ROUND THREE:

KARMALITY.

One disadvantage to downvoting me, you have to get down from your high horse to reach the touchpad of your macbooks.
As pointed out by user mikelietz on Eric Meyer's site, http://firehose.diveintomark.org/ is still up.
Would people be as disappointed if Apple released iPhone 4S as iPhone 5?
> Ted Dziuba is clearly a person suffering from profound intellectual insecurity, and a lack of technical acumen.

Perhaps, as the one responding to a criticism of a piece of software with personal attacks, you are the one that is insecure? I can understand how, as a fanboy of something that was criticized, you would now take it upon yourself to hurl insults on the person who has wronged you so. This is the internet after all!

> We just laugh at stuff like this, since it's so ridiculous, and make jokes like node-fib.

Actually, you opened this comment by personally attacking Ted, because he insulted some software you happen to be a fan of. I think the most likely reason that you would contradict in such an obvious way something you just wrote is that you don't have a great deal of working memory. Looking at your code on github (https://github.com/isaacs) seems to confirm that theory.
VoteSpot is an easy way to create and vote polls around you. Think of localmind for polling. It is still currently in private beta and we are looking for a few more beta testers for the app with a TestFlight account.

Yes, the US tax system is more progressive even including all of that. However, it is true that we spend less on social programs that benefit poor people.
Similar (though not as extreme) behavior has occurred in the past:

This is even more of a reason that Google execs should use Google+ publicly. They would then understand this problem exists for this type of user and push for solutions. Perhaps some sort of priority inbox feature for Google+?

Zuckerberg would have come across this problem and would have prioritized it. Features like the Social Inbox and the constant revisions of the feed might be examples of this.
Here's what I have saved:

* Education (schools, degrees, majors)

* If you're out of school, where do you work, and at what?

* What software tools do you like?

* What's the coolest thing you've built that you can tell us about?

(edit: Misread as "the application was so long", so removed irrelevant bit, and formatting)
So check this out: Google "http error code 410" and the second hit is from diveintomark.org circa 2003.

"""
Let’s all talk about HTTP error code 410.
...
Error 410 means Resource gone, as in, a resource used to exist at this location, but now it’s gone. Not only is it gone, but I don’t know (or I don’t want to tell you) where it went.
...
Now, there is not a lot of information about error 410... I suppose because it addresses a condition that doesn’t come up very often. Also, we’ve all been brainwashed into believing that all resources should be permanent, which simply isn’t true.
"""
Google cache: http://bit.ly/qxdBi5

His servers are returning 410 errors but also the same very deliberate HTML:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>410 Gone</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Gone</h1>
<p>The requested resource<br />/<br />
is no longer available on this server and there is no forwarding address.
Please remove all references to this resource.</p>
</body></html>

Clearly Mark's invocation of the 410 error is deliberate.
such a pleasant fiction...
In Siri's case you can't even download the app right now. Of course downloading would mean nothing, because the server for that app is closing on Oct 15.
Many of them do fail. But they don't go away. It's not uncommon for people to take it three or four times until by luck or sheer force of will they finally pass with barely satisfactory grade.

Of course, this might be confirmation bias on my part. I never again see the ones that drop out.
Mark Pilgrim GitHub Mirror
KKKKKKKARMABREAKER

Give me the golden shower of downvotes!
Maybe he was addicted to internet too. So he delete all his online presence.
>When was the last time you heard of a hot startup using .NET?

Does Stack Exchange qualify?
It seems his Github acount has been squatted and is being used as a mirror for his stuff.
Yeah, one of the few books of that nature which I really enjoyed AND found useful. Thanks, Mark, where-ever you are.
There's a precedent for this. He disappeared from his blog for a while in 2004. Check the Google cache: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:diveint...
I got in. Can't wait!
How Twitter powers this nerd
Mozilla full-time contributor here. I agree they need to do what they're doing - silent updates are super important for the product right now given the new release cycle.

It's important that Mozilla does differentiate though. Firefox is the only browser that's made by a non-profit organization and puts your interests before business interests. Other browsers can't say that - they all have financial incentives and other agendas for you to use their product. Firefox provides choice so you have full control over your browsing experience.
You are being needlessly insulting to someone who could be in serious trouble.

This is entirely consistent with Wikipedia's existing policies on neutrality, because Wikipedia's neutrality policies apply to its encyclopedic content. The Wikimedia Foundation and participants in its projects have never been constrained by that particular policy, and are free to gleefully offer their opinions and pursue agendas. Indeed, the foundation is dedicated to spreading knowledge, and is opinionated about constraints on that goal.

