same product costs in the US. There is no justification for this. Companies are capitalizing on artificial barriers to competition to wring additional profits out of their customers.

Capitalism isn't a charity, corporations don't get money simply for existing. If they cannot compete they should pull their funds out and invest in something that can turn a profit.
It's not very useful to me.

When I'm learning anything visual (GUI, plotting libraries) I really like a gallery of live examples.

YUI's site seems to assume that you already know what you are looking for.

The new site puts 4 examples (todo, calendar, charts, and search) on the home page, which is 4 more than I found the last time I looked. For contrast, jQuery UI has dozens of examples (under http://jqueryui.com/demos).

You have the pages - http://yuilibrary.com/yui/docs/examples/, but it's not really promoted. I bet you don't get many clicks to that page (due to the design of your site pushing people to other sections), but I bet the people who go there find it useful. Everyone else lands here: http://yuilibrary.com/yui/docs/guides/. Unless they think to go back, everywhere they click will look like a man page, complete with big "caveat" boxes. Functional, if you are debugging YUI, but otherwise it's just ugly.

IMO, you should promote the live examples more, rather than the API docs. If I want to do some complex stuff, I'll look for a section labeled "API". If I'm just trying to assess whether a toolkit is useful, if I don't stumble onto live examples I'll wonder why you aren't even using the tookit on its own homepage.

You could also go one better, and put some screenshots (or inlined examples) on the example index docs/examples/.

People don't complain about "design" because they think it's ugly. They complain because they can't find what they are looking for (even if they don't know what they want).
The Slashcode book documented the moderation system and its design principles almost a decade ago.
What kind of awareness (or marketing) are you doing for that website? HN is one good start.

For design, sorry, but your theme/UX sucks very badly. Lets start with the biggest problem; frontpage: It seems that your frontpage shows very little value for returning members. Instead of seeing a list of threads on a frontpage on like HN, Reddit, email, etc, users are forced to check each forum section if there are threads worth reading/contributing.

Stack Overflow example: It rose so quickly because it was backed by noted bloggers eg CodingHorror. Those people worked together to create a question/answer website and was able to drive interested traffic that kept coming back. Why? Because it was highly relevant and people that comment on the noted blogs also did it on Stack Overflow.

Further, Stack Overflow's frontpage has new stuff on frontpage and lots of direction to go.

Reddit example: They created many fake accounts and submitted stuff in order to gain a feedback loop. Even PG sent some users their way although it was YC funded. Plus the Reddit frontpage has relevant content of full titles with pictures. Everything is simple and easy.
If you're at all optimizing based on what will be valuable when you sell your company for scrap, you've already lost.

(Talent acquisitions may defy this to an extent, but that just goes to show how valuable great people are, and in particular the value of many great people who work well together)
Last startup I believed the "the data will be profitable someday" but not this time.

I'd rather figure out an actual business model.
Don't kill America's databook
One could easily look at it from the opposite direction:

Consumers want to access their company email on their personal property. The inclusion of ActiveSync wasn't to help enterprise IT departments, it was the help the consumer access the resources they want to access.

That said, there are other features of iOS that do support your point of view.
joshu...congrats on finally launching! Seems like forever since I saw the first Tasty Labs teaser page.

A few thoughts, can you guys make it a bit MORE clear exactly what jig is on first-load. I know the pop-up is there that asks for my zip-code and briefly tells me what the site does, but it doesn't articulate clearly which problem is being solved here.

Especially since the front-page looks like a 'typical' Q&A site (a la Stack Overflow & Quora). I think you might be on to something really powerful here...but it isn't articulated properly in the top 400px.

Maybe one suggestion might be, pushing the section that starts off with 'Recent Needs' and 'Unmet Needs' down and having a section right above it with 'Met Needs' - so it shows the solutions that have been provided to people's needs.

I think your approach to 'intent harvesting' is brilliant....and could be VERY lucrative. Google makes a bajillion dollars monetizing activity around figuring out people's intent when they are searching.

