It is interesting to me how much a subset of hacker news readers, such as yourself, hate advertising. Many laypeople find the pre-movie advertisements a lot of fun. Heck, my girlfriend prefers TV advertisements to many shows.
This was your moment. These are the biggest questions any potential buyer will have. You leave me unconvinced you have solutions to any of the questions Thomas outlined.

1. ? Clarify "paint it on right."

2. "We made it this way. Trust us." I am not asking for the chemical formula, but seriously more evidence is required here. How do we know it works? Why does it work better? What are you doing that they are not?

3. How does another coat of paint interact with your "whitey paint" which I can only assume is some smooth polymer. Will other paints stick correctly to it? etc. People don't want "shinier" they want their wall back.

For the same reason porn is expensive inside a hotel, and not elsewhere.
The reason that none of the explanations make logical sense is because the theories presented only look at the demand side (Willingness to Pay) but the answer is on the supply side.

The movie theater business is a surprisingly low profit business. Net income accounts for less than 3% of revenue (http://www.google.com/finance?q=NYSE:RGC&fstype=ii)

Theoretically the prices on concessions are already the lowest point possible for the theaters to still make a profit. In essence, all the demand side stuff the authors mention is correct, but they mistook what the actual marginal cost was.
Most people seem to have bigger issues with getting out of work/school and going back in the dark. Leaving work at night is just depressing because you have the feeling of no free time, whereas it doesn't matter in the morning because you're probably just having breakfast and getting ready to leave.
Bullshit. Computing advanced despite Gates, not because of him. I was there thru the nineties and win9x was a heaping pile of shit. Os/2 and BeOs were both five times better. Nt finally matured (now retarding) but the whole industry was set back at least ten years. Fuck you Bill; yeah i'm glad to hear you're giving to charity, thanks.
This runs great. Unlike iTunes it doesn't check my entire damn music library on the NAS every single time or have tons of bloatware like Ping, iTunes Store, etc. iTunes took on average 3-5 minutes just to start. This starts quickly and immediately loads my music. If it gets updated with some decent features I'd use it exclusively. Another solution people might be interested in is Clementine.

Oh I forgot about this... very tempting... very tempting indeed
but the central issue in US vs. Microsoft at the time was the bundling of their own browser with their operating system. i'm not saying that there weren't other anticompetitive practices going on at the time. but apple essentially does the same thing with safari, and there are some instances with OSX where one can't override the default browser with another.

it's curious that the US gov't isn't going after apple for predatory practices in this case. i guess it's due to the fact that OSX still has a very small market share, overall.

but consider another case where it doesn't ... iOS. apple is essentially guilty [to a larger extent] of the same thing microsoft was convicted for. last time i checked, there were no alternate browsers available in iOS because apple's licensing terms strictly prohibit it. the closest anyone has come is opera.

am i mistaken?
I was in the same boat as you for a while. The short answer is, don't look for a job, make one. In my case I'm in a CIS college program with a concentration in web development but I'm not too far in and so far have taught myself more than the classes aside from the C++ I was taught there. While you build your skills there's a huge market for local businesses that need some cheap web dev stuff done and you can make a great living off it. In my case I've increased my income tenfold. Of course my first job was free and the second was o ly $400 but the work comes in consistently with a minimum of 2 jobs a month and an average of a 2 month turnaround per job. It's not much to start but you can build it and I really encourage it to anyone so long as you don't set the client's expectations higher than what you can achieve.

You say you learned Python and Django and I think that's a great place to start. Add on to that with a solid font end knowledge and you're good to go until you get hired.

If you're in the Chicago area you should get in touch with me as I'm looking for help as we speak.
I'm currently contracted on it on an indefinite contract. I've also done a few small jobs with them and they can work to help make ends meet, but it can be hard sometimes to find something more than just small projects.

Aside from finding work, the software that oDesk uses for time tracking can be very annoying. The number of times that it's managed to decide that it can't upload the data to them recently has become a bit of a problem for the team I'm on.

If you have to program in the Java ecosystem, not only "a language whose sole purpose is to remove boilerplate from Java" helps you tons, but it gets you to a lot of places.
Even so, they (ChevronWP7) appear to be calling it an "unlock". Just to increase the confusion, I guess.
I can tell why I (a java programmer who slowly moves to Clojure) didn't go the Scala route. Because every time I've seen code sample comparisons, the clojure one was shorter then the java original and the scala was longer. Plus it's foreign enough from java... so if I do it, better to go all the way and make it worth it.
Here's How I Got A Bigger Rounder Butt
This is how you build skill and artisanship but that's not the sum total of art. Is James Patterson the best writer of our age? He wrote 10 novels just in 2011 alone.

Shockingly there's more to art than a trite truism. If you want to acquire skill, go for quantity. But after that, if you want to become a master, if you want to impact people's lives in a way they appreciate and care about you'll need more than skill, you'll need inspiration.
Bill Gates? Bah, how can this be relevant when we've seen tribute pages from only two of the three children Steve Jobs bought lemonade from last summer?
As mentioned above, there were other OSs and DOS implementations. Nothing unique about MS except their agressiveness.
<b>However, any Java programmers could have made the switch to Clojure or Scala to keep working with the JVM.</b>

We take a slightly different approach: we offer pricing for both full IE6 support (completely matching the mockup and functionality of other browsers) and doing enough work to make sure IE6 can be used although the styling will not be perfect.

