Ask HN: Why are more Startups using Python over Ruby?
It was just an observation I noticed with job postings, and meeting early stage startups. Is there a reason why Python + a framework has become more prevalent over Rails?
Ohio State launches WakeUp StartUp for informal business pitches
> That's just a meaningless assertion.

Whether something is marketable is meaningful. US bonds are traded on an open market. The securities issued to the SSA cannot be sold on this market or to anyone.

If APPL issued me a promised to pay me back for pizza last night I have... a promise. But if they issue me a bond I could turn around and sell it the next day, depending on whether I trusted APPL or had better uses for my money.

The securities issued to the SSA are functionally equivalent to "IOU"s.

> Is buying bonds a "plain ol' tax?"

The SSA has tons of assets, in non-marketable bonds. What's the point of an asset that can't be sold? It's just an accounting detail. If the bonds never existed the situation would not be functionally different.

Steve Jobs Vowed to 'Destroy' Android
When Sony dumped its BroadBand eBook (BBeB) format, it transparently replaced books in that format with ePub for everyone who bought books in that other format. I think Amazon will do the same as books are moved to the new format. As Amazon keeps saying, your books exist on your bookshelf and can be re-downloaded any time. No big deal to switch the formats. For those with older Kindles, they could warn them the new format won't work. Since every Kindle has to be registered with Amazon, they know who has which generation of device.
It's not iOS that knows, it's the App. That only happens when you have the app open.
F5 Friday: Cookie Cutter vApps Realized
The way to beat the freeze is social circles. This is true of any city, but very important in Seattle.

In Seattle, the way to make friends is to join a group activity; whether that is school, work, a social club like Seattle Anti-Freeze, or a social sports club like kickball, hiking or running. Friends of friends is also huge. Seattleites are very insular—whether individually or in a group. They have their friends and don't need any more. That is to say, they already have so much fun with their current friends that they don't have energy for more. So to make friends, you have to already be in the group. You really have to be already "invited" because school or work dictates it. And you really have to be persistent. All my friends are from work, school or friends of friends. You don't meet random people in Seattle.

I recently moved from Seattle to DC and the social scene here is bad for other reasons, namely "what can you do for me?" Everyone is networking and trying to get ahead. No one just wants to hang out.
I think the last one (manufacturers providing updates) is the most important and is probably why Android is doomed in the long run: because carriers do not appear to care about updates at all.

Having a device with Android 2.1 was cool for about a few months until it became clear that it would never, ever be upgraded again. I have since moved to an iPhone and am overjoyed that it is updated regularly (probably because it is Apple, not the lazy carriers, who decides when an update is allowed). Sure, Apple eventually drops old hardware too, but at least they wait years to do that and in between there are several really substantial improvements.
I think the truth is that the absolute number, along with density are both important. That's why Boulder - apparently 70% more entrepreneurial than Silicon Valley - cannot really claim to be better than SV, which has an entrepreneurial population 15 times larger.

You don't know that yet. The scripters and Calibre author will figure it all out.
It doesn't have to be a slow function either, it could just be a function that's getting called a ridiculous number of times.

Back at Electric Cloud I was working on debugging an apparently live locked build process using our tool (this was back in 2004) where make would run forever with the CPU pegged.

It turned out that the particular build tree structure (at the file level) was somewhat pathological for our tool and we were traversing the tree a ridiculous (exponential) number of times relative to its size. We were doing this to constantly calculate a value that depended on sub-tree size.

After ages trying to narrow down the bug I just went into the debugger and broke in to look at a particular data structure. After doing this a few times I noticed that I was always in the same function.

Memoizing the function fixed the problem.
Same reason rails was hot last year: fashion.
It would be interesting to see an explicit example of

"In the area of query planning and optimization, I found that at some point I hit a wall with what I could do in Java. There was latent abstraction that I understood but could not express in the code."
I don't think considered posts do eliminate the true feeling.

They eliminate the visceral, immediate reaction but that's only one part of the truth. If you're angry (or happy) at someone that's certainly a true feeling but is it any truer than the way you feel 10 minutes later when you've calmed down a bit and considered things?

