Not sure if serious...

We are talking extremely corrupt societies here. Saying that one does not need money at all - would imply that this someone is a member of top of the top of a corrupt regime, thus having anything one would desire available at mere whim (due to sheer terror one's position instills in others).

But for everybody else - money (or another medium of exchange) is essential to get basic services or indeed keep ones liberty or life intact.

What you are saying is that Gang Lords have no need for money, since they will get everything they desire on a whim, while civil people need to trade and barter to get goods and services that they require.

Thus you are painting Yuri as an ascet who deals with insane amounts of money out of sheer joy of helping rich Russian magnates increase their holdings. However according to you he has no other (especially) material goals for himself.

Birds are feathered, winged, bipedal, endothermic (heat-blooded), egg-laying, vertebrate animals. Round 10,000 dwelling species makes them essentially the most speciose class of tetrapod vertebrates.
The cost of retraining thousands of non-technical people coupled with the interim hit on productivity is larger than you think. These costs are potentially inflated by CYA attitudes, but they are real.

What? This article should be titled how to sound sophisticated (possibly pretentious) but not "deep".

You want to talk deep? Think things through. Go for the WHY of everything - from technical systems to relationships to art to everything else you can see, touch, feel, and comprehend. After some time, you will develop basic foundations of why and how systems (technical and people) work. Then you will want to generalize everything into rules and laws. After that into natural laws. Pretty soon you'll be seeking the first principles in everything. Only then can you be deep.

Once you have some understanding of the world around you, you'll want to apply it, test it out. See what works and what doesn't. DO THIS! In fact, this is arguably the basis of an entrepreneurial mindset.

I think a lot of mobile versions are done via a 3rd party service. Separate web app, domain, etc. But it should be possible to make the redirection smart enough to send you to your original destination on the mobile site.

Here is the list of banned sites: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=499044

"The great majority are banned for spamming and/or voting rings. Others (like url shortening services, squidoo, etc) are banned because they're often used by spammers. Others are banned for the reasons I listed in that recent essay: linkjacking, being offtopic, or characteristically being fluff."
I'm sorry you had a bad experience. Were you reporting bugs (eg X doesn't work), or a security vulnerability? Where did you report?
According to Wikipedia, the first mouse was developed by Douglas Engelbart at the Stanford Research Institute in 1963. Regardless, Xerox was paid in pre-IPO Apple stock, so I don't understand why people try to say Apple stole anything from Xerox.
The Difference: Being Successful vs. Going to College
It seems to me that the value in Quicksilver is the advanced operators you can do - for me I only ever used it for launching/file searching and Alfred fills the hole nicely - I don't intend to switch back.
Yes, it's true that most, if not all, translation agencies are terrible.

But if you want to set your company apart from the pack in terms of quality, please make sure that your own rant about poor translation services doesn't contain copious amounts of grammatical errors.
I'm not sure if you were referring to the author of the book, but this is an authorized biography with interviews of Steve Jobs. I have no idea who the proceeds go to but this was obviously something Steve Jobs wanted to happen.

:) How would you propose approaching your manager with that? Seriously? "Hey boss, I'm not really working these last couple hours anyway, why not let me just go home?" I'm not saying it can't work. I'm just saying. I haven't met a manager who would look at this lightly, at least in the corporate world. It's not exactly a positive impression to give. And, I would think typical managers will try to find a way to get more out your last couple hours. Plus there's company policies to think about.
They can't put industry straight because Japanese society did not invent computer - it had to translate and import most of ideas, practices, product itself. For Japanese society invention of computer wasn't product of organic growth, as it had been in Western civilization. Burrowed idea, given technology is hard to harness.
And fascism is just a regular government, and secret police are just regular police, and martial law is just regular law... You know -- since I've got you here anyway -- I've always wanted to tell you how much I loved your novels, Mr. Orwell.
This is really cool - do you think it would be possible (I'm not necessarily suggesting you implement it) to do some basic NLP to get artist/title from YouTube video names, meaning you could search for an artist and see what's available?

