I have to say, like everything, if you don't have the right tools, or even know how to use them, your life can be difficult. It's why you hire people.

Another aspect is you need to know what it is you're looking at expecially when you look at examples. That means not just knowing how it was placed on the page or what the file type is, but what effort was required to build it.

Those are pretty much the ground rules - take it from someone who studied art and design and spent 7 years as an art director.

if you are looking at a png image for example, was that png image generated from a vector program like Adobe illustrator or Inkscape, or was it a sample from a bigger image or has it been put together pixel-by-pixel in photoshop, or was it sketched out by someone and scanned or is it a photograph? What part do gradients, layers, blending media play in it? What possibilitites does CSS3 give us to reproduce some common effects... I could go on. A good artist will know the answer to that within a few seconds.

The best thing I could recommend is get yourself a friend who does that stuff for a living, then get them excited in what you are doing. Then, drop the question...

Good news for web support improvement. probably still a long way to go to reach iOS advancement. I hope we reach it ;)
Even if the roulette ball drops into the slot 00, the play was still a "big risk", and so was, under the circumstances, insisting on a cofounder. That is, given how much Drew had already done, a cofounder had to be mostly just downside risk. The 'mitigation' had to be minimal.

Or, Drew's left hand doesn't fight with his right hand, but cofounders can easily fight.

If a cofounder is really needed, then so be it. But a cofounder is always risky, and a single founder who has already done well starting the business has a big advantage just because his left hand won't fight with his right hand.

Now a single founder can do much more than in past years, even just five years ago.

And here's a big point: always in a startup very much want the CEO to 'understand his business'. In an IT software startup, that includes understanding the software. But software has now changed: E.g., with .NET, nearly everything needed in commercial computing, and a larger fraction of Web site construction, is already in the .NET classes. So, the work is just writing a little 'glue' code between the uses of the classes. So, the coding goes VERY quickly. But what doesn't go quickly is understanding the classes because need about 10 books each of 500-1000 pages and, even for just a Web site, about 3000 Web pages of documentation from MSDN. And, this understanding of .NET is just 'overhead' that have to pay just once per programming task solved with a .NET class actually understand well. So, to 'know his business', a CEO needs to know the relevant parts of, say, .NET. A cofounder can't help here. And once the CEO does have that .NET knowledge, there can be some serious question if a cofounder can add much. Just what the Linux world has in place of .NET I don't know, but it can't be both small and effective.

There is other evidence: Look up and down Main Street at the successful businesses that have been started there. Typically there's only one person who is the real 'founder'. Look at research: Bright ideas come first to just one person at a time. Period. Microsoft: A Bill Gates show. Apple: A Steve Jobs show. Berkshire: A Warren Buffett show. Renaissance: A James Simons show. Continue with the one man shows of Kolmogorov, von Neumann, Knuth, etc. and in music Heifetz, Rostropovich, Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, etc.

It's tough enough to find a Michelangelo to paint the ceiling. Getting him a 'copainter' who would actually help would be impossible. As you add people to a team, the team regresses to the mean where you don't want to be. And, did I mention fights? Sorry 'bout that.

Does anyone know of a site which returns nothing but your IP address in text/plain when hit with a GET request?

Such a thing would be useful for scripting purposes.
Unless it's using javascript to show you your own IP, I don't even know how it would be possible for a server on the internet to know your internal IP.
Part of the complaint is that even those who don't use Facebook or opt in to its terms (like me) are still publicly tagged in photos (without my consent) and tracked across the internet (through "like" buttons).

So while I agree, simply avoiding Facebook doesn't solve the problem.
I've never noticed laggy scrolling and I don't even have a current gen phone (Droid X). Perhaps your friends have other reasons for not considering it...

No doubt it's a thin phone, but it's only 7mm at the thinnest point. As Gruber pointed out that's like saying the Macbook Air is 3mm thick.
Wait - how is this a tax on financial institutions/"the super rich" exactly? FTA: "The tax proposes a 0.05% levy on all financial transactions and has the potential to raise hundreds of billions yearly to support initiatives to help those most affected by the recession. In short, a 0.05% tax on the super-rich to help ease the effects of the recession on the poorest sections of society."

The banks will, of course, add at least 0.05% price changes so that their users have to pay 0.05% more. I don't see how this has anything to do with the "super rich".
I doubt they spend an enormous amount of money repeating programs.

This seems like a case of some things being features, not applications. Entire web sites build just to report your IP back were probably going to be replaced by one thing or another, eventually.

Both Google and Apple (and most other companies) are smart enough to see that if a simple feature is heavily used and the experience of using it can be improved for their users, they may want to make it a "native" part of their products. Let's face it, this is a better experience for that search, and you can still go to the indie sites if what you need isn't covered by it.

The end of the camera industry != no cameras, it really means that standalone cameras are reduced to a niche market serving enthusiasts only.