If a colleague irritates me and I shout at him sure that's a representation of part of what I feel at that moment, but it doesn't represent the fact that ultimately I respect them and they normally do great work. So is shouting at them really my true feeling or just one small element of it that ultimately doesn't represent what I feel very well at all?

Ultimately though I think you have to ask yourself what am I try to achieve, how is what I'm going to say going to achieve that and am I happy that it really does represent "the truth" or is it just a knee jerk reaction (good or bad).
I first heard about duckduckgo just last week. So far I really like it. Non-techie wife switched over to it, mainly due to sheer frustration with typical Google search results...

Five Essential Phone-Screen Questions
Ask HN: I need career advice
I’m currently finishing up my last year of pharmacy school and could really use some advice on what to do next. I initially started my education with the intention of returning home to work for my dad, who owns/operates a rather successful business (revenue = low 8 figures). However, throughout the last 6 years of school I have become increasingly enamored with tech, and have started to toy with the idea of trying to join a startup in the spring. I worked in sales to put myself through school, and am pretty confident I could handle a biz dev role at a healthcare related startup.

To complicate matters, it looks like an opportunity may present itself to open a new pharmacy almost immediately after graduation (unique situation - would be guaranteed yearly revenue of $20m+). I feel like it would be incredibly dumb to pass up this opportunity, but I am a bit wary about moving home immediately without trying other things, as I don’t want to have regrets 15 years down the line (when packing up and uprooting a family won’t really be an option).

If anyone can shed some light on my decision I would really appreciate it. I’ve been mulling it over for a couple months now and really can’t seem to come to a consensus.
Don't relocate, bootstrap :)
Interview With The Data Addict
Really, only those engaging in magical thinking and unfamiliar with the way Amazon works expected Amazon to adopt ePub. I never did and said so repeatedly.
Very interesting, but I don't think it's cause for editorializing in the title. If we find it sweet, then we'll think "sweet" all by ourselves.
The answer to your question is that presumably they're not as bothered by Flash as you are, so don't feel the need to rush a transition.
FYI, UK introduced a "startup visa" this April.
Money is one issue, time is another.

In most US jurisdictions, dozens of entities have the ability to say "no" to a development project. In states that are actively hostile to business, like New York or California, there may be hundreds of people or groups that can slow down projects.

Examples: Local Zoning Board; Whomever controls permits for running utilities; State/local environmental boards (Lots and lots of $$$ permits); Land speculators ("building a factory in this industrial park will ruin the views from XXX piece of land that we own"); Historical preservation maniacs. ("That collapsing house was was rented by Richard Nixon's maid"); Local politicians ("Oh, you need to build a 200,000 square foot building? Our master plan was modified last week -- buildings are capped at 150,000 square feet.); Local politicians in neighboring municipalities. ("Your project will generate too much traffic"); Local real property tax boards.; State politicians; Local construction unions. (Who will sabotage your project if you don't play along.); State Labor Departments, acting as agents for the construction unions.; Environmental pressure groups. ("Your stormwater mitigation strategy is insufficient, you're getting sued"); Federal regulators.

In New York, things are so bad that any significant project is essentially done under the aegis of the state government, usually via a public authority. The government provides funding, and can cut through some of the red tape, since the State is not subject to local zoning law. But there are usually strings attached, and the process takes years.

In China or Brazil, you basically partner with a connected local, and build your factory in a few months.
"telling them to sue the agency"

This sounds bad in a soundbite, but this is the way the system works.

Consider this loose example: suppose 2 people get into a fight. One guy really beats up another guy, and the cops are called. If the recipient refuses to press charges, the cops can't do anything.

Similarly, a lot of government agencies can't proactively do something, until someone sues them. By getting sued, they get to act on the complaint, and the legal opinion can be used to justify similar action elsewhere.

There is no nefarious purpose here; it is disingenuous to claim so. Yes, government agencies have issues galore; but by conflating the necessary with the rest, we fail to identify the real problems.
I was going to bring this up. I don't follow the hardware scene at all unless I'm buying parts.

