It's not like someone driven solely by money (think Gordon Gecko) is going to say 'okay okay, I have $5 million, that's enough for me!'

Also, if living comfortably was a founders goal, why would they start a company instead of getting a steady job working for a comfortable 6 figures at an established company?
Ah I didn't care much for that. Obviously we're appreciating different parts of "this".

For me, there is something beautiful / mysterious about the interplay of light amidst the ruin and dust particles whirling about.

The magnificent architecture by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Gotthard_Langhans comes a close second. He probably would have gotten rave reviews from HN if alive today:

" He was not educated as an architect. He studied law from 1753 to 1757 in Halle, and then mathematics and languages, and engaged himself auto-didactically with architecture, at which he concentrated primarily on the antique texts of the Roman architecture theorist Vitruvius (and the new version by the classics enthusiast Johann Joachim Winckelmann."
When he upgraded to PayPal Pro to get the Virtual Terminal, he separately applied for and received a real merchant account underwritten by a real bank (usually Chase or Wells Fargo). He accepted a separate agreement with that bank including the boilerplate Visa/MC agreements and the stuff about risk reserves. It's not the same as just turning on a feature.

The author of the article doesn't really understand the situation he's in. He signed up for a merchant account underwritten by a licensed bank (Chase or Wells Fargo) when he upgraded to PayPal Pro to get the virtual terminal. He accepted an agreement with that bank. That bank has the right to hold a reserve as outlined in that agreement.

Just a tip - How to answer the McD question:

McD are spread worldwide - so assume some figures for the leading consumer nations.

For ex - 70% of US population, 50% of Japanese population etc consume at least 1 McD burger/meal a day. Now compute the average price of a McD burger/meal. Multiply the two and you have average revenues per day.

Average price * no of burgers/meals sold per day = Average revenues.

Average revenues per day * 30 * 12 = annual revenues.

Follow the same formula for all product lines and add them up. Hope this helps.

Being dissatisfied isn't what was considered unreasonable. Thinking that changing the world is easier than changing your expectations is what is considered unreasonable. From a frequentist statistical point of view, that is true. But some people are outliers who are able to bend the world to their will.
I have trouble agreeing with this for a few reasons. First of all, I've gone through times in my life where I've saved and saved spending very little.

I've also gone through stages where I've spent more than I had.

If it's all in the genes, wouldn't it have to be one or the other?

Why would our genes have a code to buy or spend, which is so far removed from a natural process?

The class that includes Edison and Jobs is the class that wins the recognition and respect of the general public, including my 80 year old aunt who has never used an Apple product. I guess of doesn't really matter though, if the luminaries and some of their fans choose not to care what the public thinks.
The nice thing about choosing your own definition of success is that we can congratulate both Jobs and Woz for their success even though they reached incredibly divergent outcomes and there is no way they could have ever both reached the same point.
Sounds like an appeal to authority to me.
This is not new, been around for 3-4 years now, and is targeted for oracle employees.

What Oracle launched on Wednesday is this:

This is a Social Network layer on top of their latest Fusion Applications. In my opinion, this is more about enterprise collaboration and less about "social". Oracle is just being buzzword compliant here.
I can't speak for your experience with TPG, but a lot of users I know on TPG hate the fact that they have "unlimited downloads" but in reality get limited bandwidth due to an oversold service.

I decided I prefer a limited plan where I know what service level (particularly latency and throughput) I can expect. For instance, plans with Adam and Internode are not that much more than a TPG plan for more usage than I'll forseeably use (I get 500gb a month or so at 20mbps + VOIP for $100), but the difference in gaming latency and actual speeds are both considerably more stable and faster than friends on TPG.
Hey Erik ;)

Strictly Max/MSP/Jitter is a much more encompassing environment than SuperCollider and ChucK, which focus on audio. The advantage of Max is that it combines a great control language with audio programming, a great video matrix library and a dataflow OpenGL API. Generally there are many more 3rd party contributions to Max/MSP than any of the other media programming frameworks with the exception of perhaps vvvv (which is video centric).

That said, the nice thing about all of these environments is that they heavily integrate OSC messaging, which allows you to mix and match anything together. People often combine openFrameworks/Cinder and SuperCollider for instance.

Just to clarify one thing, the founders in the AirBnB case were not selling anything to investors -- they were taking a dividend, which is even worse for the early employees, because the founders get rich without dilituing themselves, precluding the other employees from doing better in a subsequent round.
It's possible? but I'd be very surprised if this was common. First, it's fairly core to the business of being an ISP; second, it's a fairly easy concept to grasp. I could pretty easily explain the concept to someone who is average; I mean, most upper management looks kinda dumb compared to Engineering, but they are usually above average, even if they usually spend more points on social stuff that doesn't correlate with G.

