Apple gives you only 90 days to register a name, and in fact, posting a fake binary to iTunes to hold the name is a violation of the ToS.

Frankly, it sounds like they beat you to market. It doesn't sound like they copied your name at all. (You'd have had to release the App for that claim to stick.)

Come up with a different name. If the idea is good, it won't be a big problem.
Personally, I would rather an ENOENT error. Seems ... fitting, somehow.

Well, either that or the Windows error STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND.
I guess you're talking about Find My Friends.

Apple either doesn't check or just doesn't care; see "iTV", "iPhone", and "IOS".

At this point you cannot go to market with the existing name. If you think your app is worth less than the cost of changing the name (really?) then admit to yourself that you weren't serious anyway and abandon it.

For me it's the learning aspect of a startup. I had a great job for a really fantastic company but I quickly realized that there's a "ceiling" to the amount of learning you can do in one role/position. To continue learning/growing, you'd have to get a new role/position. Lot of time and bureaucracy goes into that role change. My previous employer was mid-sized and there was a lot of flexibility. They encouraged and empowered employees to get exposure to various parts of the company. But for me, learning is not structural and it shouldn't be contained by the role.

I LOVE being part of a startup because everything is so hands-on and the learning has been exponential. In 1 week I've easily learned more than I would have 1 month on a company job.

That to me is worth it. No matter what happens, I'll walk away with a lot more knowledge and courage than I had before.

Any chance we could get the guy who did the Steve Jobs Apple logo to take a wack at doing one for Dennis?

I've never met Dennis but I've talked to him on the phone a bit, and exchanged a pile of email over the years, all about various Unix topics. Though I was nobody, he was always polite, always patient, always willing to pass on knowledge. I'm quite grateful to him for taking the time to exchange ideas and polish them.

bwk is the same way. We were working on extending awk to be, well, different (we made awk scripts be part of awk, so any statement could be a script and it could pipe to another script). I talked bwk about the idea and asked if I could do on top of his awk and the next day a tarball showed up of ~bwk/awk, had the source, all the regressions, the source the awk book, everything.

I love these guys, they did a lot of things I admire.

You are of course correct. Countries that have banned it cite the welfare of the animal rather than human health as well.

Of course the only industrialized nation to use rbgh is the USA. To be honest, I find it rather interesting that so much of the world seems to care so much about cows. My take is if the health of the animal is reduced, it probably stands to reason that the byproducts of said animal is probably worth avoiding.

> The biggest challenge seems to be that there is a very limited amount of information available.

Not only that, but there are trivial ways of gaming it. I've seen a number of apps in the bestselling categories with four or five star reviews, but when you look at the actual reviews they're all one star because the app promises abilities that aren't possible. They just release a point version and use Mechanical Turk to pay a few people to review.

I don't understand why Apple doesn't make reviews a rolling average instead of resetting it entirely with a new release.
I don't think I've ever seen an open source project so loudly pronounce what it was going to do before it did anything at all. (Not since okopipi promised to replace blue frog, anyway. Who remembers that? open source! peer to peer! how can it fail?!) Live by the buzz, die by the buzz.

I own a popular blog, and Google Analytics shows 3x-4x the unique visitors Compete does. So, while I would say that yes, their stats tend to be inaccurate, that's still an alarming trend for InDinero.

(Update: I also compared to my startup's site, and GA shows 10x the visitors that Compete does. But still, even if off by a factor of 10, that's not great traffic for such a high-profile startup.)
You'll probably want to present it in a way that integrates real-life examples.

For example, I didn't see the value of functional programming during college, or at least it wasn't emphasized to me in a way which made me interested in it. It's only been the last couple of years in which I realize how valuable it is -- I started looking more into it as I saw companies like Twitter latch onto Scala.

So it's probably helpful to give them an idea of what sort of problems computer science is solving in the real world -- whether it's how Google uses MapReduce to process their huge datasets (and what that data is used for) or how integral computer science has been in the field of biology (with fields like bioinformatics). Talking about Facebook and how they use technology is sure to get them interested, or at least, keep their attention

I'm curious as to how you arrived at the assertions you made.
It's not that the app is worth less than the cost of changing the name. Though right now it seems a bit worthless to try and compete with Apple.

It's the fact that I thought I had made my intentions very clear of my intent to use the brand with Apple through iTunesConnect. Apart from releasing it I did everything else. Just feels like Apple didn't even care to look and it makes me question developing for their platform.

I kinda thought that the whole iOS platform was perfect for the little guys without needing the hassle of the cover your ass lawyers. Guess I was wrong, lesson learned the hard way.
When I was a student a professor joked that computer science wasn't really a science because all its founders were still alive. Well, now it certainly must be one.

So long as the motion blur is a small enough angle/translation, the difference is only in the shape of the blurring kernel. The kernel will be circular or gaussian for out of focus, while a line or arc for motion.

In one dimension, you'll be looking at a slice (more accurately, a summed projection) of the kernel. Focus = guassian, motion = square wavelet (line) or irregular (arc)

Have you?

Are you saying it’s not necessarily slower to use JS to generate CSS on the client-side, compared to just serving up the CSS with all prefixes included in the first place? Do we really need a test case for that? I’m not even talking about your code or anything; just the general idea.

In general, it’s a bad idea to rely on client-side JavaScript for something that can be done without. PrefixFree is no exception.

I can see how PrefixFree can be useful for quick demos or during presentations (the way you use it is awesome!) but when you’re gonna post an article like this on a site like Smashing Magazine _people are gonna use it_ in production as well.

