The thing that I don't get about Atlassian is that they make gigantic, unwieldy products that have ludicrous hardware requirements for what they are (compare the performance of a mediawiki install and a Confluence install on the same box) yet they AREN'T targeting the enterprise. In fact, they seem outright enterprise-hostile in their sales process (they don't take purchase orders, period, so you have to find someone with a company credit card, that is authorized to use it on software, that ... you get the picture.)

You have a cap of licensed users, but no way to view only users who are burning a license (we had open registration on our Confluence install for a while, so many employees made 5 or 6 accounts - the only way to figure out which ones are still enabled and which ones aren't is to manually click through every fucking one), things like that.

I love the feature set of Confluence, and feel like it is generally pretty easy to use and well-received by my users, but I dread the annual license renewals (and the upgrades that automatically start sending your users mail with no way to opt out of that globally -- that you have to install, because they contain security fixes.)
"David Heinemeier Hansson gave up a dangerous drug addiction we funded."
When you search for "${", the page is missing 26 lines of minified JavaScript (lines 9-35 of a non-broken page, at least for me), almost certainly because of a templating bug. These lines, among other things, are responsible for adding the top toolbar to the page. (The missing JS is here: http://pastebin.com/B9cy3T2c)

I'd think out of the box on this, and just give the user another channel to control the page turning. The most natural choice I could see would be some sort of eye or head tracking. Though I suspect that rather than trying to guess where they are in the sheet music, I'd just give them a visual target off to the right or left that if they gaze upon/turn towards it the page turns forward (or back).

The problem with solutions based on tracking where we are in the music, then inferring the correct action, is that it still encodes assumptions about when the page should be turned, which is great... until it's wrong.
If this is a templating engine type thing, you should be able to do something like

${KEYWORD}${

If you can figure out what "KEYWORD" is for a given template tag as well. I tried links and a few others, but none that I can identify: it does still reproduce the bug though.
It sounds like you know the answer to your own question. What you really want, I believe, is someone to comfort you into thinking that the decision you already made, which is to go to work for them, is a good call. Obviously I may be completely wrong but I would think you would have entered an update stating you opted out based on the recommendations of HN members.
The opposite argument is, of course, you are going to do some work you will love and enjoy. If this is the case equity doesn't matter. You may be right and these guys may be truthful and honest; it is their business and they do not need to offer you equity. They will do what they can for you later. I would offer equity if I were them but only after you showed me something. Then it would be a no-brainer.
Good luck with this.
Infographic: What you should know about visitor retention
You loaded the page directly. It only seems to happen if autosearch was involved.

Loading http://www.google.com/search?q=${ does what you see, but entering ${ in to the search box and pressing enter does what everyone else sees.

edit: compare your clean human generated address bar to the other screenshot's messy software generated one.
It's unambiguous if your native language is not a romance language.
Looking at those screenshots, I see that you all tried:

${

However, I tried the literal

'${'

Which also breaks it. In fact, it looks like anything that has ${ in it will break it, anywhere at all in the search string.

Also, if you close the parentheses, e.g. ${}, it fixes it. This works with any number of leading ${, e.g. ${${${${${}
Unlikely. You'd have to get someone else to run the same query.
It looks that way when you search using Chromes omnibox. Go to google.com then try.
You don't really need a whole library to do it, just the first digit is enough. 3 = amex, 4 = visa, 5 = MC, 6 = discover.
you are leaking your gmail address with that screenshot.

not sure if that was intended or not.
I have a policy in which I don't estimate jobs where my gut says will take more than 40 hours worth of work. Beyond that it's Agile style iteration work.

I think this has two advantages: I don't put that much time into "no real business here" leads, or (if there is business there), there's no way I know the whole scope of a large project in one conversation.
A good talk but from the title I was hoping there would be more about how they grew their sales. The talk was more about growing the company and evolving from a startup to a large company but with little mention of how they actually did that.
Note: this also works: http://www.google.com/#q=$%7B
Based on the article, I reckon it takes the arg:type syntax from Delphi. Pascal, to the best of my knowledge, was the first language to use such notation. I think it's likely that ML borrowed that syntax from Pascal, but I can't prove it.
I think about things like this sometimes when I hear people say they want to change the world. What they mean is that they want to change the world in a way that they can imagine, but the law of unintended consequences won't let you off that easy.

