Apple products

Because Apple is popular, everybody is copying them, so then it's going to be too late for you to stop.
This is just an assumption but I assume you applied for the job at Apple and must have had some sort of interview to know that its a high paying gig. If you've gone that far, coupled with what others have already echoed, Apple should be the right choice for you.
I've said my piece on the racial part of the issue here http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3170071

But this what I admire about Mike quoted from the article:

"I, in contrast, don’t say politically correct things. But I have educated ideas about how to begin to fix the problem, and I’m willing to both speak my mind and listen to others (but only if they don’t scream at me, or throw me under the bus to write niceties about doing more while doing absolutely nothing). And in the meantime I’m funding, promoting, hiring and generally doing what I’ve always done to help out women and minority founders."

And that is exactly it. All of the "write niceties about doing more while doing absolutely nothing" is not helping at all.

And the fact that Mike is much more focused on having and discussing "educated ideas about how to begin to fix the problem" is what will

I don't quite understand that whenever a Perl post comes on HN there is always a need to comment about its relevance or how it compares to x, y & z :(

Perl is just a tool and people use that tool for a myriad of reasons. Whether its in decline or even worrying about it being in decline doesn't give me a good reason to stop using it on a daily basis :)

BTW... the article (and its meme) is really about Google search and this will/does/could affect all programming language (over time!).

Linus Torvalds: Why Linux Is Not Successful On Desktops
It's better to use the right tool rather than the free one. I'm sure these products being recommended are great. I don't use any of them.

At work we use Pivotal Tracker, Github, 37 signals suite and others. They all cost money, and they all add value beyond their cost relative to free options. I would strongly advise against using "free" as your price point. It'll cost you.
That analogy bears no resemblance to the issue at hand.

These changes improve security. Just because they don't improve the security to 100%, that doesn't make them worthless.

I have more ideas than I could implement in 10 lifetimes. My first reaction when I see something I thought of come to be is "oh hells yeah, they made my X for me!"

The second is a nice feeling of vindication. "It was a good idea. Look!"

That's what bothers me most about "intellectual property". This "if I can't be the one to build it and profit from it then no one should" notion is just a recipe for nothing ever getting done.

Yeah. So I looked it up for everybody. Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_pricing#Price_compa...

Says 11.2ct/kWh in the US per 2011 (close enough to the $0.12/kWh cited elsewhere in this thread).

$/kWh $/W year
--------------------------------
USA 11.20 0.98
Germany 30.66 2.69
Belgium 11.43 1.00
Netherlands 34.70 3.04
UK 18.59 1.63

You can calculate prices for other countries by looking it up on the table on Wikipedia and using Google Calculator to convert to dollar per Watt year:

https://www.google.com/search?q=($0.1859+per+kilowatt+hour)+...

Additionally, I propose that we redefine the name for the unit of "dollar per Watt year" as one Belgium.

Aside: is Wolfram Alpha ever useful for anything? Every once in a while I think of a question that would be perfect for WA to answer, and every time it disappoints me and I have to get the data from Wikipedia or Google, when WA could have also done the cost-per-year conversion for me straight away. This time it failed because as soon as you mention "energy price" WA assumes "US energy price" and tells me it has "no data" for the US energy price in Europe (which is technically correct, of course).
I cannot see how this is bad for competition. Within the App Store, the apps are subject to the same restrictions and it is fair competition. Outside of the App Store, you are not subject to the restrictions, and hopefully you can - and you should - build something that is impossible to achieve under the App Store restrictions, and you get your competitive advantages.

If you just hate the App Store idea, and you don't really have anything that cannot be done with the sandbox restrictions, well, if your customers like the App Store, I guess you should be out of business anyway. This is pure Darwinism.

"I can't imagine..."
On one hand it's true - you get what you pay for. On the other hand (and in my case) if you're a one-man startup and you're broke (or deeply in debt), you don't have money to spend on frivolous things like a web server, and free resources like this mean the difference between launching and not launching. I use everything I mentioned in my post... the only thing I'm paying for right now is a server ($60 for 6 months), a domain name and SSL Cert. The domain name? 1.99 with 10% off coupon and the cert was $10.
I'm not saying this is the best or the right way to do things, but for me it mean the difference between sitting on my butt, and launching.
If you can bridge the time zone, communication and culture gaps, then more power to you. And I am not saying that sarcastically. Outsourcing might save a startup enough money to stay afloat long or to make better features to interest VCs/customers.

The amount isn't too far off I don't think. I'm no font designer, but four man years (including overhead, etc...) isn't insane, nor is that figure off for expected salary.

