Xerox ran these great ads many years ago which simply asked questions like "who invented the laserprinter" followed by Japanese music then "no, it was Xerox" and so on. It ended with the tagline "Xerox. The others can only copy." It's sad that Xerox was able to fund such innovative work but couldn't figure out how to capitalize on it.

In a sense you can view Apple as having been the company that saw Xerox's ideas, figured out what to do with them, and turned them into a series of revolutionary products.

I'm not saying Apple stole Xerox's ideas (far from it -- a whole bunch of their ideas were published in Scientific American and could have been used by anyone to create the Newton, the iPhone, and the iPad).

And it's worth mentioning that Microsoft Word, which along with Excel arguably made Microsoft what it is today, was in essence built on Xerox's ideas about word-processing (Charles Simonyi came to Microsoft from Xerox).

Xerox fermented ideas. Apple (and Microsoft) executed them brilliantly.

My apologies for rambling.

Ask HN: Where can a side-project startup find a side-project designer?
I'm the cofounder of myscribr.com. We're a web app that aggregates your lifestream into a journal-style view, gives you tools to explore and augment that content, and allows you to preserve it in the form of a real, physical, color book. </pitch>

We're 4-people strong, all working on this as a side project. We're going for a slow ramp-up and we're self-funding as long as possible. We have developer, bizdev, support and finance talent, and our codebase is 95% complete. What we're lacking is a designer. In our opinion, this is a product that needs to be design-heavy, something beautiful and touchable.

We'd like to find someone who can act as part of the team, someone who's passionate about our product, involved in our brainstorming sessions and has the occasional burger + beer with us. Someone who would be personally interested in the project, and who'd be open to a combination of equity and cash, or other unconventional compensation arrangements. We're in the valley.

So I turn to you, HN, in my time of need. Is there anywhere a founder can look for a designer like this? Somewhere that freelancers post their interests / availability? We're aware of dribbble and will probably post a freelance gig there, but we're looking for more of a "designer personals" site.
I'm guessing but it could be similar to Square's card case

Shake It Saiyyan (Rascals)
Last november I was sitting around with time on my hands and decided to update my LinkedIn profile. I wrote a long-form, pseudo-essay resume. A week later I got a call from a recruiter who hooked me up with one interview. Another week after that I got called by another recruiter who put me in touch with 12 other companies. I got offers from three of them and I think I would have gotten a fourth if I hadn't accepted one of the first three before getting through the second interview.

I didn't think that my resume was all that special having worked for DC area government contractors my whole career, but everyone was super excited to talk to me and I went to second or third interviews for 11 of the 13 places I spoke with.

So...update your LinkedIn profile and give a lot of data. Get a github account (honestly, I had basically nothing there and still don't, but it's a good thing to be able to point too), and try and get active in some local development groups/message boards/newsgroups.

Good luck!
I understand you're not bashing other languages, I just get tired of these tautologies getting trotted out anytime someone complains about perl so I decided to challenge them.

>The author claims that where most people write C in Perl, his book is an attempt to convince you to write Lisp in Perl.

Wouldn't it be less work to just write Lisp in Lisp?

No kidding. I can't think of a place I'd rather not live in more than NY, with Boston taking second place.

A town center is not a replacement for a centralized shopping area. Town centers usually have high rents, so the stores are small and/or overpriced. They have their purpose, but they are not a replacement.

Corruption. Large cash payouts to Diebold execs. The literal intent to commit treason and rig the USA's presidential elections.

How else can a company capable of making ATMs that don't leak cash create such a laughable amateur attempt at an e-voting machine. Furthermore, even if the creation of these criminally bad products was an accident almost every expert in crypto/security and election theory has stepped up to say that every element of the systems is broken, from the hardware having holes to the goals being impossible even in theory.

If this didn't go high up any single weakness found would have been enough to pull every Diebold voting machine. As is there are more regulations against lawn-darts...

And in 1948 it was British, and captured by Jordan. The Museum was started in 1938 by the British High Commissioner.

So Jordan captured it and it was in turn captured. Jordan has no claim whatsoever - either they recognize captures or they don't. You can't recognize your own captures but not those of others.

I suppose Britain might have a claim.

Nice. I was thinking of 3D stuff, though. That could be sort-of done in software (let user move the camera, estimate motion from images & sensors, compensate images for motion artifacts), but having two or four cameras at corners of the device would be easier, allow for photographing moving objects, etc. (pan iPhone is about as tall as human eye-eye distance, so this should enable non-macro 3D stuff.

I do not think we will stuff like that before we have 3D screens on our iPhones, though.

From the FAQ:

> The base color can also be color matched to virtually
> any color imaginable.
Calling a company an "island of command economics" is really just a harsh way of calling out the overly bureaucratic nature of many larger organizations, but the idea that a perfectly free market exists now or can ever come into existence is really just a fairy tale. The primary purpose of the notion of a perfectly free market is to make it easier for economists to publish theoretic papers and so politicians have economic issues to demagogue.