This would be like saying the president of ford motor company doesn't understand the difference between the EPA 'city' and 'highway' mileage numbers, and how to game each. Sure, if it's convenient, he might claim ignorance to the press, but there's no way he doesn't understand something that central to the business.
It is certainly plausible that Jobs could have heard the Sony story and then marched over to the iPod lab.

All of these lessons can be learned in any McDonalds store. Just act like you're getting inspiration from Steve Jobs instead of a random guy. The lesson a person with almost 60 years of life experience may not learn is, how does this opportunist self promotion look.

How can it not matter. Once a person that wrote from the heart about matter concerning maybe a few, maybe very few, once fallen victim to his own greatness that person will seek out subjects that appeal to the masses no matter the depth of his own insight.

The thing is, at that stage, do you really think anyone will abandon half a billion dollars just because they've already taken out 5 million? I wouldn't, at all.

If I cashed out a few million, what would I do with it? I'd pay my debts, buy a respectable place to live, eat healthy meals, buy a car, and buy generous gifts for all the people who've helped me along the way. Maybe most important, I'd show my friends and family I made the right decision.

But a few million is not nearly enough to buy everything I want, and there's no way I'm going to ditch such a high-potential project just for a quick payout. In fact, now that I've tasted wealth, it's more likely that I'll make sure I keep it.

The hungry founder fears staying hungry. The comfortable founder fears becoming a hungry founder and staying hungry - and I think the latter is a much more prominent fear.

It operates by pushing data back and forth across it. Backus argued that that "Von Neumann bottleneck" of not being able to access program and data at the same time ought to be done away with somehow in his "Can Programming Be Liberated From The Von Neumann Style" http://www.stanford.edu/class/cs242/readings/backus.pdf
I do not think that term means what you think it means.[1][2]

This isn't what I understand to be Analysis Paralysis. AP is when you're trying to analyse the problem and design you're trying to code, and you're overwhelmed by the decisions to make and as a result, unable to proceed.

This, in contrast, is about deliberate reflection on what you're doing so you can better make explicit all the otherwise implicit and internal decisions of which you may otherwise be unaware.

As the article says, coders make hundreds of decisions for every routine they write, most on auto-pilot. Some of those might be less than optimal, and this kind of examination and reflection can help to understand, and possibly improve, those decisions.

Mm... Good point.

Is that happening here, you think?

I tend to play Devil's advocate; and right now, people are demonizing Guy. But if he's genuinely full of fluff, then it'd be justified.
Bitter? Not really. Skeptical? Absolutely, and admittedly for not terribly well-defined reasons.

I just don't think the trend of having founders being able to extract more millions sooner from their companies is a good thing. It just invites more greed from Wall Street types into the Valley.

I'm talking about your comment: "He was right back then, and he's still right today. Not many people can claim that."

There is no argument there other than, 'he's right because he's right.'
this is a summarized transcript of his talk here:

http://video.svb.com/video/12-Lessons-Steve-Jobs-Taught-Gu#c... Lessons Steve Jobs Taught Guy Kawasaki

I think the reason it reads bland is that it is a short summary. I found his talk amusing and better presented than what he listed here.
This reminds me a lot of professional sports...you see a lot of athletes get criticized for "not being a team player" because they want the huge contracts, but people don't realize that ITS A BUSINESS. If you see an opportunity to make something in the tens of millions of dollars, why wouldn't you jump at that? Its hard not to get sentimental about it, but some people don't view their companies as more than a venue to make money, and its a FACT that if you couldn't make money doing it, 99.9% of businesses would not be started.

Personally, I don't agree with the "easy cash-out" strategy, and I think that what you find is that with the REALLY successful businesses, the game changers, money is never at the top of the list of priorities for the founders, its usually viewed as an added benefit. However, from a business standpoint, working long hours and taking advantage of an opportunity to earn some serious cash for your effort can't really be criticized.

I'm also a musician, but ...

The process looks more like that of jazz to me - finding/inventing structure & theme, reconceptualising both, collaboratively developing derived forms and then riffing on those for performance.

Unlike songwriting, that's a musical process that's always come naturally to me and I use almost exactly the same mindset when I'm on form as a developer too. I don't know if this a common experience.
No they stream to xbox and the tv just can't stream on both at the same time. This is some new development, didn't used to be an issue.
When there are more and more nations with drones, it will be harder to trace them back to some nation-state.
And with technology-only attacks there is no longer necessarily a nation-state with army behind it at all. Just an organization with a lot of capital. China could deny being involved. Or maybe the drones were infected with a computer virus (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3085004)

I'm reminded of the battery hacking issue with the macbooks, even though it wasn't USB. I fear that there are a lot more security concerns with this than anything else. Devices are getting more compact, more all-in-one (the iPad doesn't need a mouse), so I'm not sure how long there will even be much practical use for this...except to hide your porn in your mouse I guess...
I think a key issue here is: it isn't any of their business. I did not promise I would be around 24 hours a day, and they have no introspection into my life to know when something is normal behavior or not.

