I'm actually really fan of how Google Reader worked. But I can change my habits to use a free (as in freedom) software, that's not a problem. However, I didn't find how to create a feed of shared items, and that's a huge deal-breaker for me, I really need this feature (like I said in my previous comment, I use it a lot). Also, I'd love an Android app…
Ah, I almost thought so too, but, well, quoting myself from the article:

The word "nomenclature" is almost there, but not quite. "Nomenclature" has several meanings, including simply a name or designation, a system of naming, or a set of names. It can also refer to the act of naming. But none of the meanings refer directly to the consideration of the criteria for what makes good names. Also, with "nomenclature" it's harder to form derivatives like "nominologist" or even "nominologize". I take this stuff way too seriously.
Those are not a single company. They are separate entities that license the Virgin brand. Branson will start them up then move on. Its like a franchise model but with a few very large franchisees.

More concerning, what happens to the hundreds of millions of people who don't have a domain to even be (or not be) a rockstar in? When unskilled labor available outstrips demand for unskilled labor, we start to see college diplomas as a requirement for filling a position as a Starbucks Barista.

My initial reaction to the article was dismissive, but the more I think about it, the bigger the problem seems like it will be by the time it is brought into the public eye. Is a 'bottom 50%er' version of Occupy WallStreet something we could end up seeing within our lifetimes?

Do you have mixed feelings about this? Your mom's part in WMD technology, I mean. And how does she feel about it? This is a serious question.

I genuinely wonder if people who work on this kind of stuff feel conflicted about it regularly, or don't think about it, or feel strongly that they are doing good.

I know there seem to be a few HN readers religiously against using an IDE, but in this case an IDE would have probably helped. Since it colors global and local variables differently the error would be much more apparent at the time when it was made (you typically have very few global variables so they stand out color wise).

You can get it for free. It's basically a series of blog posts (by a number of authors) which tries to explain some of the technical workings of CouchDB, and a few neat things you can do with it. It's kind of deep, but not comprehensive enough, and doesn't really cover the basic practicalities very well.

The wiki is much better if you just want to get stuff working. The book is more for background.

The big issue is they don't seem to treat the documentation and client libraries as a really big deal. Look at a language like Python - it's nothing special, but it's great tutorial and documentation gets it a lot of mindshare. Heck, look at Ruby - it's Python with a bit of syntactic sugar, less libraries, and a slow interpreter. But its documentation (which is great, but offbeat) wins it rabid fans like DHH, who go on to make stuff like Rails, and it's practically a household name.

There's some really neat stuff that only CoucbDB can do, but figuring out how to use it is just a pain.

CoffeeScript is compiled into JavaScript both on the server and on the client.

Yeah, I know he didn't try to sell CoffeeScript on the client, but that isn't because its not better to use CoffeeScript on the client, its just because its not worth trying to sell to people if you are trying to get them into CoffeeScript. Sure it might be a bit harder to debug on the client, but not as hard as looking at a pile of JS.

I am a experienced programmer, too. No "software architect" or another label can convert the stupid into brilliant. In most cases is related to recognition, power, and pay, so may be that's the reason of accepting such labels as "normal" (I have no problem with others telling me X, Y or Z, although I find it non-sense as well).
I'm not sure I'd regard it as read only.

Whilst it's true a lot of data appears to be read only (of the kind, what is where?), even geological features change given enough time (or little time if we're talking water features in a world of global warming).

Given that what we're discussing is mostly man-made features, such as physical buildings and the businesses that occupy them... these are open to change. Buildings get built, demolished, and far more frequently modified.

And then there are problems like "Where can I park?". Most parking in London is street parking rather than car parks, and parking restrictions change frequently enough that it isn't static data.

Once you concede time is a dimension that affects spatial information, you open yourself up to far more interesting possibilities: What is happening nearby? Where are my friends? There's traffic up the road, what's causing it and should I detour?

This is massively changing data. It could be expressed as a read-only stream of 'events' that 'occur' at different places (check-ins, tracking data)... but the data is refreshed so frequently that storing as a read-only audit trail of events just disguises the fact that people will perceive the information as permanently changing.

I think the hardest part of dealing with geospatial data is ensuring that it is fresh enough to be valuable data. And that is to work from the point of view that everything changes constantly.