I bought a fairly cheap OCZ SSD, but they don't have quite the best reputation (anecdotal evidence). I've read stories about SSDs not lasting long in general, but OCZ seems to have a fairly poor track record among that and an even poorer customer service record. One story I caught was the change of manufacturing for one of their lines of SSDs which affected performance and presumably cut costs without notifying consumers of the change.

I wonder how the acquisition of a controller company will affect their 'power' so to speak.
Agreed. Not just in other countries, but many rural areas of the US. There are some incredibly talented people out there that may not be able to move for one reason or another. How do we bring these startup hub advantages to everyone?
>So, if Bitcoin actually becomes ubiquitous, as are the creator's goals, do the creators come out millionaires?

Billionaires, actually. It is one of my biggest problems with BTC.
I completely agree. Your customers will be your best source of funding.
[Even though this app apparently doesn't open itself automatically] it's occurred to me before that there's a lot of potential for apps/web apps that do run automatically (after asking for permission, of course) when you get onto to a business's wifi. Menu's in restaurants, searchable maps in big department stores, bar code scanning apps for products (of course, with reviews), etc. etc. etc.

-edited to add the stuff that's in brackets
Steve Jobs was initially opposed to apps
It's a bit unavoidable for people to think of how Steve would approach products and that's not a bad thing.

I think what Jobs is doing here though is pointing out that anyone saying "What Would Steve Do" is really just admitting they don't know what the fuck to do. Or saying "Steve wouldn't like X" is a cheap copout when you can't give more concrete reasons why X is bad.

Interestingly, in the recent big Scott Forstall profile it was said he often used the "Steve wouldn't like that" refrain.
He gives a nice presentation, but this has been tried a million times and failed each time because you can't get context from text; it has to be data.

And if it's data, then that's the semantic web. And now the problem has gone from something impossible that millions have tried to something monstrously hard that millions have tried; but still you need something new, some secret sauce, other than that it's you who's working on it. (And that applies to everyone.)
Steve Jobs left designer Jony Ive more power than anyone at Apple
This one doesn't run automatically though, from what I can read. It only works if you're using the "Apple Store" app already.

The title is nonsense.
Well, I will get down voted for this, but it's hardly magic, nor is it something entirely new. Provided wifi is turned on, the Nook Color will automatically log into the network located within a Barnes and Nobles store, and the store app there will gain additional functionality, like the ability to access all of B&N ebooks for free.
Still, this seems like a good idea for device manufacturers.
Well, if staying in school longer (till 6pm, 11 months/year) is such a great idea, why didn't he stay in Reed longer?

And then he left.
Thanks for expanding on your comments. I suspect you're right. I work with a lot of other people in the hustler camp, none of which can write any code at all, and I find it much, much easier to get things done (with my team). When you can sit down with a creator and talk their language -- and understand their challenges -- it's a lot easier to relate to them. As a hustler, you have to know when to advocate for your creator. Nothing brings a creator in to the fold better than having their back in a client/project group meeting.
Also New York. I think I've read people talking about New York having over taken Boston and it being a potential threat to the Valley. But density-wise, I don't think it is fairing (I hope I've used the correct spelling of the word) that well.
If true, then that's a little disappointing. Eventually all mobile devices will do this regardless if the app is open or not.
Automation Of Medical Recording Systems
Automation has been invading the healthcare sector for some time now; however, adoption of fully automated medical recording and transcription services has only been adopted by a rather small percentage of healthcare providers.
Thanks for chiming in, but now I'm confused. Antirez said:

When there are this two levels, storing the first level as a Redis hash, and the second as JSON leads to very good memory usage performances, it is internally stored as a linear array.

I'm reading this to say that memory usage wouldn't be as good if the second level was stored as a hash instead of a JSON blob.

My specific question was: why store the comment as a JSON blob as opposed to a hash? I think Antirez answer was, in a nutshell: because a hash of hashes can't be stored as an array. For news items it doesn't matter because the hash couldn't be stored as an array anyway due to the (anticipated) large number of news items.

Are you saying this interpretation is wrong?
What will (probably) be new in Ruby 2.0?
I would too. Just because he sits on a special chair doesn't put him above me.

