Let's remake the Internet
One of the best things about writing software is that you constantly get to make things that didn't exist before. Internet was originally created so scientists could share information almost instantaneously. The Internet has evolved into something most people could not have conceived back then. Now that we know it's capabilities, if we could remake the Internet from the ground up, how would you do it, what would you include? Even with web 2.0 there's a lot of legacy involved if we were completely unshackled from the past to make it in HN's image, how would it look?

I know this is a radical idea, but just imagine making something completely new to compete with the entire Internet! Forget just targeting individual sites or services, what could be awesome enough to change the entire face of online computing?
Earning money while sleeping is not that difficult. I (living in Europe) run a site with many visitors from US and Japan. Most of the revenues are generated during my sleep time. ;-)
Why does Oracle care so much about this? Autonomy shopped themselves around and Oracle turned them down. Now Oracle wants to hurt Autonomy because a competitor bought them. I guess all is fair in M&A, but this just seems like a stupid spat.
I never said it can't ever work in practice. Either it will or it won't. But then again, I'm not the one who's calling to abolish a working system that has served science for decades.
My field is more Education than CS or engineering, but I don't think publishers add value as much as, simply create a convenient baseline for readers to judge the quality of the work. Classrooms, all through grade school to College voraciously decry sources like wikipedia or... well any free media as possibly bad sourcing. With that sort of ingrained mindset, it's really no wonder why publishers still exist (and probably will continue to exist) even with the recent advances in open source.

I know from my experience though, that many in academia would not publish papers without a journal because their contracts with the university either forbid such action or part of their contract explicit state they MUST be published by a respected publisher.
Like the "unrecoverable backlash" they suffered for the App Engine pricing scandal, the net neutrality scandal, "If you have something to hide..." and their making a big stink about pulling out of China and then not actually doing it until China started hacking their servers?

Google could do anything they wanted, no matter how evil and there will still be an endless steam of fanboys defending them.
Very true, but when it comes to a domain, to have a fair and equal system - they must be the same.

My recommendation ... Read everything in bold and that should provide you with the article's content.
Functors simply provide dependency injection for modules. It's no different from any other kind of dependency injection, except that modules themselves are a very flexible unit of organisation.
That's a pretty strong statement without any proof to back it up. What is this satisfactory proof that this "has been disproved years ago"?

It's always been named that way since they started, and I guess once they started it was much harder to change.
They will still work, but switching to pygobject-3 requires to port the application. There is a script in the pygobject tarball/module which handles most (not all) of the changes.
Yes, API is not the same (although very similar) so all applications have to be ported. Some of this can be automated (using scripts like http://git.gnome.org/browse/pygobject/tree/pygi-convert.sh) but it has to be done.
Yes, I'm making that 'assumption' because the article says, "... open-access journals, such as PLoS ONE, which charge authors a handling fee to cover their operating costs ..."

EDIT: Link from comment above shows fees for the PLoS family of journals start at $1350 per article and go up rapidly from there.

http://www.plos.org/journals/pubfees.php
What exactly are those costs? Reviewers work for free. The only other thing that's needed is a web application and some hosting. These costs are negligible compared to the tax that closed journals are imposing on the scientific world.
I disagree. There is no single incident that caused everyone to love Open Access. Instead, over the last years librarians and activists have been slowly but steadily been making progress in this regard - without breaking the law or contracts.
On Android I'm using Firefox Mobile -- it still has some quirks, but they are rapidly improving.

Compared to the standard browser, Firefox has an UI that does not suck and feels faster. It also has add-ons, but I haven't tried any of them yet.

It can also sync to your Firefox browser on your desktop, fetching your history, your bookmarks, your saved forms data and so on. That data is encrypted on their servers so as far as privacy goes, it's OK.

Plus, whenever using Firefox you're helping the Mozilla foundation to earn more money, which makes it a win-win for everybody.
It was the lack of vision. They kept doubling down on Symbian for 4 years thinking they can make it competitive with iOS and Android. It was the wrong decision.