I think they are two sides to the same coin. You can't tackle red inequality without looking at blue inequality. As someone else put it, purple inequality. What happens when a CEO screws up? Blue inequality they get some sort of parachute and bonus regardless of the company tanking, and red inequality people are laid off, fired, don't get raises, or sometimes receive pay cuts.
If you are interested in evaluating names, I recommend reading The Igor Naming Guide: http://www.igorinternational.com/process/igor-naming-guide.p...

They have quite good categorization of names that helps you think about different names: functional/descriptive, invented, experiential, evocative.
Specifically, they use term 'experiential name' for names that hint or evoke an idea what the product does, but reserve term 'evocative' for positioning. Virgin is a prime example of evocative name, while e.g. Infoseek is a experiential name.

A quote from the manual:

One important way that evocative names differ from others is that they evoke the positioning of a company or product, rather than describing a function or a direct
experience

The guide also highlights how there can be initial resistance for great (evocative) names. For example, consider Virgin Airlines:

"But public wants airlines to be experienced, safe and professional!" or

"Religious people will be offended"

Or Caterpillar:

"Tiny, creepy-crawly bug",

"Not macho enough – easy to squash",

"Why not "bull" or "workhorse" "?

It's a great read.
I would say (at least from personal experience) that the funding issue is a bit of an easy culprit (especially since the article highlights three tech companies in the graphic).

In my experience, the barrier to entry for a sufficiently skilled founder or founders is fairly low, as long as one has the skills, and motivation to learn.

But for biotech and other industries, I can definitely see the potential for grants and other support to "jumpstart" these companies.
Geo-grafitti isn't new, but it hasn't taken off either. I like the idea (especially in Melb!), but I agree it's difficult to make seamless. Seems like it could be ubiquitous with the right implementation.

Can you make the app push-enabled, so you can be notified when you're close to a lokenote? (Noting I have no idea about push-enablement). It seems like the big difference is you notice "missing cat" posters and/or new cafes as you walk down the street; having to check your app every 5 meters is less useful. Push could help that.

I don't think this will really take off until we have full-time AR overlays on our normal vision. Of course, that's just wishful thinking ;)
Exactly why we moved to CoffeeScript, without it you need to rigorously enforce coding conventions. This entails watching for missing vars, using jslint, having a script that searches for accidentally declared globals, only declaring vars at the top of a function, among other best practices. With CS you get all of that just by using it. If you can write high-standard code using a simpler, terser syntax, why avoid it?

Redundancy in hardware is one problem. But then all those CPUs still run the same software.

After Ariane 5 crashed spectacularly due to a software error that affected the two on board computers and the ground control unit likewise (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariane_5_Flight_501), there had been talk about having the same software be developed by multiple, independent teams, and then use the different versions for error correction. Sounds like a crazy idea and probably won't work, but I don't really know of a better solution either.

I think this article is somewhat based on a misunderstanding of HTML5.

I've developed an "HTML5" application using Phonegap for Android and iPhone. But the difficulties he described is more of a UI issue better handled by responsive frameworks like JQuery Mobile.

I'll be honest though, I still have hacky code making up for some UI framework deficits, and the "touch" version of my webapp is much more simplistic. But the cross-compatibility and "write once, run anywhere" aspect of Javascript/HTML5/CSS development is too hard to pass up when you have limited time and hope to reach a wide market.

"It’s easier, after all, to take a risk, quit your day job, and start a new business if you don’t have to worry about getting health-care coverage."

Actually, I think it's the other way around. First of all, countries with national health care have introduced it precisely because is citizens are less risk-tolerant on average. Also, with a bunch of social parachutes such as health care, solidarity pensions and the like, the willingness to risk actually decreases, as there is less incentive to "make it big".

Yes, on the other hand it's quite necessary to not have non-compliant browsers blow up. `"use strict";` is just a noop in e.g. IE6. `use strict;` would be an error in it.

I would argue that this semantic debate over the meaning of "programmer" is getting a tad tired. The author description would be more aptly described, in my opinion, as an entrepreneur.

Conflict management, and the other business-focused tasks he mention are completely separate from the programming side in the corporate world. I worked at a company where the software developers spent 90% of their time writing code based on tasks, and nearly no time on these other facets described in the article.