Clearly it wouldn't be perfect, but a reasonably consistent format seems to be <title - band>. It might be possible to use a combination of "links to" and video viewcounts to acts as indicators of authenticity? I mean, I've hardly done much research into this, but I know when I look for music on youtube I almost always use those metrics to determine which videos I'm going to listen to, as it were.
How I Was Arrested at Occupy Wall Street
I agree, and I was considering starting to wake up at 5 am instead of 6, but I decided that it wouldn't be fair to my employer. This way I'm a little more tired, but I can still be productive at work.
The article didn't do much for me, but this comment did. What you write about rings very true in my experience of writing papers and having arguments without a clear goal. One of the better HN comments I've read for a while.

>> Efficiency kills jobs. But what people want is not jobs: they want revenue

They don't want revenue. they want decent housing, education, healthcare ,energy,transportation and food. Make those affordable to anyone , and there would be much less of a problem.

And you would expect that the improving technology would enable this. but somehow the cost of those goods mostly hasn't declined in the US.

Is there something to be done? Yes. if you look india and china, they are starting to offer those goods for much lower prices. the US should emulate them.

I might could throw in suggestions as your typing your search, so if you started typing "Band of Horses" it would hit last.fm and pull back a handful of their song titles and allow you to quickly choose from those if you wish. Let me know if this is kind of what your talking about or if im way off. Thanks a lot for the feedback.
I think you have this backward. The main purpose of those market efficiencies is to get people to buy more shit by making said shit cheaper. This applies to electronic devices more than anything else.

You know who wins the most in that setup? Someone who can bitch and whine immaturely as persistently as possible. Someone who herpderp in expense of other people's attention, someone who can close their eyes, turn away from reality and competition, and be like this: http://weknowmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/a-lot-of-s...

Not the one who contributes to the quality, who pilots the team, not the one who work their asses off keeping their product competitive. It's the whining bitch who wins here. Winner is not privileged in Japsnese society as Western civilization would - CEO in Western company earn 150x or more the wage of minimum wage employee, while in here the ratio is like 16 to 1.

It sucks to be good in Japan. You will still be bitched on and will be subject to the grudge of the team.

Agreed. Price growth is natural when you increase the money supply. It's one of the reasons that the CPI index is flawed, as it does not include food costs directly.

What are the salaries like out there? I've decided to have 2 tiers, one for those who live in high cost of living areas (California, New York etc, anywhere it costs $2K+/mo for a 1 bed room) and for those who live in less expensive areas (Idaho/Kentucky etc).

And what do you do for your salary?
less than $50K - high
$50-75K - high
$75K-100K - high
$100K-150K - high
$150K+ - high

Speaking as a farmer, these are the prices required to remain profitable. I'm sure it wasn't covered here, but prior to 2008 we were seeing numerous farmer protests against the destabilization of our food sector. And then, all of a sudden, the prices rose. Maybe it was purely coincidence with investor actions, but I have always felt it was something else.

Though it raises some interesting ethical questions. Is it better to have the farmer subsidize the poor by not turning a profit, or is it better to have the farmer turn a profit (the goal of the business) at the cost of starvation of others?
> Okay fine, but here's the details that are very important to remember: economies don't run on jobs, they run on the creation and distribution of scarcities.

The problem is that are current economy relies on jobs to distribute the wealth. We need a new system, and we need it fast, because things are changing quickly.
Design is King.

There are queens and princes and other high ranking royal family memebers in this metaphor, such as marketing, sales and operations. But they all take their orders from the King. And Design is the King.

Anyone who thinks that is "harder than it sounds" isn't thinking straight. It's hard producing, marketing and selling badly designed products. It's hard motivating a work force who aren't happy or proud in their work. It's hard trying to compete with a company that's better than you at designing products. It's hard whichever way you choose to go.
Not too mysterious. Many large corporations have invested $x million in proprietary software where the cost is amortized by the beancounters over a number of years.

Some of this proprietary software was written in ActiveX, VBscript or some other technology that means that the vendor only officially supports it operating under IE6. It might run fine under newer IE versions or other browsers, but doing so would void the support contract with the vendor (which means huge costs).