But you guys are cutting through all that clutter and getting straight to the point. From there, you can then make recommendations based on either recent activity/suggestions from friends or products that work.

What I am seeing here is, a solution to the 'product search' problem. Where, no longer do I have to figure out the 'right search term' to use to get the product I am looking for.

If that's kinda the direction you guys are going, well...it sounds VERY exciting.

If not, I am sure you have some brilliant plan working towards and look forward to seeing how this evolves.
Full lace wig
Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. I don't know if I agree with the other commenter about interspersed skip alls. For me, scrolling past seems less final then hitting skip. If I hit skip, I was afraid that a negative mark would be given to the restaurant. I know that's not the case, but it was a very strong incentive for me not to want to hit skip, or the x. I didn't feel like harshly judging a place that I'd never been to.
I don't know how to say this without sounding like a dick, but how is this a "product" and not an intro to web programming 101 assignment?
I hate it when I go to a website and there is no information about the company/thing/whatever, but there is a field where you can leave your email. I don't like the idea that I have to be invited to learn more about what you're doing!
Ya, missed that before the edit deadline went by. Whoops.
I'd take a guess that you need to write your JS with Closure in mind. I wonder how much jQuery code would be stripped out with the Closure compiler.
I'm not at a real computer to check, but I think $400m barely paid back the investors.

And speaking as a former NeRD (NeXT Registered Developer), it was definitely a flop. The computers sold only in a few niches, and they had to kill off the hardware entirely. The OS and the dev tools lasted longer, but they wouldn't have survived more than another few years.
I actually stopped visitng /. for awhile there when I found digg would cover stories almost immediately, only showing up on slashdot a day or two later. But once digg got too popular their promotion system clearly broke down (not to mention the awful awful 'community', and I've been back to /. (and later HN) since
Omnigraffle is phenomenal as well. I believe in using some level of fidelity in mockups. Omnigraffle gives you all the tools to quickly line up elements and try on layouts / copy really fast. It's the essential tool in my app bar that helps me handle helping 60+ startups with design simultaneously.
Who did the UI and design? I really like it :)
What makes this extra crazy is that the last time I was forced to think "Real? They still exist?" was because they were trying to market commercial DVD ripping software and complaining about getting shut down by the MPAA-ish entities. Now they're suing someone for a link?
Apple's fruitless patent fight with Samsung
Apple will never admit it, but it's a better company and the iPad and iPhone are better products because of the competition from Android. Instead of fighting fruitless legal battles with Samsung, Motorola, and HTC Apple should focus on making the best product and letting the markets decide, and it often decides in Apple's favor. I know that sounds a little cliché, but it's true, why not focus it's legal efforts fighting Lodsys and Intellectual Ventures instead of Samsung and HTC?
I don't think learning as much as you can about everything is possible, or even necessary.

Instead, play leap-frog. Make an educated guess about where some portion of the industry is going to evolve and start learning those skills _before_ they becomes uber popular. Then after 4 or so years, do it again.

I did this recently (within the last 18 months) and jumped into mobile development. That decision now allows me to freelance from home making just as much money if I were in a cubicle.

Any idea what you'll be working on? I'm almost certain they want you to help them fixing security holes, keeping us jailbreakers out, but I can't say I like it much!

Personally, I'll keep my fingers crossed that you'd be assigned to UIKit, or sales! ;-)
I use GF3.1 as they are the only one that implement JEE6 in full. There's an issue with deploy/undeploy app (memory leak due to pushing ClassLoader to the edge) which is kind of annoying to me personally because we do frequent build/deploy. I wish we can use Jetty (I used Jetty, Servlet, GWT in my previous company) since it is way leaner and faster to reboot; especially via Maven.

Although I've never measured the deployment performance, I'm quite sure the smaller your EAR/WAR size the faster it deploys because the ClassLoader is required to scan + load those libraries (again, it depends on the behavior of your library: up-front or lazy loading).
I got tired of waiting, and am working on a replacement to vBulletin that has a rich API and uses sensible modern data stores.