They should've kept supporting Symbian, but focus on Maemo (or a new OS) from day one (after the iPhone launched). Supporting WP7 over Android will probably be the final biggest mistake that Nokia did.

Count me in the group that finds $250 to be a steal for this sort of thing. Your mission page is spot on.

The amount of time/headache it takes to brand a startup should not be underestimated. I think that the logos are fine to get started quickly but probably would all need to be changed in the long run, but no big deal, you've provided a decent enough starting point where it doesn't look shitty atleast and can allow someone to build their product while still having a decent looking thing on their site.

We spent several WEEKS of all hands on deck and lots of $$$ (Well over $10k for the domain name, banners, stationery etc) as a company rebranding from Transparent Financial Services (http://transfs.com) to FeeFighters (http://feefighters.com).
Had we started with something better than transfs from the beginning we wouldn't have had the problem (btw, it's still a pain in the ass because google apps doesn't let you change your name, so we still only have a duct tape solution where our google apps are still @transfs and I occasionally still send an email from @transfs - embarassing!). Plus, we lost all the google juice we'd built up over that time (which was considerable - TransFS was a PageRank 5 site and FeeFighters had none).

At that point (post-funding), our time and pagerank were a lot more important than the money.

This is schoolyard stuff, but it doesn't matter. Being this way has always been Larry Ellison's M.O. and public opinion of the HP board is at an all time low. Many HP investors feel the Autonomy deal is overpriced and if Oracle can sow seeds of discontent torward a competitor further by pointing out they were shopped the same deal and passed on it due to price, they absolutely will, regardless of decorum.

The CEO of Autonomy likely didn't want his new (in flux, under fire) benefactors looking foolish or having buyer's remorse before the deal closed, but honesty is always the best policy.
No doubt their slow steady pace laid the foundations, but let's give credit where it's due. That MIT guy broke the dam and now it's a torrent.
Back Story (since I apparently missed it)

HP is buying Autonomy for 10+B. Many analysts feel this is over priced, and on Oracle's earnings call Larry Ellison couldn't help but get a jab in at HP by saying that they (Mark Hurd ironically) told Autonomy they were overpriced at their current 6+B Market Cap when Autonomy went to Oracle looking for a suitor.

Autonomy CEO then said "WTF we never talked to Oracle about being purchased".

Then this.
Not that I'm a fan of Gladwell in any respect, but his gaffe shows that he never took linear algebra, which is true of almost everybody who didn't go into hard science or engineering.
From a small-time perspective, $100-$150. That's small enough where if the project doesn't take off I won't be out too much cash, and big enough to justify a logotype from a font library, a simple vector logo, and the transfer of a not-unreasonable domain name.
This has nothing to do with envy and retribution. It's about an economic system that pretends to be a free market but is increasingly skewed to giving a certain class of people guaranteed rewards no matter how they perform. Not a healthy thing for an economy.
My goodness! A startup with a purpose, a product, an interesting business model... and no ads. Is this a freakin' mirage?

Love the fixed $250 price.

Great work guys.

Bringing up the Creative Commons in this respect is sort of undermining your own argument. CC0[1] is a license acknowledging that, while it may be legally impossible to voluntarily and irrevocably extinguish copyright in works in which copyright naturally subsumes (putting a work into the public domain proper), as is the case in Canada under the Copyright Act (R.S.C., 1985, c. C-42), to the extent possible under law, you make a grant of license equivalent to usage rights for works in the public domain. The results are similar, but the universal grant of license is revocable within the lifetime of the copyright (that is, the license may be withdrawn, and use after the withdrawal that is not ongoing from the period of the license would be subject to explicit grants of license).
Having worked at a startup that had the most loyal employees I've ever seen, I can offer these points that I noticed (aimed at the rockstar employees):
1. Pay them above market rate.
2. Involve them in your idea process.
3. Give overall guidance, but let them brainstorm how to implement an idea and who will work on it.
Good point: But the analogy may/may not hold if we look at actual numbers. My bet is on it not holding and PLOS style coming out better. Unfortunately, i have no idea of the balance sheet/economics of a journal publisher. Is there any such data that can be compared?