Was some Google engineer thinking in 2005, "implementing chat logging in GMail is going to change the world!" I doubt it, but for these people it is a changed world. What looks from one angle like appending lines to a table somewhere, from another looks like your own personal biographer taking snapshots frozen in time.
I'd be more in Flipboard's corner on this if they had an Android app.
For me just typing ${ breaks the layout. I agree it probably has something to do with a template engine. I know Java EL uses the syntax ${variable_name} and so does Velocity Templates.

Listen, I'm no fan of Facebook but this article is pure flame-bait.

Death by a thousand paper cuts may be a fun way to look at how Facebook could eventually bite the dust, but I think it's simpler. Eventually companies are going to figure out that they need to stop turning things inside out and technology will carry human social interaction instead of human social interaction carrying technology.

The distinction can be subtle, but consider a world where you don't think about the company and technology enabling you to share a moment with a loved one. Do you think about which phone network is carrying your phone call (until it drops)? In the future you probably won't think about checking Twitterbook+, it will all just happen.
Google is going to make a ton of enemies (probably too late) if they keep going after every god damn idea. Damn - make your results better.
Iterative is definitely the way to go, and it's the way you are (generally) expected to answer a question. If you are asked a question a good first approach is almost always to describe the simplest/dumbest solution you can and then iterate to a better one.

The whole point of the coding interview is to ensure that 1. you actually know how to code and 2. that you have reasonable problem solving skills. By iteratively approaching the problem you demonstrate your problem solving and communication skills. Also a good interviewer will usually structure a problem so that you have to approach it iteratively because they keep adding restrictions/requirements after each time you solve it.
And on the wrong day to boot...
Appears to have been corrected.

Trolling journo on a deadline. I worked at Yahoo for 4 years, off and on. I have worked at FB for almost 2. The companies are almost nothing alike, inside or out.

And does he really think that Facebook and Skype slapped together an integration in one week in response to G+?
The resumé visualizations look beautiful. Certainly adds colour to plain text representation. Glad to see a Toronto startup coming out strong.

I wonder if there's a way to widget-ize the output for a personal site. It would seem that folks with a more sizeable online presence (i.e. an actual personal site) may want to have this show up under their domain as the default representation of their profile in lieu of a text CV.
It's always buy v build, the rest of your comment doesn't make sense.
I think google search uses this templating language:

It makes sense that the ${ could cause problems.

My issues with Jira are:

- does not handle workflow well

- does not clearly manage changesets

- does not clearly track codebase changes at an audit level

- allows too much meaningless configuration and reporting

TFS is much better solution and it's not even the best on the market.

Serena is a much better solution and it's not even as good as TFS.

Jira is not an enterprise solution. It's a toy for non-developers.

And if you are a public company, you sure as HELL better not be thinking that's an audit standard that will satisfy SOX.
I'm a bit confused as to why Anonymous would be targetting Wall St. According to opensecrets.org, only three corporations (AT&T, UPS and Goldman) make the top 25 list of donors.

The vast majority of big donors seem to be unions, with professional associations (trial lawyers, realtors, AMA) coming in a distant second.

...which you can do simply by posting a link anywhere.

Edit: I guess it would be more helpful to explain why for those not familiar with XSS. If all it takes it a specially crafted URL to your site to exploit it, your site is toast. The security model of the web assumes that people can open even the shadiest of links without negative consequences. I could have obscured the URL with a shortener and named the link "Cutest cat pic ever!" I could have hosted a page on a totally separate domain and put the crafted URL in a hidden iframe. All I have to do is send document.cookie over to my server and now I control your account.
Compulsory licensing.

Hollywood doesn't care about markets nor allowing demand to pick the products and services that are best for consumers. Let's get parity between movies and music by instituting compulsory licensing for movies and video media. Once MGM has "performed" or distributed their newest blockbuster, others are allowed to follow suit as long as they pay the licensin fee.

That is definitely what it is about. And I don't think Google would consider buying or building something if they didn't believe they could bring a substantially different or greater view to the idea.

