Kyle, huge fan, and we've talked via Skype in the past, so I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but I'm curious...why not create this as part of Forrst instead of as a separate venture? It seems like you could get some reach, while also adding value to the people paying a monthly supporter fee.

I think this service looks great, but I'm bummed that it was integrated as a supporter benefit.

Edit: I see now that it is a benefit to Forrst members, but in the opposite way I had predicted. Any plans to allow the trading of acorns for job posts? Sometimes it's nice to have backup on projects :)
Cool. I feel like having to click on the icons for them to show up on the map is too expensive. Perhaps just a hover over? And it looks like spots are already categorized; how about having a category that you can click (or hover!) to see all the nearby ones. Anyway, fun! Thanks for sharing.

What?! How are files stored on iOS if there's no filesystem? Maybe you mean no user visible filesystem?
Groupon Back on Track for Its I.P.O.
They send an email every Saturday? That seems somewhat.. not very useful. A site with a list of projects and the number of interested bids and such would work much better.
I own a crossover. And with the newness that is Metro, yours is a better analogy.

BTW, while the government had to intervene in the aircraft case, there have been cases of various companies coming together to form their own private patent pool too, the most famous of which would be related to the sewing machine:
http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2010/10/28/why-is-a-smartphone-l...

"The Sewing Machine War was the first instance of what is today called a 'patent thicket.' The disputes prevented Singer from selling his invention, and tensions ran high in and out of court: When Howe personally called on Singer, Singer threatened to throw him down a flight of stairs.

But there’s a happy ending to the story, as your machine-stitched clothes evince. The Sewing Machine War ended with a just and lasting peace in 1856, when Orlando B. Potter--a lawyer representing one of the plaintiffs--suggested a solution that Mossoff calls 'groundbreaking but also breathtakingly simple': The patent-holders would combine their patents in a 'patent pool' and share the profits from selling the machines. The patent pool participants lived happily and wealthily ever after--or at least until 1877, when the last patent expired."
I find F# very tempting as a gateway into .NET. Anyone used it with MVC?
But, it turns out that, the sewing machine patent pool may have inhibited innovation, according to this paper:
http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1308997).

"Contrary to theoretical predictions, the sewing machine pool appears to have discouraged patenting and innovation, in particular for the members of the pool. Data on stitches per minute, as an objectively quantifiable measure of performance, confirm these findings. Innovation for both members and outside firms slowed as soon as the pool had been established and resumed only after it had dissolved. "
Does this mean Visual Studio is going to run discovery queries in order to provide auto complete?
I just went straight to the page, signed up, and started exploring it.
In other industries, it can take years and millions/billions of investment before a product steps on someone's patent.

With software, you can design, build and sell a product overnight for virtually no cost and do the same.
This. I've recently realized I learn best by minimizing consequences and failing quick. I think it comes down to being able to separate critique from my feelings and also assessing why I didn't get what I wanted, and applying what I've learned to get what I want next time.

I'm sales for a new b2b saas startup with no sales background, but I'm great with people and I can handle cold calling and rejection. I fail all the time, I'm not able to get a response from first contact, I lose contact after a couple emails, on the phone/in person I cant answer a technical question, I provided poor customer service, I went down on price to soon, I sold features not benefits, etc.

The point is, every time I'm successful, I get a response from a cold email, or move a customer further down the pipe towards a sale I take a mental note and also write in my CRM. I'm constantly evolving my pitch as my product and industry knowledge grow. There are dozens of thousands of potential customers so my risk is minimized because any mistake will be between me and them only, and I'm able to fail fast by reaching out to a lot of potential customers.
Wow. It exists! Thanks.

I get a "Retrieving position timeout" error, even though I accept to share my location (on both Firefox and Google Chrome on OS X; geosharing works otherwise, for instance on this: http://slides.html5rocks.com/#geolocation.)

EDIT: Additionally, it would be nice to have a short description with screenshots of what it is supposed in the case that you cannot get through the location stage...
Please tell me this took you a long time? The design is I impeccable and I can barely make fonts stick (hnnotify.com)

You designers are an enigma to me, you make beautiful seem so easy :(

Oh yea, and the app is very cool.
I agree. Buttt... HN likes things that have to do with HN more :) got more upvotes with the word HN in it :( pretty dumb.
Governments are sovereign entities. They don't have to abide by laws at all.

So they can just declare your bonds worthless (actually all of the branches can : the parliament, justice system and the executive can declare your bonds worthless)

The only consequence this has is the long-term viability of those bonds. The problem is that Greece needs fresh borrowed money just to make the interest payments on it's currently borrowed capital.
I think failure can be extremely valuable on the path to success, provided you learn from your mistakes. But very often people erroneously assign blame or put too much weight on the wrong causes for the failure, and that leaves them no more likely to succeed.

If something doesn't pan out, it is very important to make an honest assessment of why the failure occurred, so the next time around you can make the necessary changes. Doing this is also likely to increase your confidence.

