I don't have any Forth background, but have written a significant amount of Factor code during the last year. I haven't really run into things that seem painful or complicated to express in what I hope to be idiomatic Factor. The project I've been working on is an interactive game, so it's neither entirely trivial nor something that a concatenative language is obviously a particularly good fit for.

The main difference from Forth are the ubiquitous quotations, Factor's equivalents of a lambda expression, which make the idiom clean and quite like a functional language. For example, Factor's `if` conditional isn't a macro like the Forth one, it's just a regular word that takes a truth value and two quotations, and then calls either the first or the second quotation based on the truth value. There are also many combinator words like `bi` or `cleave` that operate on the quotations that don't have Forth equivalents as far as I know. A good deal of being able to write idiomatic Factor is being able to use the standard combinators.

For tricky things like complex equations that aren't easy to express in pure stack manipulation Factor has the local variable library, which allows easy repeated referencing of the inputs, so doing something like a closed form solution of a quadratic equation can be done without incomprehensible stack acrobatics.

The work-flow is a bit tricky though. I like setting up automated machinery running from the command line, and Factor likes to live in an image, SmallTalk style. I guess the idea is to just write the support machinery in Factor as well, and use the Factor REPL as the interactive workflow control site and short Factor scripts for automated command-line stuff.
Lucas ever had decency? The only reason his movies were ever popular is because he wasn't allowed to do anything he wanted.
My experience is that the people who jerk you around with contracts are usually bad payers. If it's a bad contract then the prospect of income is very uncertain.

Business ultimately relies in trust, if they give you a poor contract then it is a strong reason not to trust them over anything.

Feynman's also the one quoted as playing with the idea of what it would be like if 3 + 1 spacetime was instead 2 + 2 (i.e. 2-D space, 2-D time).
There are two factors in that thread. First, most companies never achieve a meaningfully successful exit (so those reports will be "my options amounted to nothing" and people will freely share that). Second, in the cases where they did, the employees who did well are somewhat less likely to be reading HN and (I surmise) vastly less likely to talk about it.

I had typed up my experiences over three exits in that thread, posted it and deleted it a few minutes later as it didn't add enough to the discussion relative to what it revealed about me.

I did that by email for some years now: When I find an interesting project that I can't do myself I forward it to fellow freelancers, and I recommend my friends to potential clients. There's nothing in it for me in the short term, but I believe that this behaviour (if everybody does it) helps the developer community in the region where I live, so I might benefit in the long run. This website formalizes that process, so I think it is a really good idea.

The design needs a lot of improvement, though.
Visibility is key. Not only that but being visible implies good communication skills, something which isn't exactly abundant in programmers.
From a production viewpoint, that's certainly possible for several sectors. World agriculture produces enough food that every human could have a 2700 calorie diet, which is excessive for sedentary occupations.

Simplicity of code, and the existence of hooks to add orthogonal functionality. Not all of programming is picking an optimal data structure and then implementing it; sometimes, it involves planning for maintenance and change.

I think that's closer to being true for Social Security than Medicare. In particular, stuff like Medicare Part D is providing very expensive benefits for baby boomers which wasn't part of the original understanding of what they were paying for (and they haven't retroactively kicked in higher payroll taxes to make up for the cost).

That would be nice! Though I'm a bit skeptical. Big business has most of the tools at the moment and their trend is to want to get more and pay less (i.e. more hours for less pay).
I've seen a handful of companies with remote employees adopt a different policy. Essentially, they pay you an average salary by hot-market standards and don't adjust downwards. So, if you live in an expensive city (SF, NY, TK, LO) you are paid a fair market wage in those cities. If you live in a cheaper area, than lucky you.

Personally, I prefer this. Maybe because I tend to like smaller and less hip cities. But it keeps things simpler for the company, and it means that, as an employee, you have a pretty significant say in, what we can call, your net income.

I don't want to make the sort of assumptions about your life required to suggest this observation necessarily applies to you personally, but:

if 'socializing' is perceived as simply a 'distraction' from a litany of minor complaints about paid employment, its quite possible the root cause of unhappiness lies not in the job but in a lack of compensatory enjoyment of social and leisure situations outside the workplace.

The benefits need to be very specific, otherwise they are meaningless. If your product gives me happiness, time and meaning, you could be selling a book on meditation or a digital watch.

I think the obvious thing to do is to work in a formal office space where goofing off is judged. The issue with doing freelance work is that unless you are very disciplined, working from home enables you to take naps, cook, masturbate, watch TV where workspace simply eliminates all of that.

