I'm a Web/Mobile Product Manager (did this in the Bay Area for 4 years) turned MBA student with a strong desire to start my own startup.

To copy and paste from my linkedin:
I am an untraditional MBA student.

I find it difficult to digest traditional/big corporate ways of thinking and because of that I spend most of my time outside of class helping Austin entrepreneurs refine and develop their businesses: as of Sept 2011, I am working at two different startups as well as trying to launch two businesses of my own and help another person launch theirs. Additionally, I advise 19 first year MBA students as they begin their entrepreneurial journey.

With that said, I still make sure to do all my work as I do have a responsibility to my group members who may take getting an MBA more seriously than I do.

In short - I hustle. I do work.

Expected to graduate in May 2012

Focus: Technology, Entrepreneurship, Social Enterprise, Lean Startups

Because of my experience as a product manager I actually do have experience working with developers, so a lot of the advice I've been given here rings true - but starting a company with someone such as yourself is way different. I actually know one tech person whose philosophy is to just not work with business people as he thinks he can do everything himself - more power to him.

Thus, my inquiry.

It's funny you bring up marriage. I was debating with someone the other day who you have to trust more - your business partner/co-founder or your spouse. Either or, both can screw you. Haha.

I think that right now though, conventional "wisdom" says to use an ORM for every web app.

I like to see people push back on that; let's at least get to a state where we can consider dropping it from a project.

Used as only one point of data you're right it's not reliable. False negatives and false positives.

But used in conjunction with other info that has been
collected it certainly adds to the picture in coming
to a conclusion.

Also keep in mind that in this particular case he was

I do this trick with people to try to guess their name. I have them name three possible names with one the real name. If you do that enough you will begin to pick up on mannerisms when someone is saying their real name vs. a made up name. Of course it only normally works the first time and never if they know how to avoid tipping me off.
This is very good to know... Evincarofautumn, do you think most people similar to you feel this way?

This is completely off topic, but, as far as I can tell they used Kickstarter in place of ticket sales.

Is that not the case?
Or Firefox (old version, though).
Agree. kickstarter will play this as "nothing to see here move along".

But the truth is several well publicized frauds that happen could would be great publicity for the site. Especially something that lands on the nightly news or Nytimes.

I don't understand the benefit of using separate windows for this type of media. Wouldn't layered DOM elements be easier and less annoying? Do the windows add to the wow factor somehow?

As a counterpoint to the various people arguing that we shouldn't see this, that you shouldn't watch the video, etc., I want to argue that the modern US aversion to contemplating death has become pathological. Death is the one unavoidable fact about life, the only thing you are guaranteed to do, and the sooner and more deeply a person understands that, the better. It's difficult, it's unpleasant, but it's necessary.

Ten of the traditional forty subjects of Buddhist meditation are the asubha, the "repulsive subjects", corpses in different states. Meditating on these is intended to help you come to terms with your own mortal nature, and to prevent you from coming to worship things of the body as if they deserved it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamma%E1%B9%AD%E1%B9%ADh%C4%81n...

In many Buddhist areas of the world, you can buy sets of cards with images of all forty, to be used as a meditation aid. (It's easier to hold your attention on a subject when you're looking at a picture of it.) Imagine the righteous indignation of the preserve-your-ignorance squad here if such a thing were to be displayed.

Hi! Author of the post here. Much as I'm happy to have this go around again, this is actually a dupe, and has been very extensively discussed on HN before:

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2657745

The reason it has a different URL now is a long story: my hosting provider had a meltdown and I was less than religious about backups for my personal blog (oh, the shame!) so I lost timestamp information on this and a few other posts, as well as all the original comments. So it looks like I posted this a month ago, but it's actually more than 3 months old.

Anyway, feel free to argue about this all over again -- it's new to you. I just felt I'd post so nobody who remembers this the first time around thinks I'm intentionally trying to game HN.
I'm not sure if ORMs are an anti-pattern
Very cool! Helps turn a one-way learning experience into a dynamic one.
Cpython lists are self-resizing arrays IIRC. That makes lookups O(1), insert / remove at the end O(1) amortized, insert / remove anywhere else O(n). In short: append, extend and pop methods are efficient.
Fashion Tips From A Graphic T Wearer
Breaking out the old band tee shirt or going on in a favorite slogan graphic t is a cute way to be comfortable on the go. We all have those tees laying around that might not seem very refined, but they can be a look all their own. Bring outfits together with a few great accessories and the perfect shoes to look laid-back, rather than sloppy.

The fit of the tee is important in creating an attractive silhouette. Baby-doll tees look adorable on all frames and show off curves. The cap sleeves make the shoulders look small and dainty. Hip-hugging jeans are great with a baby-doll tee, as the whole figure is streamlined and tucked in. Relaxed-fit jeans and boyfriend jeans are even better, and create a relaxed, understated style and can balance the look of a tight tee.
If you care, I have responded here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2996708 Sorry that it has been so long..

Just a warning: I'm the same age and lack of adequate sleep came back to bit me hard last semester. (Getting about 4.5-7 hours of sleep every day, working out a lot, school, programming). It took me a long time to recover from some sickness and that required some sleeping - now things are so much easier / faster than before. The difference is incredible in terms of focus and work done. Now I'm getting about 6.5-8.5 hours of sleep, and it's much better. I still need to be better in terms of going to sleep, but going to sleep at 10:30-11:30 and waking up at 6-7 isn't bad at all.

I think I have the potential to become a good front-end developer. Thanks!
I started learning html/css/javascript by viewing the source of websites, copying/pasting each file into notepadd++ and then saving each one in a desktop folder.