There are tons of people who do, though: my girlfriend, the people I hang out with at my office every day, and even a few "long term allies" (as it were) I've come to know only online (and talk with on IRC). Some (in fact, many) of these people even have access to my exact location at all times via Latitude.

But the people I meet at conferences, the people who follow me on Twitter, or even the people who lurk in IRC channels I'm in? It is simply not any of their business where I am or what I am doing, and it is absolutely silly for them to expect me to tell them how long I'm going to be gone.
FWIW, you not only don't link to that page in your FAQ: you actually don't link to that page at all on your entire site (which is why Google didn't index it). (I just verified this by doing a quick wget -m.) ;P
No, Im not saying your code is worthless. Im saying your reasons for contributing and dropping the code wasnt and isnt 'Free Software'. As you mentioned, its 'Open vs. Closed'.

Also, rms did not piss on his grave. He respectfully said that he's happy that Steve Jobs couldnt affect the computer world anymore.

Mm, I didn't mean to come off as a dick. Overtone is cool as hell, and is worthy of a lot of respect.

My point was, there's a reason why musicians often use "a box with a bigass row of large physical keys" to do this sort of thing.

That said, a synth costs thousands of dollars; so I love the idea of Overtone making live music more accessible to "dabblers" like me.

( Unfortunately, a MacBook also costs thousands of dollars, and I've given up hoping people still care about Windows. =) )

I think from the outside looking in, it's very hard to really profile the relationship that the two Steves had, but that relationship was necessary. I would dare to say that at first, Jobs needed Woz more than Woz needed Jobs, but VERY quickly that reversed. Woz is a brilliant engineer, but Jobs was just something else entirely.
Without Woz, Jobs probably would have never become who he was, but Jobs really made Apple what it is today. For proof of this just look at the last 12 years, Jobs came back and turned the company into the juggernaut it is today, not Wozniak.
I don't think live coding makes live music more accessible to dabblers. Making live music that people enjoy listening to only takes a few dozen to a few hundred hours of instruction and practice, with either voice or instruments, and beyond the obvious a capella modalities, there's the harmonica, the borrowed friend's guitar, the recorder, the pan pipes, and so on, which together mean you can make pretty excellent music without spending much or any money. And it'll take you quite a lot of practice to outgrow a US$100 synth from Radio Shack. (Or wherever you buy them these days.)

By contrast, I have the impression that livecoding requires a great deal more knowledge to do in an entertaining way, and it can go wrong in many more ways.
Opposed? You might live in a different Germany than I do. The German public is mostly law and order.
Celebrating centenary of Alan Turing's birth in 2012
I think that individual code design culture comes from trying many languages and different use cases, picking up the best practices on the way. I remember using Pascal and then acknowledging that "begin" and "end" are better expressed with curly braces in C. When using Delphi I learnt a lot of OOP principles so I could later easily pickup Java and took some good habits from there also, later came PHP where I started noticing vertical readability is important, so when I saw Python I was stunned. Functional programming hit me, but not so hard, because I used AutoCAD LISP years ago and it felt natural. Trough the years I started to notice new things I would need in my daily coding and I found nirvana when I saw Ruby.

After years of coding one develops their coding personality that they're happy with and I think their code has just a right mix of carelessness and precision which could be never learned from a script kiddie book.
Ha! A $100 synth from RadioShack is precisely what I use. It even has "RadioShack" engraved into it.

Honestly I was just trying to find some good things to say about Overtone, since creativity is always a great thing and should be encouraged.

Maybe a combination of the two ideas: Overtone functions being invoked by pressing keys on a synth, with pressure/speed of the keypress being passed as function args. (But then I suppose Overtone would be "just another synth generator"... I don't know.)
Each colored region contains one circled point, and the region itself is the set of points to which that circled point is the closest circled point. When you hover over the diagram, your cursor acts as yet another circled point with its own (yellow) colored region.
By that logic, no one but an investor should ever be permitted to cash out, since you must retain that motivational carrot!

That's nonsensical. The chances of drone armies being so perfectly matched they always fight to a stalemate are basically zero. Ultimately one side will win, and then it will have a free hand. It's no different than a conventional air war in that regard.
Yes. And why? Probably because the majority of the personal computers of German citizens use Windows as their operating system.
Unfortunately (and without any sarcasm) the answer is yes if youre American. But there are a few more countries where it's ok too.