That said, I did find the article interesting because I have always wondered about the incentive system in place in our education system. I think too many parents and teachers put WAY too much emphasis on grades, test scores, and constantly feel compelled to compare performance with other students. To me I am tempted to believe that the most important traits in anybody are enthusiasm and optimism for one thing. What thing? It doesn't really matter. I would much rather see a kid who is enthusiastic about doing something they believe in than obsessively studying to outperform their peers so they can get their ticket punched to move on to the next round and repeat the process.

It seems that this post may have been artificially upvoted by the author of this post.

The oldest comments are all at the bottom and are short, trivial and grayed out comments. One of those comments appears to be legit and another appears to be from a fellow Brazilian entrepreneur. However the rest are suspect.

The submitter/author of the post created his account 23 days ago.

The following accounts were all created 22 and 23 days ago and have only commented on everwrite related posts.

http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=mateusbicalho

These accounts were created shortly after this was submitted and have only posted on this submission with the same short, positive comments.

http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=jpresende
http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=eusouomatt

These all do have real name formats, so perhaps these are all employees of everwrite and were asked to come vote this up? I'm not sure what the official rules are here, but it certainly leaves a bad taste in the mouth to send five associates here to vote this up and comment on the article in the early stages of the post, where five upvotes likely makes a large difference. And if it's straight up sock puppeting, it's simply unacceptable.

EDIT: I take back that one of the early comments seems legit, this account http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=lucianot is also associated with everwrite in some way. http://twitter.com/#!/lucianot/status/114152173767639042

I hate to be the one who makes the drama, but the whole thing seems disingenuous to make all these fluff comments without disclosure and is not beneficial for the community. Imagine if a company with 2000 employees sent an army this way!
What was the first act? Pump tons of $ into companies and never make it past the early adopters...? Outside of S.V. I don't think anyone ever checks in. I never have and I literally don't know anyone who has.
If everyone in tech took the attitude of "let's not bother now, <next big advance> is coming soon" then noone would ever build anything.

Yes, Raspberry Pi is cool and you will probably be able to do this with it some day. In fact, there are a billion platform alternatives available right now (or soon) at various price points. Albeit not with the internet-punter coverage that the Pi has (deservedly) gotten.

However, krohling is doing this with an Arduino right now and it looks to work just fine.
Even 0 indexed, 2^10 patents is still 1024 patents.
It took me like a month? I really don't know lol. I'm not that good of a designer so I was shocked when I read your comment. Thanks!
On the other hand, lets say you purchased a rolling series of put options (i.e., buy one in Jan 1997, Jun 1997, Jan 1998, June 1998) on a broad assortment of tech stocks.

You'd have made a killing. This is the strategy that Burry and others took while shorting the housing bubble.

The only way this strategy would fail is if the downturn is slow and gradual (which is not characteristic of a bubble).
Social media can't provide what social change has always required.
Yes, the geolocation API can act weird sometimes :( try to clear you cache or try a different browser. You can alway enter your location manually (not the same but it's something). I'm sorry if the app didn't worked for you :(
Cool post, and I agree. My question is probably not geared toward you, but the audience:

Why can't we just celebrate the fact that Google built something new instead of beat it to death with criticisms of how it isn't perfect or a game changer, etc?

I like new tech and new products to play with, whether they come from YC, Google, or the hacker down the street.
Thanks for the suggestions! As I said, this is an experiment and I will continue to change and add new things. So stay tuned!
How To Be Successful in Business
I don't like these ideas Gruber and friends are repeating and repeating again. In the article, it is carved in marble: "the advantages that come from NOT allowing you to do so many [things]". The reasoning behind is that Steve Jobs or other said genius should be choosing for you what you are "allowed" to do.

It feels awfully 1984 for me.

I live in China and I can tell you it is painfull, sometime, when someone else chooses for you what you are allowed to do. I'm reading "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance", and heck, this guy is right, you have those losers who fear and get used by technology, and the other guys who don't fear and use technology.

The cynic (borderline totalitarian) approach is to say that people should be divided between those clever hacker who have control and the rest, which should not be given "too much" control, because their are not clever enough, or don't need it, or what.

The humanist (democratic, cf "Enlightment") is the opposite: human being are clever, and should be given control on their life, on their tools, should be given choices, etc.

It seems to me that too many people have forgotten the we gather here, on HN, on the free, interesting and open parts of the Internet, because we like to control our shit, and ALSO we prefer the common people to be educated and control their shit. Especially when it come to so personal matters as their own files.

Sorry for the rant. I hope I'm mistaking, but from my recent reading of HN I feel there is a progressive shift toward more "Gruberness" which is questionable in its hypothesis and conclusions.

Would the founders of a startup who are willing to pivot as needed get something lower than the highest possible grit score?
You need a corporate resolution authorizing you to perform financial actions on behalf of the company, and this needs signed by officers of the company (which may also be you) and stamped with the company seal. There are plenty of examples online.

