I was wondering about this. I've been trialing a standing desk - the best part is if you are thinking about a problem you tend to walk, where as if you're sitting down you just tilt your head to the side.

But after 4 hours or so I find I get a sore back. I've been "mixin it up"... standing for an hour, sitting for a couple of hours. Or sitting in the morning, standing after lunch... so far it feels pretty good, but I'm keeping some (quite subjective) stats to check out how it goes in the longer term.

I've never really understood this line as applied to Apple, since I don't recall them dropping prices after the initial release. If they did I'd expect a "wait two months for the prices to drop" meme, but I've never heard that recommendation.

Yeah, but his point is that there's a difference between cool, rock-star luxury and stuffy, old, bourgeois luxury, and he thinks the iPhone is moving towards the 2nd category. The cool kids don't care about Hermès handbags either, their moms do. OTOH, it could be more of a wish of his that this would happen, as it's one of the few angles they can attack the iPhone.

I used to want a chording, one-handed keyboard with a strap. I thought that that combined with a PDA (this was a few years ago) would be great for walking and working.

But I probably would have walked in front of a bus so it is just as well I never had one.
This is great stuff. This could end up like a wikipedia for web developers. I've been wanting to do something like this for myself. With all the options available out there, its much easier to process when everything is organized.

Interesting that google had this as an internal webpage. I wonder what other really useful tools companies use that could benefit us if it were public.
This sounds very interesting. Would it be possible to install the linux client on a cheap VPS to get your own "cloud" storage?
Sure. And compared to 250 years ago even the poorest of the poor in the US is a veritable king in material wealth. Who then could have green vegetables in the middle of a snowy winter, yet now anyone can buy canned vegetables.

My point is that the things you talk about occur because it's cheap. Can you find a house these days without complete plumbing? 15 years ago I helped a friend buy a used car for $600, which he could afford on US $11,000 per year as a graduate student.

Oddly enough, people with money don't a dishwasher or complete kitchen, because they can eat out. Money gives options.

In any case, you and the previous poster state that the definition of poverty used in the census is variable. The aforelinked definition is one of two definitions of poverty used by the US, specifically, this is the one used to determine who can participate in assistance programs. You can see that it's defined by the CPI, with no way to be flexible about it, unless a given State wants to raise it by at most 25%.

This is because the US definition is, contrary to with you both say, an absolute definition. Quoting from Wikipedia:

Since the 1960s, the United States Government has defined poverty in absolute terms. When the Johnson administration declared "war on poverty" in 1964, it chose an absolute measure. The "absolute poverty line" is the threshold below which families or individuals are considered to be lacking the resources to meet the basic needs for healthy living; having insufficient income to provide the food, shelter and clothing needed to preserve health.

This in turn is based on the CPI, and aside from a few minor changes "the U.S. government's approach to measuring poverty has remained static for the past forty years."

In other words, you and the previous poster are incorrect.
I agree, our culture's unhealthiness is such that no incremental improvement in our lifestyle can make us incrementally healthier.
I don't know. I don't think I've ever had has much disposable income as I did as a single 21 year old, working my first full time job and living in a tiny apartment.

And either way. We're talking about consumer level mobile phones, not a car. The actual price difference between a mid range HTC phone and a top of the line iPhone is pretty tiny all things considered. If you can afford on, you can probably stretch to afford the other if you really wanted to.

How can an incremental improvement in our lifestyle NOT make us incrementally healthier?
On my own anecdotal evidence, I have to say he's wrong. I haven't been out of school for very long, still live in a college town, and have friends in college, and I can tell you that they are (generally) carrying Android devices for a small handful of reasons, none of which has to do with their cool factor:

1) It was subsidized cheaply on their family plan.

2) They have a non-AT&T carrier (or bought before the iPhone was on Verizon)

3) Their parents bought it for them

4) They have some other non-Apple bias (iPhone isn't open, Macs suck, etc.)

Among those that fall into the first three categories, most actively want an iPhone. We'll know when the iPhone has lost its cool status the same way we knew the BlackBerry had: when Taylor Swift, et. al. start carrying Droids en masse.
Although BSD's are never cool but this one is way better then the old one.

For traditional cubicles and traditional desks (i.e. no keyboard tray, no monitor stand), this doesn't happen. I get the impression that they're talking about that kind of situation. But if they are, then the sit scenario has issues they're failing to address. I agree, who uses a standing desk but has the monitor at the same level as the keyboard/mouse? That's just irrational.

Happy standing desk user (well, customizable IKEA bookshelf, LOL).

Craigslist claims eBay stole confidential information to start competing site
The problem is if me and Joe use Dropbox for personal use, and then we come up with a great startup idea and want to start hacking on it. On like day 5 of working on this idea, you'll want to start sharing/saving some PDFs or excel sheets or something. Ideally you'd be able to create a new Dropbox for this project and run two clients on your machine, one for your personal Dropbox and one for your new project Dropbox, and Joe can do the same.