Will that happen? Seems likely, given current trends - phone cameras like the 4S are (nearly?) good enough now, I think.

That all depends on the price. If the price is reasonable then fine. But typically big pharma that gets a lock-in on 'life' is anything but reasonable in their pricing, after all, what's the value of a human life.

Related: the two first Galileo satellites (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_(satellite_navigation)) will be launched tomorrow.

Remember, if the answer is delivered with HTTP, the reported IP may be the IP of your ISP's transparent proxy server. If you want the IP of your NAT box, you need a what-is-my-IP where the response is delivered over HTTPS.
I think it could be useful if the camera has a zero shutter lag as it is in the nexus. A scenario coming to my mind is maybe hands-free interaction with voice commands while driving. Anyway, it don't think locking a phone has a security connotation here, but it is a way to avoid any accidental launch of application/typing.
Clojure provides function arity overloading and varargs, so automatic partial application is out. It's a tradeoff that Clojure alleviates by providing a lightweight function literal:

(map #(* % 2) [1 2 3])

An added advantage of Clojure's approach is that it's not limited to partial application on the last argument.

To provide implicit partial application or arity overloading and varargs is a fundamental shift in the way that the language operates. However, the gap between (in the direction Clojure->Shen only) one and the other is 2 characters, or a mapp macro like Alex showed. I'd make that trade any day of the week.
For some reason this keeps getting flagged: it's disappointing that HN is evidently not willing to allow a counterpoint to a multi-billion dollar search company on the front page; on the one hand there's a submission with 70-some points that shows Google offers this functionality on the other we apparently can't also point out Duck Duck Go is equally capable. Personally I think that Duck Duck Go deserves more attention than it gets.

Bill Gates had Paul Allen, Steve Jobs had Steve Wozniak and Warren Buffett had Charlie Munger. You can argue that one-half of these duos produced more than the other but would they have been able to without the support of the other half?
>current events updates (never Wikipedia's strong suit in the first place)

I disagree. Whenever there is something big happening, after a couple of days it gets really difficult to follow just from the news (e.g. the Japanese tsunami, Arabian spring). I always go to Wikipedia and get a reasonably good overview with up to date information. I guess it only works for the really high profile events which interest the editors though...

on the other hand everyone will tell you "its a phone not a DSLR its normal that it auto processes"
then tell you "look its as good as the DSLR!"

annoying ain't it :-)

But most importantly, this comparison is just bad. The key picture is taken differently with different light and different settings even on the camera

they're doing their best to hide the reality: a DSLR, even on all auto is far better than the 4S or any other phone, and its easy to see, on "regular" pictures, even for novices, the difference is huge.
I fully agree with idea to build your product as long as possible without 3rd party's help. As for me, I don't think that's the bad idea to apply for this YC round. Why not to try? Valley is briliant place for startup to be, for meeting with awesome people.... why not?
If there's one piece of framework Wikipedia needs, it's a centralized database for citations. That database should contain every book, article, poem, etc. that's cited in any Wikipedia article, and I should be able to re-cite an entry with a single number or tag...without having to re-enter the name of the darn publisher myself.

How much money would it take to make this happen?
Let's hope they start with the actual costs of manufacturing, and not tack on 24 years of research and the cost of large scale clinical trials.

GSK has a mixed history when it comes to stuff like this, let's hope they do the right thing here. I note they didn't say the doses will cost at most 'x' (which they should have a pretty good idea of by now).
It appears that not only has code been written, it's been publically deployed and used for social networking. I'd say that's a fair step beyond "nothing to show for it."
Career Advice by Scott Adams(Dilbert)
It qualifies as a "fictional" language because Colin is right: it's just an alternative encoding of the English translation. There's no nuance to it at all, even the Star Wars "language" Mando'a (or however you spell it) is better. Mando'a isn't high on my list because it's not really a language, just an English lexicon of alternative spellings. But at least there are rules to the composition of the words!

Sorry to geek out for a second, I've been studying conlangs and considering making one. I suggest use of a real word generator, like my Werd script[1] (a translation of the original), that generates words based on rules.

In mid 90s I worked for a company that developed combined GPS/GLONASS receiver and aimed specifically at high-precision measurement market. With clever math modeling and by letting a receiver rest on one spot for longer periods of time, e.g. 30 min, they could get the precision down to 3 mm (millimeters). And that's without A-GPS, purely through oversampling of satellite data.
This is hardly news. See the same video from 2006:

Okay, tried it. Very nice app, wonderful features - but the latency is terrible. I hope we see some improvements in this regard, otherwise iOS will always rule this realm.

Wikipedia is Web 2.0. User generated content online, crowd sourced, the whole lot. However for sources, they only look at early 20th centuary tech, like newspapers or books. They don't value internet sources nearly as much.
Sure - the front end is basically a Rails based custom CMS that allows us to write content in 'RubyMonk flavoured' HAML.