Like Tam's approach the key is to give the client options so they can make the call based on their budget and business needs.
Full blown first class Eclipse Java IDE integration PLUS a nice, conservative syntax that is not Scala.
Absolutely. And who gets up at 4am? It puzzled me that it was dark in Tokyo by about 8pm in the summer, until I realized that the sun rises at a ridiculously early hour there. Great for fishmongers, not so great for modern business workers.
If you think the entire purpose of a site is just to generate advertising revenue then you should give up, close down your site, and replace it with a domain parking site. You'll still get ad revenue but your costs will be almost nothing, and you won't have to put any work into it at all. It's win/win.

ask yourself why is food sold after ticketing, rather than before?

At most theaters in Los Angeles, you can go to the concession stand without buying a ticket, and some theaters such as the Arclight actually have nice restaurants and wine bars that cater to people who aren't going to movies at all. That said, I'm not sure who would pay $6 for popcorn and $5 for a soda when not forced to because that is the only option allowed in the theater.

It is the same with beer. You can get beer for $0.50-$1 per bottle at a grocery store, but it is $3-$5 at most bars. Even if California law allowed it, I wouldn't go into a bar for a $5 beer and then take it home. I would only drink the $5 beer in the bar because that is the only option allowed inside.
Nice point. A notification just-after is almost as good as authorization just-before.

An exception I see is that it works even when your phone is off, so you wouldn't be aware of the notification (or so I assume - do some phones buzz/beep, even when off?) Of course, it makes it riskier for a malicious cashier. I suppose they could check who has their phone off first, but the risk is certainly mitigated.

Forbes is pretty silly. Those people have much less power than they think. The #1 ranked person has a good chance of losing his job in a year.
A bit off topic but nevertheless important: The wedding is overrated. Plan and think about the marriage.
Don't get bogged down in what profits they do or do not make on the tickets (not that you are wrong). Whether or not they make good money on the tickets, market theory tells us they will sell the candy for as much as they can get away with :)
Not to navigate off-topic, but merely as an aside, perhaps we can solicit the W3C to weigh in with guidance for <op>.
I am glad the comment (heh) helped you in some way.

Creating an Open Source Web App that is also a Startup?
I've been kicking around some ideas for a while of some web apps I'd like to build. They mostly relate to social media in such that they would utilize API's of some sites (Twitter, for example) to do data analysis or things along those lines (intending to keep it legit, not "spamware"). Basically, these are things I'd find useful myself to just have to use but that I think could also have potential to be turned into a business at some point. I'm not real gung ho about finding a partner and making a formalized startup, rather I just want to hash out some design docs and start coding, and it'd be nice to work with other developers on this.

Since turning it into some mega-successful startup isn't the goal, I'm fine with the app being open source and then maybe potentially branching it off at some point and adding some new features to try to make money with it, and would be fine with other people doing the same. I'm curious if anyone knows of other examples of this or if there are internet communities more geared towards this. It seems a lot of open source projects, at least the ones I've seen, are more geared at providing frameworks and libraries, not real functional web apps. This is great, of course, as these things are essential, but I sometimes wonder if there aren't other possibilities with open source. Thanks for any info to point me in the right direction.
You don't understand at all — the whole point is that you're concurrently controlling both characters, but then for some reason it's always from the player's perspective of the male. It's a bug.

The game starts with the male on the bottom, I press right, the and both characters move to their right. When you flip the male to the top, both characters move to their left when you press right. I expect my keyboard movements to directly correspond to both characters from their own perspective.

Five entrepreneurial tips from the co-founder of OfficeMax
Gates and his company were responsible for several releases of a very depressing operating system and a lot of shitty business software. I use Microsoft Word and it is amazingly bad. It is full of bugs, has a complex user interface but simple things don't work correctly and Microsoft hasn't been able to fix it for a decade. Currently I work for a company which uses Microsoft Sharepoint. It fulfills all expectations I have about Microsoft software and their services.
Still, Microsoft does deliver from time to times some good stuff, but their core software (the operating systems and their software for business) is a huge ripoff.

The advertising business is blooming with new technologies, in all the fields you mentioned (just take a look at sample projects of any of the major agencies right now). Designers for websites, interactive ads display, apps, and much more. The pie has just gotten bigger with more technology, with new positions.

And believe me, the ad industry has known about brain science since the 1920s. Google "A Century of the Self" and Edward Bernays. And direct marketing has had astounding data mining capabilities for decades ("Being Direct" by Lester Wunderman is a good reference here).

propaganda, being placed widely using private intelligence agencies like Palantir who have their corps of posting personas (who are especially active on HN and reddit) working to generate an illusion among the public

If I wanted to create an illusion among the public, I would use something that most of the public paid attention to, like TV. And indeed, if anything that's what they do: they create the illusion that the overpublicized personal lives of trashy-but-beautiful women are important and deserving of attention.

