I have what might be either terrible insomnia or just lesser need for sleep (totally undiagnosed). As long as I can remember I haven't been able to sleep for much more than 4 hours at a time, the odd times when I sleep ~6 I wake up feeling terrible and exhausted.

I sleep 5~9am typically, and function fine if this is the case. If something requires me to wake up earlier than 9 it kills me for a few days. It's aslo near impossible to sleep before ~4am and some nights I'm unable to sleep at all.

I am really enjoying the new UI paradigm in Android 4.0. Soft colors, geometric shapes, white space, thin dividers. Yeah, the UI of Android sucked for a long time. But I see it making lots of progress, especially since they hired Matias Duarte (the designer from WebOS). Hopefully third party app makers will start to put more effort into design now that Google is.

It's going to be interesting to see where Android and iOS go over the next couple of years.

Isn't that little anecdotal? Yes agreed there is, social bias against people who want to do start up. But I see many people coming up against that and starting up their own startups. Agreed majority are still sweating in IT services, but we don't expect them to do startups anyways.

In fact, If OP was able to hire a single guy who is good and works remotely, that single guy is 100% startup material (otherwise, he would have been already employed at big IT service company) and very likely to start on his own few years down the line.
The non-smoothness of android interfaces is a gigantic hulking monstrosity of an issue. I deal with it dozens of times a day, and have been for years now on multiple phones. It is the sole reason why anyone cares whether android does hardware or software graphics acceleration. No one would care if there wasn't a problem for which they picked software acceleration as a cause.

The post spends pages on how hardware acceleration in android is just fine, but it completely ignores the actual problem. This is like a man in court for a DUI who bases his whole defense around the fact that he has a legitimate driver's license.

Going from Heinlein's razor, I assume that google does not know the cause of the problem. The alternative is that google is deliberately trying to mislead us by ensconcing the clunkiness issue within the hardware acceleration issue in the belief that by disproving the software acceleration claims they can nullify the elephant in the room: poor user interface performance.

Usually much longer than that, actually, since it starts when they close the cabin doors and doesn't end until ten minutes after takeoff. If you're taxiing or waiting to take off, that adds extra time. I fly about once a month and I find it a significant inconvenience.

Besides, why should we accept any inconvenience or distraction at all, if it's for no reason?
Wow. My best-guess(/understanding, from popular media) is that, long-term, you need REM sleep. It's interesting that you (feel you) were able to short-circuit it, at least for a while.

Anyway, the take-away I'm getting from your reply is that you are deliberately "sleep deprived", i.e., that you are driven, philosophically, to keep sleep to a physiological minimum.

(Which tempts me, strongly, to view your sleep-deprivation (quote, unquote) as something akin to chronic drug use and/or anorexia.‡

I sleep a long time, but I also awake up a long time. More than 24 hours total, which means the time I go to bed (and thus the time I wake up) is slowly pushed back. Sounds a lot like Non-24 Hour Sleep Wake Syndrome, but I do not know.

Made school nearly impossible, anyway.
I could probably write a book on this. I've been pitched a few hundred times, invested as an angel ~50+ times, and raised twice (so far.)

If your product speaks for itself, none of the advice here matters. You'll get multiple offers to play off each other.

A great lawyer will help you navigate this. I can recommend several if needed.

Try to pitch the weaker fit and less interesting VCs first. This will let you get your patter down, make the strange questions unsurprising, etc.
The iPod didn't really evolve in any meaningful way from it's original offering, and the iPad has evolved even less. Those products received a big "Meh" from early adopter types, but it turned out that they weren't targeting those people, they were targeting the vast majority of people who had never heard of Rio MP3 players in 2001, and who don't even know what a hard drive is. The Media Mehs in those cases were because of a fundamental disconnect between what the reviewers expected to be important in a product and what the product actually offered, only to be shown that they can be useful to many people in their simplicity.

I just don't see Siri as something that is going to significantly evolve in a meaningful way. People seem to already find it useful in it's current state though, so I could easily see an argument for analogies to iPod and iPad that most early adopters / people involved in the software industry are notoriously bad at evaluating the current state of these products, even without it having to evolve.
Of course its anecdotal. The original article from jplarson that we are all responding to is also highly anecdotal.

But you have a good point about the OP's hire. I'm also very glad to hear youngsters are starting to do their own thing. :-)
It still works with irrational exponents (start with fractional numbers and work towards that). It also works with imaginary exponents. It works because the power notation is short hand. But that wasn't the point of my reply. The point was that stating things multiple ways assists us in understanding. Does this not match your experience?

Yes. It's very common for blogs and press outlets to ask for exclusives with a deadline at which it expires (embargo). If you want their coverage, you agree to their terms. Or if you have your act together, you set your terms, pitch it and have back up plans if they don't accept.

In other words, he feels/felt that facebook is worth a lot more than $15B. I don't use facebook but I find this to be the most admirable part of facebook's evolution. For someone in their early twenties to have that sort of conviction about the worth of their product is remarkable, don't you think?
Very few if any articles on dealing with situations such as disease need to prove the existence of the disease. It seemed to me that the existence was pre-assumed given the need to consult with others before the meeting. This looks to be the story of the end and not the beginning.
While everyone does it at different times, it only helps to get it done early. Cooley, Wilson Sonsini and a number of the other big firms offer services for free, pre-funding. Or just use the free&standardized docs that you find online.