No one has suggested, or is under the impression, that this notice is the same as an encyclopedia article. The encyclopedia article which ultimately covers this event will remain free* of opinionated statements, and instead describe the law, notable expert comments on its implications, the Wikipedia shutdown, reactions to this shutdown, and the stated motives of various participants, allowing the matter to speak for itself. It does not need to agitate for more freedom or pass judgement on the moral validity of the regime.

(* Wikipedia, being a product of mere mortals, will necessarily be an imperfect representation of neutrality. Nitpicking about this fact too much is minimally productive. People will do what they can.)

Agnosticism is a faith claim: It's claiming that we can never know anything about a deity.

I'm an atheist. I say the existence of a deity is both unproven and highly unlikely given the current evidence.
Google Plus sounds nifty. Too bad I can't see it
Within an hour of G+' launch a few months ago, I started getting invitations. I tried to join, but was informed that my buzzdata.com email address wouldn't cut it. Same with unspace.ca.

My sin? I use Google Apps to host email for my two companies. I don't have a "personal" GMail account, because I've never needed one. My companies are very personal, to me.

I'm a software developer, which makes me forgiving when things don't work right out of the starting gate. However, it's now October and I still can't see what all of the fuss is about.

This isn't really stressing me out, because I don't know what I'm missing. It's hard to care about what you can't touch. Facebook remains where all of my friends are.
Well if it was sustained it would be 2k / hour = 48k / day = ~1.4 million a month which is a little below the iPad but no that far. However, most likely it's an early peak which is far less impressive. Edit: For comparison iPad sold ~2million a month for 12 months.

They probably have an h1b lined up and don't want locals to interfere with that person's labor certification.
Strange...Alan Eustace has made 3 public posts on October 5, 2011. Perhaps he's a HN reader.
I think it would be perfectly valid to write something along these lines:

"Hi! I just found out about ArtistShare.com. Looks like a great site! Unfortunately, the way I heard about it was that I learned of the patent suit by its founder, or a licensee, against Kickstarter.com. In protest, I will not be participating on ArtistShare. Just thought I would let you know. Have a great day!!!"
You Are Not So Smart: common self-delusions and cognitive biases
I've received alot of feedback regarding things I've said about
Part of the problem is that students are told how to solve these kinds of problems rather than being taught to reason their way through the problem.

I looked at it and 'reasoned' they will meet when the combined distance of both trains is 300 miles. No math required for that step.

I believe most adults and kids could then figure out 50 MPH + 70 MPH = 120 MPH and 300 Miles/120 MPH = 2.5 Hours or am I giving people to much credit?
breakthrough..
I always try to think of it this way: How long would it take me to explain to someone 50+ how to get to my website? The problem with TLD's like *.travel, is everyone is used to the big 3, and you usually have to educate them that other ones exist.

i don't think anybody believes that he got hit by a car and all his internet presence suddenly went poof. there's more ways of not being OK than just physical injury.
Yep, that's him. 410 is intentional.
I think that's a fallacy. If the service was clay and then you have bullish management that wants to change the product for the worse all the time for their own wants, your words would be correct.

That's not the case with most web services though. The target of social networks is everyone. A social network where people would prefer to post more privately would breed a more private atmosphere. A social network where only a certain type of people would post publicly would draw in only those type of culture until the dominant culture drives what the real target market really is.

Target market segregation only come into play when a product is not yet launched. After it has been launched, the point is for the people in charge to use it to discover who are the people using the product and to mold it to both of their needs. Especially with an ambitious project like Google Plus, if you can't draw in people from all places especially people who is closest to your circle, chances are the product isn't meeting the intended appeal of ANY target market and with Google's history of cancelling products that don't meet that appeal (Buzz, Wave) that doesn't bode confidence even for the right target market when articles like this gets written.

Ask HN: I got into startup school, co-founder did not. Should he come?
I just received my email and I am super excited. Except that my co-founder received his email and he did not get in. My question is, is there value in him coming along anyways? I think yes, strictly for the networking opportunity. Opinions?
I'm in as well! Congrats :)
Did you rsvp before getting the email? I still haven't gotten it, but the rsvp page still indicates that I'm invited.

