> Most of those are not federal programs.

Huh? 2 (medicaid and the children's program) out of 3 are federal; that's most in my book (The state versions of mediad, such as MediCal, are state/federal partnerships.)

Besides, since every state (and territory) has them, why is it relevant whether they're state or federal?

> And some of those are kinda flimsy

Huh? No, they won't do everything that you could possibly want, but neither does any other healthcare system, anywhere in the in the world, govt paid or not.

If you want to argue about the specific things that they won't do, you get to do the relevant research, including on the programs that you think are acceptable.

> like even if I could convince a family member to pay

I'm not suggesting skipping out on a bill (although that's also an option if you can't pay).

Am I the only one who thinks Microsoft is nuts with the whole Metro UI on a PC thing?

I mean it may be a good UI for tablets, but I did not buy two 24" widescreen monitors to run IE in fullscreen. When I use my PC I don't care about active tiles or what's the desktop at all. I have apps to run and work to do.

And I am not about to replace my mouse & keyboard with touchscreen on the desktop anytime soon (if ever).

Simply put tablets and PCs are not the same thing and are not used in for the same purpose. They need different GUIs.

You mean accelerate the push to native APP development, where anything nontrivial requires the development of the same program in 3 different platforms (iOS, Android, Windows/Metro).

Two Different Ways of (Hopefully) Making Money on the Internets 
I been working on the interwebs for over 12 years and everyone I meet wants to make zillions of dollars. From what I have seen there are only two ways doing it.
Between Flash/Silverlight and native is Java. With Java7, you get GPU accelerated multimedia, "applets" not restricted to the browser, point & click deployment with Upstart ..

Very few people are doing client-side java these days, but those are making some rich, immersive experiences, across platforms, and with push deployment.

Having said that, client-side java is hard; No "authoring" tools, all UI & visualization is made by programmers .. not exactly the most discerning of aesthetes ;-)
This is NOT a build specific limitation. This is a decision already made (of course can be reversed).

See this: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2011/09/14/metro-style-br...

"For the web to move forward and for consumers to get the most out of touch-first browsing, the Metro style browser in Windows 8 is as HTML5-only as possible, and plug-in free. The experience that plug-ins provide today is not a good match with Metro style browsing and the modern HTML5 web.

Running Metro style IE plug-in free improves battery life as well as security, reliability, and privacy for consumers. Plug-ins were important early on in the web’s history. But the web has come a long way since then with HTML5. Providing compatibility with legacy plug-in technologies would detract from, rather than improve, the consumer experience of browsing in the Metro style UI."

Congrats on this, very smart (you've kept it simple).

Is this a good way to get designers, I wonder? The alternative that seems that it might work better, browsing portfolios and contacting your favourite designers, as written by Andrew: http://andrewseddon.com/post/3402344430/how-to-find-a-design...
I answered Yes, but it's better to do some research about the audience and their style. Even in large organizations the styles can vary greatly. In my experience substance trumps style in most cases. If you choose to wear a suit, make sure it looks absolutely schmick!
Yes, some email is ok if you want to hear about certain things. But I'm honestly tired of the typical email dance that starts with signing up for a new app.

First there's the confirmation email, then the congratulatory email for confirming.

Now if this is one of those Launchrock type fake signups, then you get reminder emails about spreading the word to skip the queues, which is probably lies anyway. But let's assume you got in.

Then the notifications start (StrangerX is now following you on YetAnotherApp). Turning off these notifications involves finding the settings page on the app, then unchecking fifteen checkboxes. At this point, I'd rather delete my account, but of course that feature's not built yet (it's an MVP duh)!

Then constant emails from the founders: "We noticed you signed up for our awesome app three minutes ago but you haven't started loving our app yet. Why not? Feel free to ask any questions if you have doubts about loving our app."

Then feature updates. And as was pointed out in a post couple of days ago, they don't even bother to remind you who the hell they are.

To top it all, a lot of startups still use DO NOT REPLY email addresses. W.T.F. Even Joel Spolsky's new Trello app did it! (Hello Joel! How about going back and reading some of those Joel on Software articles?)

Many don't have an unsubscribe link in their emails. Some do, but that takes you to "manage subscriptions". The only ones which have a proper 1-click unsubscribe link are the nice ones I don't mind hearing from.