One way they might improve on this could be that it takes 3 pictures and makes sure that there was some slight movement in the person being ID'ed.

It's still wouldn't be secure, but it'd mean attackers would need a video of you instead of a simple facebook photo.

Main concern would be slowing down the user.

From personal experience the community at large is eager to move to Python 3. It has more to do with tremendous inertia generated by critical components being tricky to port to Python 3. Usual suspects Django and Twisted come to mind. IIRC NumPy gained support only recently.

The Wall of Shame gives a very partial overview of the situation: http://python3wos.appspot.com/

It does not help that useful stuff from 3.x get backported to 2.x or available via __future__, and that IMHO Python 2.7 is awesome so the urge is not quite there (well, not as much as working with Ruby 1.8 when you tasted 1.9)
Just for accuracy? What exactly does this mean (why is it on top of HN).
A similar approach (setting up your own CalDav server) might work for lots of other todo/reminder sites. Furthermore, I wonder if there are any other types of services which could be integrated with Siri in this manner
I guess the Forbes bloggers are in need of material..? Although that said I can't say the articles were particularly bad. Maybe it is a stretch to continue to focus on the same article after it's been published as a feature. Certainly if nothing new and significant is being added it's a bit of a waste.
I am not sure on a release date, but it has been said that they will be releasing the source code for ICS, unlike what they did for Honeycomb.
Thank you vaidy, we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the support of folks like yourself, and the awesome Ruby community in general.
I'm wondering whether it actually matters to people whether their GPS device has 2, 4 or 7m accuracy. Anything with lower resolution than about 5 cm is going to be largely useless for robotic driving, etc, particularly anything worse than 2 m res - so really (and not meaning to be rude to you and your research efforts) - isn't the different resolution irrelevant, and isn't the only reason GPS users should be happy about GLONASS integration is redundancy (especially in the rare military event that the US decides to switch public GPS off?)

Should we give NO3 Chrome a thumbs down? That is, of course, just in my own humble opinion. Nobody is going to sense less of you if you do that. It can be one of the easiest game plans to get NO3 Chrome to be less commonplace.

I pay you money to perform a service, you take the money then you tell me you won't do that service for 6 months. If it had happened to me, I'd be quite angry. This is what Paypal is doing.

I understand their overall procedure to avoid abuse, absolutely; but Diaspora is a somewhat famous project, an absolutely legit operation. You can say what you want on their deliverables, but it doesn't matter: PayPal got a nice cut out of donations to a public and very well-documented project, then turned around and said they'll keep it all for an extra 6 months.

That's not cool.

Symptoms for headaches

I think there’s a few points here and although some replies have very valid points others completely stray from the issues that "Europe vs facebook" is making.

1. Facebook has bases, and operates, in Europe. Thus they MUST abide by our data laws. This means that, under our European laws they MUST supply ALL information they have on people. Currently this is not being done and as such they are breaking the law by not providing ALL information they hold on people. If they want to have HQ's in Europe and want Europeans to use their service they must abide by our laws, this is regardless if we as a user decide to sign up or not. These laws cannot at anytime be waived REGARDLESS if it is indeed us as Europeans deciding to use their service.

2. Quite simply, if they offer the option of "deleting" posts/likes/mails, then they should do just that, delete it. Anything other than this and they are quite blatantly misleading users.

3. They SHOULD NOT be gathering information on ANYONE who does not use their service. This is not legal and should not be allowed to happen. The old saying "knowledge is power" comes to mind, but these "big corporations" should not be able to gather data on people who have no connection what-so-ever to their company/services. Britain recently has been rocked by such scandals as phone hack etc aswell as the big argument about Google cars collecting data from wireless networks that they were not authorised to do so from. Is facebook gather information on people who have no connection to them any different from hacking someone’s phone and listening to their messages? Or any different from a Google car passing your home and gathering information for your wireless network? My opinion is that it isnt any different. New of the world have had to pay out massive amount of compensation to the people who could prove that their phones were hacked. It is a breach of privacy and more importantly, THE LAW. Google also had to agree to delete all information gathered by its Google cars as this was deemed to be illegally collected.

Facebook should be made to adhere to our laws if they wish to be present in our countries. Thus they should be made to supply ALL information held on people who make subject access requests, they should delete all e mails/post/likes that have been deleted by the original (or any recipicants) and should also delete ALL information they have gained about people who no longer/have never used their service.

I joined facebook when it first came out as would say i was pretty young and naive, I didnt read all the agreements etc and certainly didn’t know what I was signing myself up for (alot of which has not came out until recently). If facebook want to use the argument that everyone who signs up agree to their t&c then they should respect the fact that only peoples over the age of 18 should be allowed to join in Europe. (this is currently not the case with children as young as 8 and their pet dogs having profiles)....

Facebook cant have it all their own way and must respect the laws of the land, PERIOD.