Set a number of hours to work in a workspace and stick to it. Workspaces are not designed for anything but work.. so simply don't check HN, don't watch videos etc. etc.

Good work space would be a formal office (I don't think coworking spaces really do that and DEFINITELY not coffee shops). Ideally, get some a work buddy to do it with you and ensure cross-judgement.

That's open to debate. Inequalities of income distribution are pretty visible anyway: whether discussion of the topic exacerbates people's unhappiness with the situation depends whether discussion of the topic helps them reconcile themselves to the normality of being unable to keep up with the Joneses, or whether it makes them feel angrier and more impotent than they actually are.
To use Blank's framework I suppose business development carries on the customer development role assuming a feedback channel to product development is in place. This is especially true for enterprise business development where a sale can be a 2-12 month, detailed discussion about needs.

However, I note you don't really mention customer development as something you did in your original post. It sounds like you basically did sales, which though a huge job is in Blank-land something that doesn't take the customer's feedback and use it to iterate the product itself. So, maybe you need to rephase what you did if you did what Blank calls customer development.

International support will come over time. However Noca is more like a better alternative to Authorize.net. Paypal in shopping cart takes the Consumer away from Merchant site and requires the Consumer to have an account i.e. sign-up. Even with Paypal's high userbase only 1 out of 3 or 4 users in the US have an active Paypal account. Not a good idea to potentially loose majority of Payors/Buyers simply 'cause they don't have Paypal accounts

Imagine you have a paying customer who really loves your product and who is riding the elevator with a friend. What would your customer tell his friend during this brief ride to convince him to try out your product? Write down the stuff and use it as a foundation for your copy writing.

Pretend you are a consumer who is doing a comparison between you and your competitors. Write down the qualities that all the products share and qualities that your competitors boost about in a comparison table. Use this as an the groundwork for writing your landing page copy.

Take a look at what your competitors are saying. Chances are that they have already done a lot of the research work for you, this especially true if they have deeper pockets than you.

Use Google adwords to figure out which words or phrases interest people the most.

Start a/b testing right now. Google's Website Optimizer is free, Visual Website Optimizer is a praised alternative.

Demonstrate it, showcase it. If you suspect that your customers might have trouble understanding your product, clearly demonstrate its basic usage in a video that you display on the landing page. If possible, showcase how other customers are using your product.
I think you only have to do this if you get a different position within Google.
So how is this going to work? Pick the highest salary found in the area and add X, where X is a little? I never found the numbers from sites such as 'salary.com' or 'glassdoor' to be very reliable as it always 'depends'.

They've been hesitant to call it an "interview", but rather a "one on one". Whatever it is, everyone will talk to Google before being given an offer of employment. Inevitably, some jobs will be lost in the transition.

Even shares on "gross profit" can fail: it can be beneficial for the publisher to give away the product for free. I've had this happen to a J2ME app, which the publisher gave away for free in exchange for advertising (they were building presence and reputation by this).

Another trick seems to be bundling - "buy this collection of things and you get thing x for free". So profits for selling thing x would be zero.

I am sure there are many more tricks like this...
At certain times in certain industries, it definitely pays to be brazen and shameless, particularly with your rates and aspirations. I never was either but am becoming more so after a great deal of hindsight :-)
The Alternative to Failure
It is indeed a bit of a fuzzy process. We look at stuff together (ranges from salary.com, other similar job postings), then we agree on what's "a little better than the average". Maybe it means picking 3/4 point in the range...in general, I have found that people have a number in mind that would make them happy...it's a matter of finding it out and making sure it fits within the policy...it's easier to do than to explain. :) So far, those one-on-one where we decide the new level have been fairly easy meetings.
Just read Dan Pink's Drive where this idea comes to fruition and it makes complete sense (especially in my own life). From Drive[1]:

Instead of paying employees the wages that supply and demand would have predicted, they gave their workers a little more. It wasn't because they were stupid. It was because they were savvy. Paying great people a little more than the market demands, Akerlof and Yellen found, could attract better talent, reduce turnover and boost productivity and morale.

Highly recommend reading Pink's book.

So an employee that lives in X makes less than an employee who lives in Y for the same amount of work... I don't see how that's fair, since I would be getting paid $1000/mo by those standards. Conversely, I would get a raise of an order of magnitude if I wanted to up and move to, say, New York.
Startup accelerators and Internet bubbles
Ask HN:Do you go back and change your code or let it be.
After you learn better ways of implementing something do you go back and change it or let it be and make sure you do it the right way in the future.?