Beyond just 'mongo please', are there features you're looking for?
I kinda think that you need to show people what it's about, not tell them, because people don't actually read.

I like your suggestion re "met needs" thanks.
Sweet! This is good to know :-).
I'm curious what browsers you're supporting and experience you're aiming for with your hand rolled javascript.

Targeting phones outside of iOS and Android with anything but the most basic functionality is a difficult task without help. A prime example being the 500+ ms delay created when adding event listeners for click instead of touch events. Click covers everything but it creates a perceptibly slow ui for the user.
Long story. Basically I wrote code to generate plausibly euphonic words and check to see if they are registered.

One particular high scorer was already registered but unused so I tried to buy it. The domain owner had others, offered jig, which was WAY better than what I was trying to buy. So I did it.
Will it survive first contact with enemy? Right now jig is very much like Quora. But yeah, every successful product is a mass creating gravitation in the product design space.

Ask HN: Review this idea - Online Dubbing Service.
A community powered video dubbing service to dub videos in different languages or accents.

1. Video owner uploads a video and fix a price for winning dubbing. He also provides the dialogs in plain English text.

2. Community submit their dubbing (mp3 upload or direct recording using flash) which gets overlay-ed on video.

3. Community rates and discuss about dubbing.

4. Video owner selects the winners and pays the winning amount.

5. He can then download the dubbed video.

What you guys think about this idea?

Jailbreaking isn't illegal for him now, but I imagine the taint of insider knowledge of Apple's products could make future jailbreak development a very risky proposition indeed!
Same here. I unintentionally commented instead of suggesting.
In my experience, a good coder is also a good writer and, if they get over the visceral fear of public speaking, a good speaker.
Essay Request PG: How to Present Your Startup. I'd love to know what advice you give to all the YC companies about presenting in front of press and investors.
Makes sense...I didn't mean specifically put an epistle. But really showing them - rather than telling them in a few words.
From Mistake 10: "People interested in local events (that one is a perennial tarpit)". Would you please give an example or elaborate a little bit more on that?

Nice. I can't wait to see the laptop world in about two years.
> If you're at all optimizing based on what will be
> valuable when you sell your company for scrap

1. The name has tangible benefit to the company prior 'selling it for scrap.'

2. It's still a cost/benefit analysis, but the fact that you may be able to recoup the costs factors in to mitigate some of the risk of sinking too much money into the name.

3. Who says that you can't resell the name, and rebrand if it's a failure?

4. The name has resell value for a reason.

5. If I buy a car based on resell value, have I also 'already lost?'
The dark side of Steve Jobs
If you want to make an effective argument, I'd suggest you find a new quote. I can't speak for everyone, but I swear that I see that quote invoked at least every other week, and usually incorrectly.

I personally haven't figured out how best to interpret the quote, but I believe there is a line somewhere, an understanding I have not reached... For example, would you argue that acquiescing to the ban on assault weapons falls under this quote? There are already a number of restrictions imposed on our Liberty- even on First Amendment rights- that most people seem to think entirely reasonable.

(Not expressing an opinion on the article, merely protesting what seems to be, though I can't put my finger on it, a constant misuse of Franklin's quote)
It was a terrible failure. And I say that as a guy who loved the product so much I still have boxed copies of the NeXT OS in one closet or another.

If the company was once priced at >$600m and the company sold for $429m (plus less than $10m in Apple stock) then it was a clear loser. Canon alone could have ended up with $200m in cash with a perfectly safe investment. In venture terms, that's a failure.

It was also a failure in terms of meeting any goal set originally. Almost nobody bought the hardware. Almost nobody bought the OS. Almost nobody bought their Windows development tools, their last gasp of a product. It was a brilliant product, but as businesses goes, it was one smoking crater after another.

Moreover, that was a pity sale. Nobody else in the world would have bought NeXT. Nobody needed Jobs or the OS; Apple, uniquely, was doomed without both. Without that, NeXT would have been out of business within a few years. Those sale terms were crafted to make Jobs happy to come on board, and for no other reason.