As far as Reddit and HN go, you're just spouting unsubstantiated conspiracy theories. And if you think the NSA or someone is paying me off, I'll give you a look at my bank balance and you can think again.
Considering this is obviously and forthrightly shown to be a very unusual method of managing employees in the first few paragraphs of the article, common sense would tell you that this could not be evidence for anything like that.

From a quick scan of the Xtend page, it seems to be fairly backwards compatible with Java source code.
I don't really understand how you imagine it to work. You want them to just have a huge dumb store of hash -> count mappings without them having any meaning? That would completely defeat the purpose of +1s, they couldn't put what +1s you had on your profile or use it for recommendations or whatever. Even if this was the case, it would be trivially easy for them to get the hash -> url mappings at any time since they already effectively crawl the entire internet or a daily or weekly basis, all they would have to do is add a single entry to the pipeline.

If you are saying that they should have a database where the columns are (url, hash, count) and just have the browser send the hash, that is exactly the same as just encrypting the url, and the request is being sent of https. What sort of security do you think you would have from hashing that is lacking in SSL?
So a groupon model with one-time customers? Good luck.
The real challenge is to stop people from hooking up a random-bullshit-generator to this system. It's probably hard enough for Wikileaks to filter out all the "leaks" which are actually elaborately falsified works of science fiction about Roswell.

I agree there isn't proof of the stronger claims about Assange, like the rape allegations, But frankly, what you're talking about, combined with Assange's self-aggrandizement and attention-seeking behavior which made Wikileaks all about Julian Assange and less about the mission points to a potentially malignant narcissism that doomed the project from the get-go.
Let me get this straight. I buy a phone. Carrier locks my phone, that I bought, to restrict me from doing certain things, many of which the carrier wants me to pay an extra fee for, all of which are actually built into the phone.

Now this company wants me to pay THEM the fee instead, with the difference being that although I only have to pay the fee once, they aren't going to cover anything if I brick the phone in the process of using what I just bought.

This is like buying a DVD and then paying somebody else nine dollars to sit at your desk and torrent it for you.
I don't agree that it is insanity.

People who live close to the equator or in the middle of time zones tend not to see much point in DST. The day length doesn't vary much at the equator, and if you are in the middle of a time zone then the offset doesn't vary too much.

If you are closer to a pole or at the edge of a time zone, the offset is not ideal around the solstices. So, DST is welcome for many.

I've heard the arguments from people close to the equator that the curtains will fade and the men will get their morning erections while they are on the bus, etc. Of course it is different there in the sub-tropics.

If you accept that time should not be completely local (i.e. the local church tower clock is set to noon, as it used to be) and not completely global (i.e. we all run on UTC and Tuesday begins at 00:00:01 which happens to be late afternoon in location X) and so that we arbitrarily assign time zones according to the rotation of our planet, surely we can also adjust the time zones depending on the path of our planet around the sun.

Well, if it works for the locals, that is. Insanity seems like a strong word.

This is a "head in the cloud" analysis that ignores practicality.

Let's look at your specific examples. BeOS was a beautiful and elegant OS, but from what I've heard it was a nightmare to develop for. Even today there are holdouts who continue to run FreeBSD and even AmigaOS and OS/2 but that doesn't seem to be the case with BeOS. Somehow, despite its excellence along one particular axis it missed out on enough other necessities to stunt its popularity. I don't think you can rest that failure entirely on MS's shoulders.

As far as Win 9x vs. OS/2 and NT, that's another case where things are not so simple. Windows 95 was a grand compromise. It was a bit of the next generation OS core along the lines of NT with a few carefully crafted modifications designed to provide a better balance of the characteristics and features that were the most important for the average user.

When you run a 16-bit application in NT or OS/2 you have a 2 to 4mb overhead per application due to the VM. This is all fine and dandy if you have enough ram, but back in 1995 4mb of ram was a several hundred dollar investment. In 1995 the next consumer version of Windows was faced with that crisis. How do you bring up the level of the OS to a modern foundation (from DOS/Win 3.x) in a world where the vast majority of users are still running quite a lot of 16-bit applications without forcing a crazily impractical and expensive minimum system requirement in terms of RAM on customers? The answer that Windows 95 came up with was a combination of a shared VM for all 16-bit apps along with some serious assembly level manual performance optimization to a lot of components. This allowed the Windows 95 minimum system requirements to be a mere 4mb total, which was well within what a lot of consumers had on their existing systems.

The result was one of the most successful software products of all time. It's easy to look back on Windows 95 and see its flaws but in its time it was a very solid offering at a consumer level.
Lisp, Dylan, Smalltalk, ML, Haskell, CoffeeScript, and Dart all have various levels of implicit return. It makes sense in a language where there are no statements, just expressions.

Generally code is written to not need to return from the middle of a function. This is only really inconvenient in loops, and at least Dylan, Lisp, and Smalltalk make some provision for an "early return."