I'm beginning to wonder if they only sent emails to people who hadn't rsvp'd already.
According to Edward Tufte, there's no such thing as a good use of a pie chart.
I'm in! So excited!!
Are women's career choices influenced by hormones in the womb?
Given that
a) Mark is known by his real name, employed by a major company, and presumably has numerous friends, coworkers, and acquaintances in meatspace
b) none of his friends, coworkers, or acquaintances are stepping forward either with information or panicked questions

is it safe to assume that our interest and attention at this time is unwanted?
I'm still waiting for my email, but the rsvp page (http://news.ycombinator.com/susrsvp) indicates I've been accepted. Anyone else in the same situation?
There were fewer illegals in the 1990s, though, right?

How to Market on the Internet - The Ten Crucial Elements of Success- Video
I suppose if Google+ was a conventional product--and one could get accurate information about whether or not Google's execs actually used it--this article might have a point.

But Google+ isn't a product. It's more like an API that uses a graphic user interface to transfer personal data from users to Google. Google then uses that data to provide an actual product to its actual customers: advertisers.

LEAVE DMITRY ALONE!!!
Very good comment Justin, much respect from me. A small point though -

> I have never taken a real vacation.

I used to be like this. I'd work, literally, about 362 days per year and take 3 off.

It didn't max out my productivity, it didn't max out my income, it didn't max out my quality of life, it didn't make me better able to serve customers and clients.

Really, I was just suffering because I had an identity of "being hardcore."

I still do, to some extent. But I'm taking more time off lately and doing better than ever. I work less, but my decisions are sharper.

To wade in, try taking off 2-3 days and go somewhere nice that's only ~100 to ~200 miles from where you live, or less. That's a short pleasant train ride, a 30-60 minute flight, or a few hour drive. Hang out in a cabin by a lake, or the beach, or whatever. Refuse to work unless you get hyper-inspired.

You might, actually - get hyper inspired. Then it's okay. But if you step back and get some perspective instead of constantly grinding it out, you might actually increase your income, productivity, ability to serve and deliver for your staff and customers, and your own quality of life.

It does require giving up an identity of "I'm hardcore and suffer because that's what I do" though - and I don't say that in a snarky way. I've got that identity. But again, I suspect it might actually be counterproductive to income, productivity, service, and quality of life.
Yeah. There's a term called kindergarten redshirts, where parents hold their child back to be older for athletic reasons. You end up with these weird kindergartens with some boys just about to turn 7 and all the girls are 5.

What I'm saying is, if you really intend for people not to try to find you, leave a message saying not to try to find you. If that's the intention, the person removing all their stuff is not trying to tell a story, they're trying to remove themselves from one.

If, however, you're trying to cause endless speculation about your motives, and for people to wonder whether you're dead or alive (and I do hope he's alive), I suppose this way works.
Google+ has made a point to enforce a real names policy - no pseudonyms allowed. Surely high level executives have things they would like to say publicly or comment on posts which they see. Reading articles is one thing, but taking the time to form a cohesive argument or opinion required to make comment on public articles can greatly enhance comprehension of a topic. Responding to criticism is also a part of this.

Are we to believe that people rise the ranks to a position of power where they suddenly need not debate issues in the public sphere and take the criticism that goes along with it?

Surely not. So wouldn't it then make sense to at least allow pseudonyms?

... for new development.

Consider having to develop a new web site. You have two options.

1) You are a JQuery/YUI/Prototype/Sprout wiz and you pound it out with HTML, JS and CSS tweaking.

2) You fire up the browser, open the brower's integrated IDE, which is (will be) on par with Eclipse, and write dynamically typed code, using a solid OO widget set which includes tables, charts, and graphs as well as standard form widgets. As you develop your code, a beautiful UI using the browser's hardware accelerated 2d/3d apis comes together in real time as you are typing in and modifying the code.

Most will go with option #2. Just as most will opt for Android or iOS native apps over HTML5 apps on tablets, smart phones.
The moral of the story is that if you are well-known on the Internet and want to disappear quietly, you need to leave a note saying "I'm fine, I just don't want this stuff here anymore. Please respect my privacy in doing so."

Didn't get in.

Me.

I'd take 6 figures of SP and develop WebParts (and will sell them).

It's a very good niche business. Just like what Wordpress used to be (or Drupal).
From the phrasing of your question, I thought you were asking a different question. If you'd said "listening to", I'd have assumed your actual question, but since you said "hearing" instead I took that as an intentional effort to imply a different question. One of "While you're coding, what is the auditory portion of your brain processing?" Are you hearing yourself think? Do you hear the sound of your typing? The people around you talking? Or do are you concentrating so deeply that you block those out?