So the choice is either to spend millions more upgrading it (when it works perfectly fine for business purposes already), or keep everyone on IE6. Most stick with IE6.

It's getting better as the cost of the software gets fully amortized and planned replacement projects start going ahead - but there's still holdouts.

I work with a 50,000+ employee corporation that just got the go-ahead to upgrade employee workstations to IE8 - with the exception of a few departments (x,000 workstations) who are stuck with one of the aforementioned proprietary apps that's more expensive to upgrade than it is to support the users with the crappy browser.
Kids are not miniature adults with the same ability to reason about and process data as adults. Scary movies ae "just information", yet can leave scars on some kids that don't fade for a long time.

I realize the HN crowd is strongly libertarian and wants to believe in individuals having full control of themselves and their environments. I'm drawn to that because I have similar beliefs. But that is something kids grow into. My oldest is almost there, my youngest is not even close.

My generation was the latch key generation. Parents didn't want to be bothered with kids. That gave rise to the overprotected generation (which, believe it or not, my wife and I have spent a lot of effort keeping our kids out of). Maybe we are cycling back to an under-protected philosophy, but I will have no part in that.

You can make whatever assumptions you want about my parenting and even vote accordingly (even though I've tried to keep within the bounds of HN commenting, when it comes to kids, I get passionate and may have stepped out of the lines). I'm comfortable with my four well-adjusted, successful, experimental kids. That is all I care about, though having come from a shitty childhood, I will try to give others information I've gleaned through research and experience to prevent their kids from experiencing the same. I have no problem with them telling me to go to hell.

Oh, and, really, you think you can tell me I've made terrible mistakes as a parent when you know nothing about me but a few sentences you've read on the Internet? You feel good about that?
Does anyone else get the feeling that the entire automotive industry could be disrupted by a company that focused on design, usability, and modern technology in their car interiors? It seems to me you could replace just about every car's dashboard with an iPad and already be light-years ahead of the industry standard.

In fact the problem seems to get worse as you add more technology and money; if Top Gear is any indication the supercars of the world are all a usability joke. They have a dizzying array of meaningless, misplaced, and practically useless buttons. I believe on the latest Ferrari you can either see your speed or your position on a map, but not both.

It seems very similar to the phone industry before the iPhone.
That would be awesome, and perhaps easier to implement?
Nice! Mapping the right and left arrow keys to prev/next would be a small but very useful addition.
Wow, I just duplicated this perfectly.

Signed up with a fake name and throwaway email. Was asked to enter mobile number for verification.[1] Entered mobile number and verified.

The top few 'People You May Know' suggestions were all people who I know have that number on their iPhones, all of whom use the Facebook for iPhone application. (It obviously happens if they use any platform's app to sync contacts, not just iOS)

Don't have the time to check now, but I would imagine Facebook uses this exact same method for suggestions if you use your primary email to sign up. People who have you in their email contacts - and have imported them to Facebook - are probably suggested to you too. That way you'll know who keeps you in their email address book too.

[1] Note: to trigger the SMS verification stage, you have to enter a semi-obviously fake name.
Quicksilver is pretty much what every other launcher on the Mac has been based on, but for free. Alfred is a nice product and basic launching functionality is free, but most of the advanced features that are free in Quicksilver cost £12 (about $19) to add.

I've been running the previous version of Quicksilver on Snow Leopard and Lion, and it's been very solid; the new version should be even better.

Perhaps this is related to the track record of at least one of the Nodejitsu founders (digging a little there's a fair amount of blog-related drama although not on their blog so maybe this isn't a fair evaluation)?

Although in principle I agree that "legitimate content" shouldn't be blocked, if spam has happened from or is related to a blog it's only reasonable to expect that such a blog might become blocked (how else should the moderators handle this?), the other legitimate content notwithstanding.
small businesses are notorious penny pinchers, even $20/mo is a big decision for them. So doubling prices is a big problem for a lot of them...even if the actual cost is nothing compared to their other expenses.
Totally agree on the concept, but not on the implementation. It's time for a #norails revolution. Rails expresses the needs of domain-driven applications very poorly. My response to this article: http://bit.ly/n9DFi6
I have a different take. Should write a blog post some day.