Suffice to say, I think that more focus should be spent on what people are doing, and not what they're calling it. Which is sort of what the author was saying, in the end.

This doesn't really mean anything. Startups don't necessarily pay better than the corporations, and often pay less from what I'm seeing. And their stock or whatever is risky, so that is only a partial offset.

Many animals have all sorts of odd sleeps, sharks most of all. There's been no real research into it, but it's something like REM sleep matters the most, and in polyphasic sleep you get to REM really quickly. Maybe 1.5-2h of an 8 hour sleep is REM, but 15 of 20 mins is REM, if you are used to 20 mins.
One of the reasons I see startups being more significant for fueling the economy is momentum. A startup with 2 or 3 well collaborating founders without internal conflict is following an exciting vision - there's a certain glorification to beginning the venture on an idea, and being a founder of something new and practical. On the other hand, more mundane small businesses, once established, aren't known for adapting and changing much, so much as fitting into an industry niche and remaining predictable (i.e. a small software brand which isn't superlative in any way, but is stable and profitable).
I would like to see all these quotes of "shortages" phrased as "shortage of highly skilled workers at $xx,xxx per year working xxxx hours per year doing x, y, and z", and then I'd like to hear what exactly caps the salary at $xx,xxx rather than $yy,yyy other than the CEO decided the number sounds nice and anything more "sounds like too much".
> used in functional languages

Used in some. Haskell and OCaml mandate scope binding (unless you're at the top level of a module). Erlang does single-assignment (really pattern matches aliasing, an extremely limited version of Prolog's unification) without scope declaration, but what other FP languages do that?
> Can someone please implement strict mode for Node?

It's already implemented, you just have to enable it.
Personally, I've never had the incentive to move to a more native framework like Appcelerator. As a Phonegap enthusiast, I may be a tad biased. But a common codebase is hard to pass up, and I'd rather write a plugin in Java or Obj C++ than learn another API that is appreciably different from typical JavaScript practices.
The logic of the first part of the article seems a little foolish. If he'd had the operation, it might have already spread and would still have killed him anyway. But, therefore it might not - all this says is that the operation wouldn't have certainly saved his life, just improved his chances. Well, of course!
Precisely. Markets such as social, search, and cloud were the low hanging fruits because they required relatively small seed capital.

The reason why PG is complaining about a lack of truly unique startup ideas is because, frankly, many of the low hanging fruits have been picked. The next generation of fields ripe for innovation (AI, robotics, transportation, biomedicine, energy, space, etc) require orders of magnitude more seed capital. Some of these are on Manhattan project scales, requiring billions of dollars invested for a decent probably of an acceptable return on investment.

Some big spenders, such as Peter Thiel, are paving the way forward with their personal initiatives; yet few organic investment communities exist to support such endeavours. I doubt that such an investment community would spring forth without government support.

Unfortunately, government largesse is a critical issue in most developed nations at the moment, so I am pessimistic of government assistance in these sectors. Thus, we are constrained to our narrow fields of low capital startups for the time being.
Verbling (S11) is hiring designers, engineers to fix language learning
“One of the toughest parts of learning a new language is finding people to practice with. Verbling solves that.” –Brent D., user

-We connect language learners with native speakers around the world for verbal practice through live video.

-GigaOM named us one of the top 5 companies of the YC S11 batch (out of 63).

-We just raised capital from truly helpful VCs and angels in an oversubscribed round.

Users are asking for way more features than we have the technical bandwidth to push out, so we’re hiring:

(1) A lead UI/UX designer extremely passionate about designing an experience our users will love. Coding is a plus.

(2) A frontend-y or generalist engineer who wants to make a huge difference hacking on top of a fun, developer-time optimized technology stack (Node, Rails, etc.).

Market salary, equity, health insurance, relocation/housing help are a given, but more importantly, as an early hire you’ll be driving decisions that affect the lives of users from more than 128 countries.

As with most other gambles, greater risk entails greater reward. Reduced risk (read: more comfortable safety net) means more competitors, a more diluted market for startups, and a lower payoff to fewer successes. Convesely, Google rose from America in precisely the quasi-starving artist mentality that makes a startup riskier with a less comfortable safety net. I agree.