I wonder if the Microsoft representative actually believes that "industry leaders" are the key to innovation, or likely to be hurt by patent shennanigans.

The fact that you can't make a portable computer without paying secret fees for secret patents strikes me as rather bad news for innovation.

Why do Scientists send their papers or findings to IEEE etc. instead of just publishing it?

Research is only taken seriously if it's published in a respected, peer-reviewed venue. For some fields in CS, this is mostly ACM and IEEE conferences. The more theoretical sides of CS tend towards the journals.

There is a problem in that it would encourage people to provide reviews as a service, and you then have a problem of filtering out who would be a good reviewer, which might be interpreted as bias.

I agree that something needs to be done though. I've been thinking of the similarities between publications and web pages a la page-rank. There are a lot of parallels, not just in content but also with respect to who has contributed and who has helped to review the paper. I've often wondered why Google Scholar doesn't take advantage of this. I do suppose though that there's no money in it. Who wants to see ads in/around their article? There's a viable non-profit model here maybe.
How not to do technical writting
With the old BlackBerry browser, MDS did image re-compressions using the Slipstream image libraries, and javascript pre-compilation for the ecma engine. It helped, but only so much. Reducing image sizes turns out to not be applicable all that often, unless you're not letting the user zoom in to 1:1 size. Degrading image quality (invisible to the average human eye) helps though.

If all they're doing is network stuff then there's nothing new here, and I doubt their gains will be very noticeable. I was hoping for something more involved.
adii ftw!
> I meant to say "in general performance", i.e. of a complete application. Micro benchmarks mean less than nothing in that case.

Could you give me some info on why you think there isn't a performance edge "these days"?

Or are you making the point that all these languages are "fast enough" and so a perf difference between them isn't important for real-world use?

> Blender (3D modeling application) is written in it.

I'm surprised that the performance-critical parts are in python. Do you know if the rendering etc is in python or is it at python UI on a C core?
Considering the pseudonym policy they have in place, I like to think of it as Google Minus.
Autonomy is a public company, hence most of that data is probably already public -- I'm not an expert but at a glance I couldn't spot any particularly juicy "private" detail. These decks look mostly stock, good for any "introduction to my company" type of presentation... except for the very last slide, which shows a list of company valuations at various "Premium" share prices, i.e. clearly geared towards potential buyers.

I don't know why Ellison and Hurd are shooting this out right now, especially considering how their "Great Satan" Apotheker has already been fired. I wonder if they're trying to undermine Mike Lynch for some specific reason (like forcing Whitman to rethink HP's "enterprise software" move, which is a direct threat to Oracle, by dropping Autonomy), they're just doing it for fun (Apotheker is a long-standing enemy in Larry's eyes, first at SAP and then at HP, and he's been humiliated in any possible way), or they simply won't tolerate being called liars (which is hard to believe, considering the sort of sharks they are).
I think $250 for a decent domain AND a decent logo is a steal given the quality of both and the time savings they present.
Isn't that the defining characteristic of all SaaS and web product-based companies?
Now all we need is a place where you can put brandless but fully implemented tech solutions. e.g. "sms to e-mail technology".

That brings us to the final piece of the puzzle: a site where you can invest in a "team" that has no idea and no technology.

Then the guys who walk around with bags of money evaluating teams and business propositions will finally be able to just mix and match to whatever they want, thinking (as they already do) that they're the ones adding all the value. Which, to be fair, under capitalism they probably do.
For instance, academic success is about 60% socio-economical background, 15% professors, which lets only 25% to individual variation. Similar data can be found in many domains, like the importance of geography on a country economic success, etc.
Version control for schematics is cool.