From there I changed the paths so the style.css pointed to its location in the folder. I'd do the same thing for any .js scripts. After getting it running locally I would deconstruct the site (remove and add back various pieces of code) to witness how one thing relates to another.

I myself, need to jump on frameworks. I'm too stuck in my comfort zone of design and front-end skills.

I don't think that it is entirely safe to say epigenetics are inconsequential for Animals. DNA methylation is definitely important to development w/in a single organism, and I think it is still unclear how important it is to heredity.

On a side note:
I am a biochem student w/ an interest in programming.. HN has been really helped me to learn _what_ to learn about computer science. I love when I see good discussion of biology here, but I wish there was a similar online community for molecular biology / genetics. Anyone have any suggestions?
I just completed it using Firefox 6 on Windows. So it definitely works, and I find it a bit tiresome the way they keep pushing Chrome on me when they're supposed to be supporting open standards...
I also share this stoicism, and have a good friend who is the complete opposite.

I like that this thread both supports people like us, but also reminds that it has a real effect on communication with others. I like how you put it, it's like we need to learn to speak their language to keep communicating.

The burden is on us, because our natural state is to not communicate in the ways they are used to.

My friend has come to understand me and now knows how to read and question me to pull what he wants out, but I do think that many more people are like him than you or I.
The comments in his code are reminiscent of programming by contract (an idea I believe Djikstra himself was fond of). In Go the types of the interfaces are statically checked, which is good (in Python or Ruby, this isn't the case), but the contract the interface represents has to remain in comments and unit tests.

It would be nice to be able to specify tests that every implementor of the Heap interface must pass?
I did that for most of a 4 month period and several other smaller stretches about 15 years ago. It worked great for me at a time.

As I've gotten older, it's become easy to fall asleep and wake up when I want to. Two things are critical to that:

1) no screen time in the 2 hours before bed. No TV, no computer. The only exception is reading books on my phone in night mode at the lowest setting.

2) no caffeine except for small amounts of chocolate.

My wife teases me because I can fall asleep in under a minute, and taking more than 10 minutes to fall asleep is actually one of the signs of a sleep disorder. (I don't have any of the other signs). It's not normal, but no TV or computer at night and no caffeine are not normal, either.
Thanks for this. I've also consciously tried to improve my voice, especially in the context of story telling. I just got tired of people getting bored when I talked and I started looking at what I could do to improve the experience for others.

While its nice to know many others in this thread and the article experience the same personality traits, I think its important for us not to use that as an excuse not to communicate better with others!
How do you reconcile this with the observation that the most confused people are the ones who understand the most? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2931518
As others have pointed out you have a lot of work to do on your own site. Re-size the browser on your desktop an see if you notice anything that strikes you as odd. Hint: your design breaks apart. Mobile phones have a small screen so you must be able to re-size it seamlessly, before you can sell a web to mobile solution .
That's a possibility. I think it's all about relationship management, and talking through it thoroughly.
Back then, it was code, the streets, or the pit. That is, if you didn't get eaten by a bear. You quickly learned to fix your problems yourself, because you had to.

We have decided for you that this size is perfect. And no scrolling to see the words that run off the edge of the screen.") are...well, problems.

The crucial thing is that students can now give some feedback - if it turns out that having students more confused improves their learning, then professors can purposefully drive the red line higher. As PG has said, you improve what you measure. Professors have a powerful way to measure confusion now.

Lots of unnecessarily harsh comments for what could be a cool idea.

He's doing a "Show HN" to get some feedback. Maybe we could all be a bit more constructive? Calling somebody's work a "joke" or an april fools prank isn't really all that nice. There's plenty of other places than HN I can go to watch somebody's work get needlessly trashed.

I agree his stuff needs work, but I bet all of our projects (for those that have actually made something) needs some level of work.

The vitriol here is kinda toxic, take a chill pill people.
I'll add that I'm always learning new dimensions of voice training. I recently became a radio amateur and found there's a whole art to speaking clearly on FM and SSB radio. A good net control operator or phone contester never has to say a call sign twice because his enunciation was bad.
For those interested in the back story...

Back in the 40-60s(ish) people who are now commonly referred to as "hackers" were getting their start in the MIT Tech Model Rail Road club. They would get together and build model trains and tracks and hack together really neat ideas (neat if you're into trains at least). A lot of these same people were involved in the computer program, as well as general security. Lockpicking was sort of a game between a lot of the students as a way to hack their way into systems, just not in a digital sense. Many of them actually took mail in classes to become certified locksmiths just to get the special tools that were only legally allowed to be sold to locksmiths. In Stephen Levy's "Hackers", there is even a story of how the school bought a new military grade safe to keep components in the computer lab safe from prying eyes, but the installer forgot to leave a key. One of the students that the safe was supposed to keep out was asked to pick the lock, and did so with relative ease.
I meant it both ways, however the second interpretation is really only true under US law. A lot of parties would want a lot of money to license things, how would they pay?

I overlooked the name of the site and went there expecting to read something about people who start religions. It turns out the evangelist metaphor does not hold up very well.
I agree the article is somewhat lacking, imprecise, and questionable. Also, it is not clear what is really new here, except maybe the developed a method to study this with plant clones (so they can look at just the epigenetic variations).

I think DNA methylation is just one type of epigenetics -- literally above the genes -- it can refer to any information encoded on top of nucleic acid base pairs.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epigenetics

Would you say that cultural does not "evolve" because the changes are usually lost within a few generations? Is "evolution" a trademark of classical genetic evolution scholars?

Also, at least according to NOVA on PBS in 2007, methylation epigenetics (which vary from cell to cell in the body) can be modified during one's life and influence inheritance. The NOVA program also claims methylation epigenetics accounts for the difference in phenotypes in identical twins. [edit: grammar]