The usual disclaimer: Japan is a big place and not all Japanese companies/people act the same, just like not US company is Google.
Thank you.

The big moral challenge for me was not that I could bullshit my way, quickly and successfully, through any single paper. Rather, the problem was that this type of work became very easy and, eventually, routine. I found myself applying the principles of "deep" bullshit to my actual problem-solving in real life, and they led me astray more than once. I had to take conscious stock of what had become a subconscious pattern, excise it painfully, and learn to rebuild my thought process.

So I guess my overall point is that "How to Seem Deep" and "How to Be Deep" can be two very different things. The trick is recognizing when one is seeming deep, and when one is being deep, and not letting the ease of the former replace the hard work of the latter.
This sounds like the most common reaction to users accidentally causing errors in data: lock everything down and only allow a very specific operation, and complain loudly and specifically (i.e., incomprehensibly) if they get out of line, in order to protect the data. Did someone find a new way to screw up? Add another restriction.

I sometimes wonder why these interfaces are so freaking common for anything not facing the general public.
Stop feeding me these straight lines.
Except if you're over 40 and have to use a large font. My font is set so that 80 characters is full-width, those who assume 132 characters and wrap mostly around 100 make for incredibly horrible code reading experience.

I also print out complex code fragments or read them on a tablet. In this format 80 characters or less is also quite excellent.

Finally, to I try limit to 76 characters. It permits you to do "> > " in e-mail conversations about the code without

Ketoconazole Shampoo and Ketoconazole Cream
In April of 2002, I bought a reconditioned Handspring Visor for $69 and an AirPrime PCS Digital Link Springboard module for $19.95 (down from several hundred bucks initially).

Though based on pen technology, numbers could be dialed by touch, and short of location based services and a gyroscope it had every major application of a modern smartphone including the iPhone.

That's why Job's sanctimony is pretty much bullshit, IMO - the iPhone didn't spring like Athena straight from Job's head. Though it was a significant step forward in the form factor, it was still no more than a step forward.

Phone plans, of course, are another matter, and the changes Jobs initiated in those is far more of a factor in Android's success than the implementation details of a touch screen interface (and also explain why I never used my Handspring phone for mobile data during the two and a half years it was my primary phone, and why it was replaced with a Razor rather than another smartphone).

Good god man, $200 a week? How much meat do you eat?

Meat's expensive, but that is still a huge sum for just one person. Do you eat a lot of prepared food as well? Snack foods, boxed cereal, frozen prepared meals, etc.?

I spend between $100 and $150 a month feeding my family of four. Very little meat, lots of fruit and vegetables, eggs regularly, beans all over the damn place. The most expensive things in our diet are nuts, and next in line is the eggs/dairy.

And honestly, we only spend this much because we're not very disciplined. We could fairly easily keep our bill under $100 a month with better storage and more reliance on bulk foods.
Can you make it so that I can send my friends a URL of the Artist i have chosen on Tubalr
AOL Radio used to offer single artist radio stations. Now that AOL Radio is powered by Slacker, they dropped this feature. As far as I know no other internet radio service offers this. Now your tubalr does (at least, in a sense). Which makes it stand out, at least to me. Thanks for the nice site!

EDIT: I see if you reload the site and pick the same artist again, the same videos come up in the same order. Some randomization would go a long ways.
I commented on your original post, but there's one more thing to add:

I do not contend that the early morning is the most productive hours of the day. I usually take an hours or so to really warm up, get some coffee in me and start working well. Another common mistake I'll make is spending the hour+ time on checking emails, reading up on news, checking fantasy football & stock prices... all things that I'd normally do in my "personal time," yet do not have anything to do with my projects.

This idea definitely works, but requires discipline :)
Same here. At 29 I've finally internalized the reality that nothing valuable comes easily. Dreams and goals don't accomplish themselves.

Right now, I'm working my ass off to do a software craftsmanship apprenticeship. It has taken time to develop the maturity to be content to focus on what I need to do today and not worry about when, where, and how the hard work will pay off.