I don't really get what they're saying with "visual diffs". Normal practice is to have a side-bar with a list of differences between versions. That makes it pretty clear what was added or removed. Using colours kind of fails because (for just a two sided PCB) you have two copper sides, one (maybe two) component sides, and these already use a bunch of different colour.

Whatever you do with "visual diffs" needs to work in monochrome - you have people working with traditional blueprints, or with mono printers. Heck, you still (in the 21st century!) have people using fax machines.

This all sounds really negative, but it isn't. It's a great idea, I just hope they can make it work.
There is a small detail however that probably warrants the abolition of this "working system that has served science for decades": thanks to the Internet, distribution costs are kinda non-existent now.

And I tend to think that, where sharing costs you nothing, the socialist dream is quite possible.
If this is true, I was wondering when this was going to happen. US companies have long since outsourced their technology to be built. In a lot of these Third World countries production materials and labor are extremely cheap. It will only be a matter of time before these companies began manufacturing their own products to sell to us therefore cutting out the middleman. Although I'm not a fan of huge multinational corporations, this could be detrimental to them thereby being detrimental to us. And we can easily see the economies of the world shift.
I used to think of it in terms of Star Trek until I (recently, thanks to HN :)) read Cory Doctorow's "Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom" story about Bitchun Society, in which death and energy are not a problem, economy is based on reputation and today's luxuries are theirs basic rights. Interesting book, BTW :).
I'm guessing it's mostly Mark Hurd (Oracle president and ex-HP CEO) trying to look good by pointing out that he did refuse to buy Autonomy because the price he was discussing with them was overpriced in his opinion whereas HP bought them for almost twice the price.

It's basically Mark Hurd getting back at HP in the most pathetic way I've ever seen.

I find it ridiculous that companies operating at this level waste their time with things like this when they clearly have bigger issues on their hands. No wonder Oracle is struggling if this is where they are focused.
The price can seem a little high but it's a fixed price. No guessing, no haggling, no uncertainty. Just pick one you like and go.

I wonder if you'd consider locking in the matching Twitter, YouTube, etc. names as well. I'm afraid that if you don't now unscrupulous people will start scanning the site and picking those up.
According to Ars Technica's article on Silk, it is possible to turn off the split browsing mode and use Silk as a regular web browser, so people who have privacy issues with this can turn it off.
The question we ought to ask ourselves is this:

Is making a similar feature or technology bad for innovation and competition?

Because I'm pretty sure Google didn't just start deconstructing and reverse engineering Microsoft's products to make Android.

I don't think "patents" should be licensed. Only actual working products and services - like ActiveSync for example, or the AMOLED display technoogy, and so on. Not these "patents" that no company that will license them will use the "inventions" in them to further build their own products.

Licensing should happen because you want that technology in your product, not because you're afraid of being sued. The current system is completely messed up.
I don't get why Microsoft doesn't mind that the world's impression of doing business with them is that a month later they will be consolling you with "Well, at least you can view this as a lesson learned."
Yes, creating positive experiences for yourself is a good way to increase your self-confidence and get more inspired. Nobody wants to get rejected, but you may eventually turn getting rejected into something positive. Always good to get reminded of that.
That's a symptom that startups possibly became a new fashion.

Now the following is a bit offtopic, but the thoughts are what I have in mind for quite a time.

Look how many startups are there around whose only purpose is to connect or extract information from other startups whose again are build on the top some previous startups. Where is a stop for this? Where's the creativity? Where's the thinking of making things that people really need?

This looks like a rant but please think of it analytically:

1. People start to use product A because it fills some temporary niche.

2. The conditions of the niche vanish, but the product is still used, the user base grows because of inertia, marketing, whatever.

3. As the initial conditions dissolved the product A isn't exactly what people need at the moment, so there emerge products B & C built on the top of A with even more fragile conditions: only to support momentary lack of desired features in A.

Any similarity with existing startup scene?

Well, what if all these products were build based on some more unconditional needs of the users in the first place?