Now, I may respect a man for what he's _done_ ; but in Obama's case, that isn't much (ex Obama volunteer & donor here).
> Heck, in a way I'm sure it was great working with him - I bet you always knew where you stood.

Under his shoe.
No, the war brought huge amount of demand for goods from the U.S. Government, which wanted tanks and fighters and artillery shells. This demand created full employment and economic rebound - during the war. Even - gasp! - women were sucked into the labor force.

After the war, the U.S. was in a great position to supply the world, having an economy running at full steam and no war damage to repair. But the Great Depression ended as war began, due to demand for military equipment.
There's also: "It can be played by boys of every age from twelve to one hundred and fifty—and even later if the limbs remain sufficiently supple—by girls of the better sort, and by a few rare and gifted women."

The condition on which boys can play it is that their limbs are supple. Girls can only play it if they are of the better sort, not to mention women - only a few rare and gifted can play it.

It looks like there are some underlying assumptions about the abilities of boys and women. Hm... nope, they do not look much like feminism to me but what do I know.
What feature would improve the web?
He mentions missing Chinese food, but there's a reason there isn't much of the Good Stuff -- it's all up in Richmond, BC. It's just a couple hour drive north over the border, and is a small town just south of Vancouver with a population that I can't confirm, but appears to be roughly 50% Cantonese. Some of the great food there:

- Food courts in the malls. Seriously, Parker Place if you like it "almost a bit too real" and Yaohan Centre if you and the family want to get a mish-mash of dishes.

- Dim Sum Restaurants. They're a little further south on No. 3 Road, closer to the Nordstrom's, but they're big, clean, fresh, and always packed.

- Hot Pot. Seriously, having tried in NY, Chicago, SF, etc. I've never had reasonable Cantonese-style hot pot until there.

- Buddhist Vegetarian. The hours require some planning, but the Internation Buddhist Temple has stunningly amazing vegetarian food. And it's a great site, even for non-Buddhists.

- Tofu dessert! Yes, at least as of a couple of years ago, there's even a late-night tofu dessert shop (better than it sounds, trust me) in the strip mall area buried about a block south of the Yahoan Centre.

My wife's originally from HK and I lived in Seattle for 6 years, so this food knowledge was crucial to a happy marriage...

What SEO Companies Need From Clients
Opening a new pharmacy is a really nice opportunity. You get to see how things work at the moment; you get an idea of what a traditional business is like. You get to see the good things, but more importantly you get to see what sucks. That's great experience.

Also - it's a lot of money. If you lived frugally you'd be able to save a lot of cash, and that's always useful. You never know when you'll need it,or what you'll need it for. But having a nice lump sum does make getting more money easier, and it makes startups easier.

Packing up and moving is always possible. For sure, there are unpleasant things about it. Children lose touch with school friends, spouses have to change jobs, etc. But it's possible, and people do it all the time and they're not damaged by it.

TL;DR - Do the pharmacy thing; Take note about good stuff and suckage, make sure to learn from it; save lots of cash; have lots of ideas and do lots of research; use cash and research for new fun stuff.
You Can’t Win the SEO Race if You Don’t Try
If you calculate backwards from these figures to the absolute size of the community, you find that NYC's startup scene is actually twice as large as San Francisco's. As someone from the NYC area, that doesn't seem plausible.
It's not all about funding... it's about the less tangible benefits of being around other entrepreneurs.

You're right, it's the other way around.
Steve Yegge just might help g+ steal some market share from facebook yet. Every time he releases something like this on g+ I end up spending a few minutes on the site that I would not have otherwise.
I'd love to see one of these in NYC. I'd be keen to help organize it too, if anyone else is interested.
Thanks. I totally forgot about Foursquare :o
Notes have been around for 5+ years and I've never seen them linked as news stories. In contrast, I've seen Google+ updates consistently submitted as news to HN and other sources. There is a significant difference between Google+ updates and Facebook Notes and it's worth thinking about why. I suspect it has to do with the fact that status updates and public posting in Google+ are the same interface. For Facebook, status updates are character limited and you have to click into the Notes tab in order to write something longer.