It might also help to distinguish between the micro-economic and macro-economic issues raised above. While the two are dependent, they tend to approach problems from opposite ends of the transactional chain. Generally, a company's goal is micro-economic (to maximize profits), while governments are more concerned with macro-economic issues like employment and inflation (via fiscal/monetary policy). That said, IMO, the transaction costs are a symptom of the corporate rot that we see when a company rests too much on its laurels.

Your point about the relationship between technology and company formation is also very well taken... it does seem that we are at a tipping point where technology is having a very pronounced impact on business decisions.
Thanks for posting that link, the numbers they discuss are similar to numbers I am familiar with and thus I don't have to make any claims to use them.

So his system cost $51,000 and produces 7500kWh of energy per year. If he were to have set up with this Google Finance system that offers 20 year 11% financing, and assuming 1.25% property tax where he lives (PV panels will increase the value of his home after all) then his monthly payments will be $579.54, or $139,089.86 in payments through August of 2031, with a total of $75.339.86 in interest paid to the finance company Google is investing in. This is a good, safe investment for Google.

For the homeowner, the 7500kwH per year will cost him $750 to buy from the grid at 10 cents a kWh. Instead he will be paying $579.54 * 12 = $6954.48 for the power, nearly ten times as much.

Google's claim that you save money assumes that the cost of electricity will increase so dramatically in the future that the overall cost will be less with solar, not including your cost of financing, and not including any money you might have made from investing your money elsewhere for 20 years, but considering that the average price of electricity between now and 2030 will be more than 92.7 cents per kilowatt hour.

------

Solar PV is fine and sometimes the only choice if you are living completely off the grid, but it comes at a cost, and works best when you massively reduce consumption, switch all interior lights to 12V, realize you can't run high wattage things like microwave ovens or toasters, you'll need a kerosene powered refrigerator, and you have a costly bank of toxic batteries to maintain and periodically replace. I have done this.

For grid connected living if you are interested in going green I would strongly recommend taking a look at these things:

- rooftop solar heater - free hot water, which otherwise is costly to heat

- dry all clothes on clothesline. Don't even own an electric or gas dryer. These use a lot of energy. If living in an area that prohibits line drying, move to an area that permits it or accept that your community does not support green living and perhaps lobby to change things.

- geothermal heat pump if you need conditioned air. This one depends on climate. Electric fans throughout the house are a better option than air conditioners. (Also do note that many estimates of typical household electric use which are used in calculating recommended solar size installations assume that gas heat is used and electricity is not used for heating during winter. This may be true, but the gas heat is an additional part of the total energy cost. With a properly designed geothermal heatpump you reduce your cost of heating significantly compared to either gas or electric.)

- if building from scratch, do a passive solar design. Properly done (not easy to find those who can do this), you can have zero costs for heating and cooling year round.

Implementing even a few of these changes can save much more than the 7500kWh of energy that is generated by the PV panels year round in the example, and at considerably less cost.

Google - a company I admire - relies heavily on monetizing all of its web assets through online ads and they are sometimes copying or are giving away for free or opening up all other services not in their core but in some other company's core business. They are the most prominent company to play well the open web ideas;

But they are vulnerable too, one such threat is the robads.org ad standards; which wants to standardize how ads are defined and published on the web in a simple manner. If robads.org gets traction, and people start to publish their ads online, Google may face a vulnerability in its core business too.
This was helpful! I knew most of the pieces but not about the 3 integers encoding a stack. I presume integers here can be of any size (that is not constrained by number of bits) or else it won't be infinite amount of memory. Nevertheless, could you shed some more light? Is a push operation left shifting the integer and adding the pushed value...?

Great idea, but the biggest problem is that it incentivizes users to pay only with credit cards. For a small restaurant owner or retailer, those bills can go upwards of $10,000-20,000/month, and could be incredibly detrimental for, say a frozen yogurt shop.

Now, the ease of use will be a big part of this (just using your own credit card), and may alleviate some of these troubles for the retailer from a training perspective, but this is yet another potential for business owners to make bad decisions sacrificing long-term profit in exchange for short-term growth.

From my reading of that link, in Rails it's not the CSRF token itself that's stored in the cookie, it's the secret used to verify the token. If Facebook is doing the same thing, there would be no need to store the secret after the user has logged out--just generate another secret the next time they log in.

I'm not so certain. A value written to riak has something on the order of 450bytes of overhead (as of version 0.14, not entirely certain of the exact overhead in 1.0). Basically riak will write your value to disk with a bunch of other data that it uses internally to do its thing. Writing a stream of integers, one integer per riak key, would be a bad idea (tm), imho.