I ask this because I have this almost OCD urge to go back and change everything to perfection(or my idea of perfection at current!!).

EDIT: Added personal note.
> I agree that in many cases their hiring processes are broken, but think that it doesn't matter because companies do not care about anime. It is utterly irrelevant to them. Knowledge of anime does not make you more efficient at filling out TPS reports.

I think it is both. The education system is broken, and has been for a long time. Degrees in Sociology and Communications have always been useless knowledge. The economic downturn has only brought that fact to the attention of people. At the same time employers are requiring job applicants have college degrees--any degree--for jobs that absolutely do not require degrees. I feel sorry for the people who got Business degrees, it was probably a wise choice when they started college, but by they time they graduated no one wanted to hire people with Business degrees.

I know one YC startup that requires the receptionists to have a college degrees, and they only pay them $12/hour in San Francisco, which frankly is not a living wage in SF. The letter "Serving people drinks was more rewarding" sounds a lot like the non-techie people I know. Get a Masters in Business Administration, think you did everything right with your 4.0 GPA. Then you graduate and can't find work. Maybe take a job in retail. After job hunting for a year you take that receptionist position, because hey, there's growth opportunity, which is better than retail. But it turns out there is no opportunity, the predatory management won't give raises because in this economy they can just fire you and hire another college grad at $12/hour.

Education has failed because they don't teach useful skills, yet they tell students that they are useful throughout their education. HR has failed because they haven't figured out how to find that diamond in the rough without putting up arbitrary requirements.
>I feel sorry for people that go to stores to buy things. What a waste of time and money.

When I want something I often want it right now. Not next week, not even tomorrow. As soon as physically possible and I am willing to pay extra for that convenience.

I also like to handle mechanical before I buy it. Seeing a video of someone else handling it isn't always enough.
A common trap: We want amazing programmers, and we pay them slightly better than average.

I'm good at what I do, and I aim for more than "a little better than someone with your same job in your geographical area."

Some of the most amazing consultants I know charge far above their local market average. And I'm always happy to write them checks, because they're amazing programmers, and they would be a steal at 5 times the typical market rate.
HOOOOOOOLLLLYYY sh!!!!!tttt, I was designing the exact same thing right now. OMG, I can not believe ..I'm serious someone is watching my screen...
The underlying theme of the millennial generation is a sense of entitlement.

A lot of people live under the illusion that their college degree is an accurate indicator of their intelligence and entitles them to enormous sums of money. Well, gee? How is that supposed to work out for every one? Were you one of the smart guys back in primary school? Or where you merely one of the average students? Why do you think that with 24 years of age you should earn 100'000 a year?

And on the other end of the spectrum, if they don't have a degree many people (rightly?) ask themselves why they should work so hard for so little. There is no respect for manual labor any more. The dream that corporate America, Gossip Girl and MTV is one of fast money, selfishness and greed.

With our formula, the job category to compare these people with would be "amazing consultants", not average consultant. In other words, these people are very senior. No?

I don't think that's fair, not everyone can move easily (family etc).
Right (I blame 1AM posting for my error), but counting on $DISTRICT_JUDGE to bring down the hammer is equally over-optimistic. If one can barely get a judge to wade in on "a clearly fraudulent document was submitted to your court" when it undermines a foreclosure, I'm pessimistic about the idea that $GUESS is going to be show-stopping.
The average wage where I live now is shockingly low - and that's after coming from a somewhat depressed former mill town. I moved here though because it's absolutely stunning and my life will be immeasurably better because of it (once I finish this damn never-ending contract and get some free time at least!).

I'd hate to have to take a giant pay cut just for wanting to actually enjoy my life. If anything my productivity and quality of work has gone up. Pay me less for that and I'm off!

I'm always skeptical of people who contend that teenagers/children are happier without seemingly any data other than their personal rose-colored memories.

I personally have grown happier every year since age 6 or so (prior to that I don't remember, but I imagine I was the typical bipolar child joyous at one second and in the depths of despair the next). Mainly because of increased personal autonomy, long term goal fulfillment, and knowledge/experience increase.
Better than MTV. Can you upvote/downvote playlist items (so it becomes a HN for music), and have a hover somewhere to show track name, artist and artist website link (maybe with a referrer link so you earn money when someone buys from that artist)?