That said, I'm very mixed on this kind of "ransomware" development. If you want to share, share. If you don't, don't. But front-loading the costs of your proprietary software product on people who actually want free software is borderline unethical, IMHO. Obviously people are free to pay if they want to, but if you really want to support free development there are better targets.
I'm not one of the downvoters, but how on earth is doing "your-scm-here commit" and typing up a description when you complete a task complex or slow? If that's even in the top 75% of the complexity in your app, you've got it so easy that it really doesn't matter what you do because you could just rewrite the whole thing in like five minutes.

On the other hand, the ability to try things and easily revert back to a known state is lost with the drag-and-drop versioning.

We (http://feefighters.com) found our lead designer in Bulgaria. We posted a project on Crowdspring where we asked for a redesign of TransFS.com. Tisho (http://twitter.com/tisho) did such a good job that we brought him on full-time.

We don't have any communications/timezone/culture issues at all... he knows American pop-culture better than most of us do (thank torrents for that I suppose?), his English is impeccable, and the time zone thing isn't usually an issue because we all have crazy sleep/work schedules anyway.

On a related note, using 99designs, Crowdspring, Elance, etc are great early on and then if you find someone you really like, hire them!

That being said, Tisho says that is a pretty idealized picture of Bulgaria... Folks aren't necessarily as highly experienced & motivated as this would suggest, and taxes aren't as low as this article suggests either.
Statistical Aspects of Data Mining (Stanford's Stats 202)
The poor in Africa won't buy these for full retail price, no. However, they do care about the safety of their children, if for no other reason than that sick kids can't work on the farm.

And it might not be just because of malaria -- mosquitoes ruin a good night's sleep, and a good night's sleep is required for farm work, especially when you're malnourished.

So when offered the opportunity to purchase these for 50 cents, they will do so. And they will have that opportunity because aid agencies will be giving them away like candy if they are effective. Aid agencies have trouble getting things like that into the hands of where they're needed, but grey/black market entrepreneurs help ensure that they do.

I don't think the interviewer intends to portray Arrington as a racist. I don't think a reasonable person looks at this interview and conclude that Arrington is racist. I think Arrington himself probably misses the point here.

At worst, he's "reverse racist", in the sense of affirmative action.

I don't understand why it is alarming that African Americans are underrepresented in Silicon Valley. They are also underrepresented in the NHL too. Is that a problem? Or for that matter, Asians are way underrepresented in the NBA. Is that a problem?

It's just the way things are.

Now if an Asian guy shoots like Michael Jordan and can't get a job in the NBA, then we have a problem. Or when a black guy has a great idea for a tech company, and can't get funded, then we have a problem. But you shouldn't simply invest in a company because the founder is black. That ain't right.

I have different expectations from my iOS device and from my Mac. My main work machine must give me the freedom to install whatever I want, since limiting this freedom would be crippling. But I don't require this of my phone, since I don't see the added benefit. This is a practical point of view, and I bet it is common among developers.

Perhaps in the future most development will take place in SSH sessions on a remote machine, and then closing down the Mac will not longer be a problem, but I don't see how that would work today.
Sticking with one resolution when testing is such a noob mistake I'd doubt google could make it. You don't need a different screen to test different layouts, Firefox webdeveloper extension lets you define viewport sizes for testing easily.
Regardless of whether they are for or against it, they would have a tough time detecting it in the first place. In theory, their detection algorithm would have to be at least as smart as the StatSheet Algorithm.

I think if you're looking for a cofounder to work with your team remotely good team fit is essential.

Perhaps working on a smaller project all together initially would reveal if can all work productively. It would also be clear what value your biz co-founder would bring to your team.

I've certainly got several potential ideas that cover both interesting and large user problems that would require an experienced team, however I'm in the UK and I know you're looking for a US co-founder.

I just bought a new laptop. The last 3 were powerbooks/macbook pros. I saw the app store on os x and decided on a lenovo this time, running linux (xmonad helped tip that scale).

I'm really glad I went that way. I'm sure that this is a good thing (tm) for most users, and will help avoid all sorts of problems. But the Mac's becoming more of an appliance, and while it's safer, easier, and more convenient for most users, it makes it a substantially less desirable machine for me to hack on.

There's a tradeoff between making the developer environment and user environment closer together -- to make the machine more amenable for hacking, to reduce the wall for development, and to make the platform a good place to learn how to write code -- vs farther, to make it a simpler, safer environment for users. So far, the bias has been on the former, but it's changing.

What's interesting is that this may, for the time being, push app development server-side (to the web) as the client environments become more hack-inhospitable.