Take this, along with copies of your articles of incorporation and government issued photo id, to a bank of your choice and you're all set. To speed things up you may want to call ahead and make an appointment with whoever deals with new business accounts at the branch.
If you company has an official policy regarding side projects, start there. If you have email from your previous boss stating his POV, make sure you don't lose it. Then, go to HR or your new boss with a hypothetical. As always, make sure you don't co-mingle your side project with work.

Fred Wilson backed Indeed.com launches free resume search
Co-q-10 in the morning, about 12 to 14 hours before your usual/planned bedtime. It helps regulate the brain's chemical waking/sleeping cycle. It is the co-enzyme for melatonin and will increase production of melatonin roughly 12 hours after it is taken (for me, it seemed to work best if I took it about 14 hours before bedtime). In contrast, taking melatonin by itself will not increase production of co-q-10. However, if you have any trouble sleeping in the evening, you can also take a low dose of melatonin about 30 minutes before bedtime.

Co-q-10 is something we tend to be deficient in. If you are deficient, you won't sleep as well. This can help genuinely improve quality of sleep and help your baseline brain chemistry with regards to the waking/sleeping cycle. I have used co-q-10 in the morning combined with melatonin at night to quickly alter my sleep cycle by several hours starting three days or so before the needed change (when I had to get up unusually early or something). It works effectively without the issues caused by caffeine.

Best of luck.
Indeed has been collecting resumes from job seekers for the better part of a year. The resume upload and editing process is pretty slick and adding a publicly available search engine takes it to a whole new level.

I think this product is going to be a great resource for employers and job seekers. Everyone try it out, let us know what you think.

Full Disclosure: I am a software engineer at Indeed, but I didn't work on this project!

I think we are all naturally a bit defensive when the fear of a great competitor leaping out from the shadows is always there - especially for travel startups where something like the Google-ITA deal that has been in the works for so long. The message I got from his article actually somewhat agrees with the question you posed: there can be sufficient room for both of them in the space and as a community we should resist being alarmist about others encroaching on what we do; in fact it can be a really good thing.
Well, I like it. Especially since it looks like it would be more touch-friendly (iPad).
I honestly don't care all that much about the exact legal demarcation. What matters most to me is the attitude the idea implies.
The software business is fairly unique in that there are companies that are both young and wealthy. If Tesla ever starting making serious profits, I think the incumbents would sue for a pound of flesh.

The auto industry does enforce their intellectual property. Toyota and Denso are very serious about enforcing the IP on their hybrid drivetrain. Ford and Nissan license the tech, and no one else has developed a CVT + continuously variable assist hybrid setup like Denso/Toyota.

I don't think the auto industry would ever take each other to court over trivial patents, for the same reason Microsoft /Apple/IBM don't go to war. If Tesla does make billions in profits, I think the we will see "horn on stick" and "button on steering wheel" patents being enforced.

I think checking in could make sense as a part of something like life analytics. Maybe a mint.com for your life, where you check in (and perhaps check out) of places you go daily or weekly. You get a dashboard of how much time you've spent in each place and this allows you to recalibrate habits that have built up over time.

Do I really want to spend that much time grocery shopping? Maybe a delivery service is for me. Am I spending enough time exercising? Does my girlfriend dominate my life too much? There do seem to be possibilities beyond just "this is where I am now!"

The issue is not so much how much cpu time the regex evaluation takes up, it's the I/O time of loading every byte of every page we've crawled.

That being said, re2 does look pretty cool... having a guarantee that nothing in an re can blow up is pretty nice, on top of the overall speed improvement.

Then why even put Metro on if they are striving for only half a level of perfection? Why not wait until they've got it solid before releasing?

What would make me very pleased is if they delayed 6 months to get it right rather than rush it out.
It is funny that most people in software have no fucking clue about software...all they have is their IDEAAAa...and they think they own > 70% because of their idea.

I had a potential co-founder ask me once...Dont you think 30% is a lot for just making it..I stuck to a diplomatic answer but I wish I had told him something like.."No you retard....70% is a lot for just sitting on your couch and reading fucking techcrunch all the time".

Bottomline is if you cant code you are not invited to the party!

Training the Immune System to Kill Cancer
It can be used with MVC, but the problem is MVC is still C# centric - as in the scaffolding bits that it generates are C# (or VB).

There's also the question of Razor supporting F#, which is not yet there. I remember somebody spiking some code for that, not sure if it's usable.

You can still write all your controllers in F#; but if your front-end is C#(razor), and if your data access is in L2S or EF, then F# feels like added baggage. Still could be useful in some occasions.

Yup, I even wrote a framework to convert F# to javascript which allowed me to create a new (really powerful) validation provider for MVC. Sadly I haven't had a real world project that fit it well, so it's kind of gone by the wayside.

It's fairly straight forward to use with MVC, though it's less than ideal. You basically need to have a C# MVC project that referneces your F# projects (these would contain your controllers etc.)