Boy that's a long rant. I should start blogging.

It depends on whether you normally are comfortable wearing a suit.

If it makes you feel uncomfortable or gives you a 'dressed up monkey' feeling then better dress for your own comfort.

If you are used to wearing suits, look good in one and feel more confident then by all means wear a suit.

Pitching is all about confidence, anything that helps your confidence is good.

> Plug-ins were important early on in the web’s history. But the web has come a long way since then with HTML5.

Can you tell me how I record video or audio using HTML5 only? Even playing more than a single audio sample and getting them to sync is a challenge.
You don't even have to imagine, just grab an Android tablet.

Flash - as it is used on the web today - is difficult and unpleasant to use via touch. This is mostly due to the movies being optimised for mouse, not touch. If you include Flash in a new tablet, it certainly shouldn't be for its existing uses.
Depends. I know a guy who works sometimes at Amazon and sometimes in the investment banking world. He dresses down for Amazon and suits up for bankers.

So, it depends on your audience. There's no one answer.
Who needs Windows that cannot run their old lovely trojan.exe and virus.exe^W^W^W old-proprietary-crap.exe and in-house-crap.exe that was developed 10 years ago and all contacts of the developers, leave alone sources, got lost or never been made?

The ability to run an old win32 desktop crap.exe is what Windows is all about. Only a complete idiot will choice it as a platform for a new, build from the ground up project, or, god forbid, a server.

And there is enough ways to run a web-browser, especially plug-in-less one. It is called Android. ^_^
I am possibly very biased about this. My opinion is that Silverlight is strictly superior to Java as a CLIENT-SIDE technology in terms of speed (runtime and startup time), memory, penetration (see http://riastats.com), supporting and tooling, language support, feature set (GPU, out-of-browser, etc), and deployment. If SL and Flash cannot survive, client-side Java browser plugin has no chance.
An appointment with Linus is cheaper than "a lot more" with Jolie and Fox together, so I'll go with the latter.

Except it's stupid.
My rule for customer facing interaction: when talking to a customer or client, always be one notch more 'formal' than they are. If they are in t-shirts and jeans, then a collared shirt with no tie is ideal. If they are in collared shirts, then put on a tie and jacket. If they are wearing suits, so should you.

Investors are a totally different beast. In my opinion, most of them aren't going to be too concerned about how you dress other than judging if you present yourself well to your customers/clients (see above).

If your application relies on MFC, Webforms etc, then yes... it would be a lot of work to port it over to Metro UI but this is not the case for web-browsers where 99% code is already cross-platform and completely independent of GUI.

So for web-browser, this is not a matter of "porting". It's a matter of adding new "chrome" for WinRT.
I agree. Pitching investors and selling to b2b customers is two very different situations.

In the Valley? Jeans and a t-shirt is fine if you are a geek.
you look like a monkey willing to dance for change if you wear a suit but are clearly uncomfortable. wear whatever makes you most comfortable.

i once met a vc in a bar, when he came up to me and asked how i had managed to monopolize all of the beautiful women in the bar. at the time, i believe i was wearing eyeliner and clearly intoxicated.

i met the guy a week or two later, wearing torn jeans, a leather jacket, several rather elaborate rings, and a t-shirt that said 'proud to be awesome,' because that's the kind of clothes i normally wore at the time, and i didn't really think about what he'd think of it. we talked for a while and he gave me a hookup for a cto gig, i think largely because i made it evident how self confident i am.

How To Create A Debian Wheezy (Testing) OpenVZ Template
Before answering that question, you have to answer two other questions. 1) Do you own a suit that actually really fits and 2) are you comfortable wearing it. If the answer to those two questions isn't "Yes", then skip the suit. Clean jeans without holes, a plain t-shirt, without obscure band names or sarcastic slogans, black leather shoes and a jacket will make you look far better dressed than badly fitting suit that makes you feel uncomfortable.

Microsoft simply can't throw out their native program base. When .NET was released, they promoted the idea that it was going to be the Windows API in the long run. But most commercial applications (including Microsoft's) are still written for the native API. While .NET was a success for custom applications.

I expect pretty much the same from Metro. It will be adopted for certain uses: small and touch devices. For the rest I doubt it'll get in the way.