I love your work Lea, you know I do; I just don’t agree with the philosophy behind this particular project.

Dennis Ritchie, 1941-2011
This article reminded me of this podcast I listed to recently:

http://freakonomicsradio.com/hour-long-special-an-economists...

It made many of the same points.
In the wise words of George Carlin: "When does a kid ever get to sit in the yard with a stick anymore?"
The scariest part of the article:

"The researchers found that compared to 1981, children in 1997 spent less time in play and had less free time. They spent [...] 168 percent more time shopping with parents."

Wow. We're teaching our children to be good little consumers, but failing them in the areas that really matter.

Wake up, unplug your TV, and stop going to the mall. For the children.
In essense, the ends justify the means.

I'm pretty sure I don't need to explain the major ethical quandaries that arise from this type of thinking.
Of course we all stand on Mr. Ritchie's shoulders, and it's really just a footnote to all this, but it's my understanding is that Brian Kernighan contributed "hello, world" to 'The C Programming Language' book.

any advice for people considering a move to Amazon but haven't had the benefit of internship or view from the inside. it's clear that group to group variance is enormous - hell on earth vs pretty sweet - but getting clarity on the particular group is key to decision. it's possible to get some of that through the recruiting process but not the same as spending time there.

also curious as to whether the hellishness everyone talks about applies cross-org (eg for PMs, TPMs, etc.) as well as engineers.
Google needs to be more open and helpful for small businesses. A local small business with a new website has huge challenges to overcome.
Amazon is still a great place to learn, if you are willing to take the brunt of operations and don't mind having no life. Dismal working conditions, over-working, heavy operations load (group specific), having no-life, working over holidays, poor line managers, cover-your-ass politics aside - It is one of the few places where you truly get to see how large scale web-based/distributed systems are conceived, built, and operated. It could be a great career launch pad, if you are just out of school. It will be like drinking from a fire-hose. If you are single, and in a good group with the right set of peers then it could work out well for you. If elsewhere is a super hot startup (Quora/Palantir/Dropbox and ilk or good tech companies like Google, FB, Twitter, Linkedin or even Zynga (pre-IPO makes it hot in my opinion) then I would seriously consider the down-sides of working for Amazon, and living in Seattle.

Not the Apple II or the original Mac really (which was all Pascal and 68k ASM). (Lisa definitely took cues from Unix.) Not detracting from Ritchie's contributions, but be fair.

Happy Birthday, Dennis Ritchie (from Penn Jillette)
If a handful of YC companies are truly asking for a $9M or 14M pre... as rumors are flying around in Silicon Valley state... Then, I could see why VC's might say that the market is overpriced and frothy. Especially, since 6 months earlier, those same startups were priced by YC at a $300k pre.

No doubt YC has a phenomenal brand, and does a great job, and has had a couple of impressive rounds raised recently by AirBnb and DropBox.

But, there's a huge segment of the startup ecosystem that doesn't really show up on HN.

MassChallenge is graduating 125 startups next month. Their last batch, last summer has raised $100M in total.

Angel List has helped over 700 startups get funded in the past 18 months.

Startup Chile just seed funded 125, and opened applications open for another 100 startups today.

Then, there's 500 Startups, IO Ventures, RockHealth, AngelPad, StartX, BlockBox, TechStars, etc... And, a number of those startups have raised really impressive rounds, but they don't tend to get the local blog coverage or coverage here on HN.

Who knows... Here's hoping things slow down a bit.
Something simple, but really useful for the map would be to select different areas/location with a marker. Returning to the list view would show the jobs for that area.

The map would be for location search, the list for details. It'd be cool if you could filter the list view. Of course, it'd be great if you didn't have to switch modes from list to map.

Even how it is right now, this is pretty awesome. I'm looking for jobs and I plan to use this alot.
Another post from the family -- this is Penn Jillette's 70th birthday message to Dennis. (Penn, hope you're okay with me posting this. Dennis loved it.)
Right, and my point is that the JVM way only fits a narrow range of use cases. Primarily long running server side processes.
But Dennis didn't wear black turtlenecks everyday so obviously he's less important.

</sarcasm>
I you have ever used a computer or any programming language , it means that you used some thing that has Dennis Ritchie's impact.
Preface: I would like to take the liberty of starting a thread of discussion about the technical merits of the press release. Any non technical concerns can be posted under someone else's comment please.

What does this mean for a me as a hacker?

Someone brought up the huge benefit of large scale deployment. I think that's a very interesting point. If Cloudant can get their system to scale to meet their large customer's needs, the overall experience for all clients should be streamlined.

How would such a big client affect their pricing? Would they be able to price the lower tiers more aggressively?

What other side effects does this press release have for their customers?
Fair enough, that's a valid question. I arrived at my assertion by looking at the financials. http://investor.google.com/financial/2005/tables.html

Google make the vast majority of their money through ads (no surprise). Adwords didn't take off until they acquired Applied Semantics (for semantic processing) and Sprinks (contextual aware ads). It may have existed pre-acquisitions, but it didn't look anything like the current version, and wasn't anywhere near as profitable.
To answer the question you actually asked: try Project Wonderful, which works very well for small publishers. 300 hits per day should get you some reasonable ad prices.

However, I'd also suggest looking into alternative sources of funding, or alternatively just treating it as a hobby. Also note that numerous video downloaders already exist; "send to Dropbox" does not necessarily make yours stand out, and it will cost you quite a bit of bandwidth.

You might also look into hosting which provides unmetered bandwidth, such as gandi.net.
