Ask HN: Can you sell small non-scaling startups?
When listening to PGs office hours at disrupt I once again heard this famous "looks like a nice business for an steady income but nothing which can scale".
I remember hearing this myself and ignored that advice. And I think the reason was that I didn't want to give up the dream of selling my small non scaling startup. But maybe this relation is wrong.
So can you sell small businesses?

You can do all of this via controllers. You can execute any Ruby code you want before each template renders.

There is distinction between filters for content and layouts, simply use the layout filename in a before block.

You can execute any Ruby you want. You can use ActiveRecord, Redis, whatever. Load YAML for metadata. None of this stuff needs to be baked in, Ruby already does it.

Well done!

I understand it's part of running your own startup, but does anyone have any practical advise on how to take the emotion out of it?

The most important thing about Windows 8 is that it is Steven Sinofsky's audition for the Microsoft CEO role.

If Windows 8 is a success he has a great chance to replace Ballmer. If (and when) that happens is when people should start paying attention to what Microsoft does again.

Sinofsky is no Steve Jobs, but he is one of the few people who are proving able to consistently produce good products at Microsoft. If he ran the company they'd be a force in the industry again.

The only thing the government can do to effect change in the actions of the people in the world is by the threat of jail if you do (e.g. steal) or do not do (e.g. pay taxes) something. That's all they can do.

For every problem the government "fixes", someone is losing a freedom or liberty that they once had.

For almost all of the problems in the world caused by the behaviors of humans, more laws are almost never the solution.

I'll get on board; I need to relearn this. Email in profile.
I like Gruber, but this isn't his best piece. He's trying too hard to argue something that's obvious - Windows 8 is coming out in a year or more, so placing it in the competitive landscape probably requires a fairly harsh assessment. If you make a few modest projections about where the iPad and Android will be in a year (both in market/mindshare and in terms of product advancement), Windows 8 will probably be at a hard disadvantage in the consumer space.

There's a lot to discuss/praise/criticize about Windows 8 so it's a shame he got into the discussion by rising to flamebait and flailing at something resembling a criticism of MS's strategy.

Well, to start with they could lock the API down correctly so you had to supply a number plate to get 2-3 likely matches. And fuzz the photos they send a bit more so it is legible enough to identify your car, but not to read the license plate itself. And remove superfluous data from the IP results, like time of entry.

As compared to the current system where you can immediately get a list of every car in the carpark, with its location, entry time, and photos where the license plates are discernable.

And they could institute per-IP throttling of requests (no more than 5 an hour or something) to stop someone brute-forcing number plate combinations to get a "map" of the centre.

Finally they could have locked out the admin interface so that random members of the public couldn't do other things as well. ;)

But you're right in general - even implemented correctly, this feature has an interesting privacy implication - at any given time, anyone with a license plate number and a vague description of the vehicle can check if that car is parked at a Westfield, and where it is parked.

Some people have talked about "crypto" and I can see lot of ways you could add some level of encryption or auth to make things slightly more obfuscated (perhaps require pre-registration of your car), but I can't see a any way that would change the fundamentals.

The app is essentially designed to let people look up car locations by license plate numbers, and as long as it does that it seems to me there will be some level of privacy issue.
It is amazing! I hope outside U.S service will come soon and calculate flights globally.

A social network with file sharing. Why not?
Idea: A social utility that creates massive data clouds around a user's files and his friends files.

I'm building a better social utility and need opinions on why file serving in a social network may be good or not so good idea.

Background: Photos, videos and even messages are simply files accessible by one's social network.

Example: User A shares his favorite songs in an upload. His/Her friends may then listen to those tracks online.

Why don't we have a social utility that allows ANY file sharing/exchanging?
Ask HN: How to deal with compensation disparity among peers
There is disparity in compensation in among peers, this happens both at an organization level(colleagues) and also at a personal level(friends).

If I look at myself as the median, I feel happy that I have reached somewhere when I look at the people below me, I feel sad that I have reached nowhere when I look at the people above me. My moods often oscillate between these two states and this is affecting my work and peace of mind.

How does one deal with this?

As someone who can't draw a thing, there's a phenomenon I've noticed that might apply. Every time I need to draw something out, I try to hold it clearly in my head, where it looks so complete, but of course it never works. My suspicion is that instead of actually seeing the details of what I want to draw in my head, my brain has filled them in with "here be details," which makes for a nice mental image but that doesn't really play so well on paper.

I also think the same thing happens when we write software with loose mental maps. Our brains fill in the gaps with "yadda yadda yadda," to make it feel complete, but really there's nothing there at all.

YaCart.com - Close Up Lens
Close up as the word goes – means coming closer. Here it simply means coming closer to the depicted object. We at times come across situation where we cannot really get closer the object to shoot them. It sometimes becomes very important to get very close to the subject in order to shoot in detail. You might have noticed that the size of the subject reduces as we move backwards. Now if you are using a close up lens you can overcome all this difficulty. With a good quality close up lens you can move backwards and yet get a closer view of the image. It entities you to zoom in the lense of the camera without getting closer to the objects and help you in getting good quality pictures as well. Buy cheap camera lenses at http://www.yacart.com/ website.

This is what's wrong with law makers. There's a perfectly good mechanism to prevent unauthorized downloading, it's called a password. Giving a file away, like giving a pamphlet away on the street corner, implicitly gives the right to view the file. Anything else is ridiculous, absolutely unworkable, and will make for a ton of loopholes in the future.

HTML/etc is specifically designed to be device and program independent. At every turn developers are cautioned that users may receive only part of the content, that it may not render as expected, etc. There's even a mechanism for checking which client program is being used if you care. As they claim to...

If some downloading of the file is prohibited, they - not the users, should be in trouble. They know of the issue and aren't taking even the most basic of security steps. They're clearly all incompetent, from tech to manager to lawyer - all literally incapable of doing their jobs.

The way the article describes Notch's testing methods sounds like a glaring anti-pattern. This reminds me of my first QA job... Thankfully another post in here suggests that he actually takes pains to mold the level design, etc, to make the game more easily testable.

For those who didn't RTFA, though because this isn't Slashdot there shouldn't be any, Notch is reputed to have given some segment of his game a complete replay every time he made a change though it isn't mentioned exactly how often this is or how big the change is. A note is made that his build scripts make this almost instantaneous.

This is a problem because manual testing takes forever and causes tester fatigue. You stop doing a good job.

It can be harder to test behavior in a 3D game than a text filtering app but imho a good design is a testable one. (This does not necessarily mean I'm that good of a designer yet...)