I believe Microsoft is trying to atrract developers to the new interface, but "native Windows" is there to stay.
It is best to play it safe. You can never go wrong with a suit. But if you are underdressed, it may work against you. These meetings are not the place to make a statement about life style. They are just meetings. As the saying goes: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Apple Has Patented Xbox Kinect, Or Something Of That Sort
ASP.NET 4.5 adds support for WebSockets
This seems interesting, but I'm wondering who the target customer is (both for PiCloud, and for this specific use case with REST publishing).

We're running on Heroku, where workers are expensive (at least, unless you scale them dynamically). We looked at SimpleWorker, which is basically PiCloud for Ruby. But latency for enqueue-ing a job was way too high, and not having access to database models and such made it inconvenient for that purpose. (Long story short, we ended up with Resque like everyone else.) Does PiCloud have the enqueue latency problem beat? (Like under 100ms RTT?)

But these services don't make sense to me for big data or scientific computing either. If you have tons of data, you're probably going to end up with something like MapReduce with some specialized HBase-like backend. And most "scientific computing" I've seen seems to be either MATLAB (if performance is no issue at all) or custom C++ code linking to specific linear algebra libraries (if performance is important). That said, I'm not an expert in either of these use cases, so maybe I'm wrong? Maybe this is for mobile or to fix some brokenness in GAE?

Put another way, what is the use case where you (a) don't care about high enqueue latency, (b) don't care about running within your own infrastructure and with your own code (e.g., for database access), (c) want tons of compute cycles in Python without having to manage the infrastructure, but (d) don't want specific control over the actual infrastructure and data persistence?
How about none of the above?

Anyway, to put it bluntly: I wouldn't want to work for a company with such a sexist attitude. Diversity is good.
Oh I like that idea, just registered sdcrafted.com to do something similar for San Diego.

Years ago the web was not powerful enough, hence Macromedia/Adobe Flash. Adobe got complacent, thought it was the king of the world.

Then Microsoft joined the RIA fray with Silverlight, battling for control of the web. Flash was everywhere, SL up-and-coming. It was meant to be a spectacular battle, but both companies were blind-sided by this little web standard thing which was about to crash the party...

Except that it didn't. The war didn't end because someone won, but because Steve Jobs said so. It was only an illusion that HTML5 renders the RIA plugins irrelevant. In reality, it was the emergence of native apps. First iPhone, then Android, iPad, and now even Windows/Metro. Who cares about rich cross-browser apps?

So instead of developing a rich application that runs on all platforms, you either use HTML5/Javascript (if your application is not as hard), or implement the same thing on 3 platforms with 3 different languages on using 3 different toolsets. Wanna do something very rich/powerful cross-browser? Forget it! Everybody happy now?
And this is why kudos must be given to Microsoft for not making the distinction between "Developer Preview" and "Beta" more noticeable. Wasn't one of the reasons behind Vista's huge flop being that in the betas, driver support was incredibly lacklustre?

It's not a direct parallel, but this and the fact that companies like Google have completely upturned the definition of "beta", or well, pre-releases in general, seems to show how people come to their final judgement very easily.

I suppose that could be why Apple doesn't release things until they're well and truly ready for the limelight.

Yes, on the condition that you own a halfway decent (not £40 from a supermarket) suit and you're comfortable wearing it. I do and am, and always have - it's a sign of taking the other party seriously, to my mind. If it proves laughably formal (never has but I can imagine the environment where it would), removing both jacket and tie leaves a decent compromise almost anywhere.

On the other hand, I've known others (though surprisingly few) who couldn't look less comfortable and at home in a suit if you cut anatomically unfortunate holes in it and poured in itching powder. For them it's clearly a net loss, but I think many people unnecessarily put themselves in that group.

I don't agree with that. A suit is not playing it safe, while say clean jeans and a nice shirt (not a t-shirt) is playing it safe, if you usually wear jeans and a t-shirt. I'm in the gaming industry and pitching with a suit would just be wrong, it would give a suck-up look. You don't believe in your company enough so you have to mask it by wearing a suit?
To follow that then, at the same time you're practicing your pitch, work on your physical presentation as well. That could very well meaning getting consultations if wardrobe style doesn't come naturally to you or buying a suit and wearing it to other events to let it grow on you.