But because you can't run two clients at once, you can't do this. You can create "Personal" and "Project" folders in your existing Dropbox and sync to different machines, but Joe now needs to use your Dropbox account and he can't sync his personal account. Or you both use the web client, except you're basically using FreeDrive from 1999. Or you use an entirely different file sharing service like ZumoDrive, which is kind of silly.

I get that multi-client support for Dropbox is probably a niche feature and will probably lead to jerks like me using 5 accounts instead of 1, so they don't do it. And there are workarounds like Dropboxen that allow me to sort of have multiple Dropbox instances running on my machine if I have multiple user accounts. But man it'd be nice if multiple Dropbox instances running was a native feature instead of having the same, "Ok, I filled out the Articles of Organization and put them in my Dropbox so just refer to our filing number from there."; "Why don't you put them in MY Dropbox and YOU just refer it from there?" conversation with Joe.

I've been wondering about something similar myself - do you walk the entire time you're working? If so, do you use a combination of a standing desk and a treadmill, or something similar? Do you find it tiring to do for 7-8 hours, and does it give you any other problems, e.g. with your feet?
Looks like they've finally realised that few people read what's on the BSOD so there's no point in displaying it.

It's been said before, but I firmly subscribe to "You don't 'get'/ find/ hire great developers, you earn them." Make sure you leave enough room for exciting projects, give your developers exposure (at least those who want it) and let them present at meetups, conferences, ...
Be an active member of your community (throw parties, support hackathons, ...) to raise the reputation of your startup and the want-to-work-there-factor along with it - but only get involved with aspects that relate to your business/ industry and keep it honest.

+1 for involving developers in the decision making. Also, free lunch, offsites, etc. probably also do their part.

With first job yes, but when you're at school? I find that most younger people I know do have android phones. Some have iPhones and just because it's more expensive it's a luxury item. The entry-level android phones are pretty competitive to iphone, they are a lot cheaper and provide almost the same functionality. Having and android phone also rhymes a little better with the pirate stance, as buying apps is not as interesting for kids as buying beer when free apps can be had online. I would think that the entry level android phones are most popular, but cannot back that up with stats though.

True.

I thought about that in the wrong way.

What I really meant is it's just easier to not do evil. You can look at something and say "that's evil, so I won't do it". Sure, sometimes that can cause you hardship, but you deal with it. Maybe evil is an uncountable, but you don't need to count it. You just passively avoid options that are evil.

Doing good is harder. You have to actively seek out and choose good things to do from a huge set. That means attempting to enumerate at least part of that set. You have to figure out how to actually do those things. As a public corporation, you have to figure out how to do things and spin it as being in the company's best interests.

I don't know if it's related to American culture as such.

Comparing to others is a good algorithm for a group environment when resources are scarce (if you don't do it, you get screwed and die).

Problem is we're no longer living in an environment where resources are scarce, but our brains haven't been rewired.

Our instincts still want to solve the "am I getting my fair share" problem, when the logical problem to solve is "how do I spend a minimal amount of boring time on getting enough resources to live comfortably".

You cant un-wire the "am I getting my fair share" algorithm, but whenever it pops up you can use that as a trigger to consider the relevant problem instead. "Could I be working less, get paid more for the same work or get to work on something more fun for the same money?"

Once you start thinking of work as money paid per boring hour, then compensation takes on a different perspective. The solution to the money problem may be to work for a start-up (high variance, high EV, potentially low amount of boring hours, or high amount, depending on the startup:)), a big company that lets you work on interesting problems (less variance, low amount of boring hours), working in banking (high amount of boring hours, high return) or whatever else you think is an optimal solution for you, but at least you realise that it is about how you optimise for the problem that matters, not what someone else comes out with compensation-wise (he may be trading a high amount of boring hours for high compensation, or he may have gotten lucky on a high variance route).
By lowering the price, you increase the number of people who find it within their expected value calculation.

By increasing the number of customers, you increase the number of data points.

Increasing number of data points, if the product is good, will increase both confidence and expected value. (The latter because more people are likely to contact the data.)

The spread of information will be geometric.

The customer base will, at best, build quickly from a low base.

However, the longer the low base period lasts, the greater the risk that some other application steals priority, ending the process.

Lower prices. Market bomb. Raise prices once saturation assures that you build quickly from a medium base. Do this transparently so people don't bad mouth you, biasing future information.

Ask HN: Should we be worried about the retention figures for our social app?
Mixpanel says that the retention rate for one of the key activities in our web app (obviously this is a throwaway account) is between 20-30% week-over-week. Is this is a good benchmark?<p>We have a few hundred users and we've been using Mixpanel for about 6 weeks now, so is this even statistically significant? Mixpanel seems to indicate that retention rates below 20% are poor (because they mark it as red) - but should we be worried?<p>What are typical retention rates that a social product should look to achieve?