Ask HN: Is Google+ success or failure?
After initial growth is seems like Google+ is slowing down... and people are not coming back. At least from my perspective. None of my friends started using Google+ - even though they did get Google+ account. Facebook still seems the only place where people post something interesting.

What is your experience?
Really? They are at the mercy of Google because they are going to compete with them? They even told them a year ahead they are going to do it. You don't get that from other big companies.
Sounds like GoodData (http://www.gooddata.com/), which is great! Competition drives innovation.

I encountered these types of students when I was at university, as well. From what I hear, they're common at most universities. It seems like the vast majority of people going into Computer Science choose it because they want to write video games or make web sites, not because they're genuinely interested in Computer Science. Many schools have been downgrading their programs to cater to them (after all, their money is just as <insert color of legal tender here>).
My mistake. I thought it didn't work if you linked to it directly. It turns out the bug just manifests itself differently if you do that.
Coupons, reviews, social networks and aggregation are hardly novel ideas.
They've existed long before computation, and even were implemented in software before those you mention.

Yes, naming is a huge time-suck. Not only do you have to worry about the domain and the github project name, but you have to worry about trademarks as well. Even if you hate trademarks and have no intention of registering yourself, some other Johnny-come-lately could register a name you've worked hard to give meaning to and then deny you its use. Prior use is an even less effective defense with trademarks than with patents, and international trademark issues are too nightmarish to talk about.

Take it from someone who has actually had to change a project name after two years. You want a name that's pronouncable, barely memorable, but nothing to do with any real words that others might contend for. There's a reason for all those crappy nonsense-word names. They put an end to the pain so that developers can go back to developing actual functionality.
I like this better than both of the native apps I have tried for android. Not only is it a more intuitive UI for me it is also very snappy. Good work.
In a way, yes. There was lots of public validation for some of G+ features.

How did you deal with it? Did you actively seek out like-minded people? If so, any tips on how I can do the same?

Thanks again.

5 subtle ways you’re using MySQL as a queue, and why it’ll bite you
The latest Groupon thing I had was a guy who came to with an idea of filling orders. People vote on what they want to do and then companies could see the customer interest and fill the order.

He had a mechanism in place that would have a group buying percentage rating, and naturally lower profit per sale for the person filling the order.

The first thing I said to him was, customers don't know what they are buying... they are gambling that companies supply something good.

From a companies point of this is a great mechanism to drop stock that isn't selling... which for most people would be stock people don't want... I doubt there would be many $99 Touch Pads, and mostly as seen on TV products...

He refused to acknowledge his system could be abused in this manner I suggested and the customer experience could end up quite bad (received products below the quality they expected).

I asked for some sort of spec, or numbers, or anything around what he wanted and I was presented with "I've told you everything, and you have the designs". The designs where ball point pen sketches he left on a piece of paper we found in a cafe where we had our first meeting.

I got a tad concerned at this point and pushed him for some other questions around his funding and sales men.

No sales staff, and he was taking out a loan to develop the work. At this point I said I wasn't interested as I got concerned that when money didn't start rolling in I might not get paid.

He got really angry with me after I declined and I felt a wave of relief as I assume he would have been the sort of client who would never have been wrong, and would have probably tried some stupid law suit blaming me for bad business decisions.

A company that launched at TC Disrupt does this: http://tonara.com/

"Think of it as sheet music for the iPad generation. Tonara is an iPad app that can map your keyboard pounding to the right place on the sheet music, and then magically flip the page at the right point.

Married to a store selling sheet music, it’s pretty clear that something interactive like this will do to sheet music what Kindle did to hardback books. TechCrunch’s panel of judges were dubious of the size of the market, but our guess is this company will be quietly have its tip jar filled high as it plays a requiem for sheet music anthologies." - http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2011/09/startups-techcrunch-d...

It's way too early to tell, ask again when it's visible to all users and integrated into all of Google's products and have the basic features of search and even decent (vanity) urls, not to mention not requiring an invite.

It's Google's social play, something it must have, a list of people you know and interact with over Google products. It's a work in progress and will yet unfold for some time.

And by the way, if any other startup got the numbers they have it would be dubbed a huge success, it's just that people like to speculate about everything Google as it gets them clicks.