Also figure out the equity split among your team early, even before legal docs. Always a shame to see a team fall apart because of poor communication

@teyc - I will take what you have said as a huge compliment. I wish I was as smart as you say I am. When this happened, we considered our options -

1. We ignore the comments. But that will seem that anyone can say anything and get away with it. It is wrong.

2. We could engage in a war of words on Twitter. It seemed stupid to go that route.

3.Write the entire story and present how we felt about the whole thing. - That is what we did.

We did not consider SEO or link juice to setup a separate site. Our blog uses Posterous and to my knowledge Posterous does not support embeddable Twitter widgets. So we went the separate domain route. I was actually of the opinion that a post on our blog is better SEO.
I posted this on social networks to publicize our response. I posted it on HN for a meaningful discussion which I think happened and I learnt some good things and some mistakes.

I definitely don't want the Australian - Indian racism debate anymore than you do. I think it is disgusting. We were attacked for no reason and we wanted to respond. It's Monday morning here in India and we are back to work on improving our Product.
This is a pretty simple fix in CSS using font face fallbacks. Here's a typical example:

Maybe pg or friends will update it.
No, you don't get it.

One question:
Do you think a Google Search only searches for those keywords without taking other factors in consideration?
Based on what i can find (checked the source of some plugins of Siri Proxy) Siri is basically just Voice recognition, not "magic". You can easily fake "intelligence" when binding keywords to actions. Basically google search does the same.
What's the difference? The marketing.

I'd say those two and Wolfram Alpha are prime examples of this.

A nice example i can show you with Wolfram Alpha.
As a marketer i would tell you how supernice and innovative Wolfram Alpha is and that you can talk to it and then show you this:

http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=How+is+the+weather+in+B...

Wow, right? Alphas UNDERSTANDS you! It's awesome, buy it! But:

http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=Don%27t+tell+me+the+wea...

Now, that's simple negation that is not understood. It's easy to fix that. It's still not "intelligence" or whatever Apple is calling Siri. It's simple keyword based approach. Unless someone proves to me that the iPhone has the computing power of really understanding humans, it's old technology in a new (and great) design with massive marketing. As always.

Once you see that, you'll see that voice searching for "weather Berlin" and asking "How is the weather in Berlin?" is basically the same. The first one is just faster to execute (type or say).
Only with the second example you can go all crazy and tell people that you reinvented the whole business.

edit:

That said, what is wrong with this link is not how Siri works or who is best or whatever. It's the notion of "Apple was right all along, Google not!!" which is just stupid seeing for how long Google was investing in Voice Recognition. It never was a matter of who is wrong, both companies invested in this technology. Why does it alyways come down to "Apple is right" or "Apple has invented X and Company Y just copies it!", it's ridiculous, like the patent law. Let those companies just build and sell their stuff but don't do all this "Apple was first!" shit, it rarely is. Most products of most companies are really genuine!

I don't know why people even bother with environments like KDE or GNOME.

This is so relevant for India as well. Except in the case of India at this point, the elite are much greater in proportion, but that's because we are behind China in Internet adoption. And also Internet in India is mostly still PC based and not cellphone based.
Well, the benefits of a private fleet of robotic cars is the ability to have many different providers - so I wouldn't want the government to have anything to do with it, save for setting safety standards for robotic vehicles.

There is no need to try and dictate the type of fuel, either.

But I'm interested to understand why people think a robotised taxi service would be much cheaper than human-driven taxi service. Is the driver really the highest marginal cost in the system? Does removing a driver really drive costs down that much? I wouldn't have thought so.

Oh, and your desire to ban manual driving is never going to fly. The most you would want is perhaps dedicated driverless roads where you aren't allowed to drive - much like bus lanes are now. That would allow for higher speed possible if computer systems can show they can safely transport occupants (or goods) at speeds higher than human drivers.
I think you've mistaken the analogy here. China = Wipro/Infosys/TCS. Not Apple/Google/Microsoft = Wipro/Infosys/TCS
That explanation is somewhat problematic with fractional exponents.

The generalization of exponentiation makes the "multiply N times" explanation fail.
Modifying a 2s complement ALU so that if the overflow bit is set, then every bit of the result is set to 1 would be trivial. It's just another n OR gates, and those are pretty cheap (OK, you'd probably want an AND against a control bit, too).

The author doesn't ignore that this would require a change at the hardware level - he says "Processor architectures will have to add a family of integer math instructions that properly propagate NaN values..." - and he is right that the change would not be a costly one.

Kindly find me on Hacker News a single discussion thread which contains comments like this about a male writer of a blog post.

Are you kidding me?

Just about every post that touches on any remotely controversial issue engenders dozens of negative responses.

Post something about how Git's the shit? You'll get a bunch of responses about how crummy Git's error messages are, or about how user-hostile the interface is.

Post something about how Jave programmers suck balls? You'll get a bunch of comments about how bad Lisp-lifers perform when they're thrust into situations where they have to code Java.

Post about NoSQL, and you'll get a bunch of people telling you that you're an idiot for even considering MongoDB when PostgreSQL would do just fine.

Hell, post something about how some obscure paper about brane theory resolves the OPERA experiment and FTL neutrinos, and I'll probably personally tell you a tale about what an idiot the author of the paper is, and why his PhD should be stripped from him for publishing such drivel.

People here are hostile. They criticize by default, and that's the strength of the community. We never accept articles that don't offer evidence for their points, whether it's politically correct or not.

I've seen far nastier responses to most anti-Apple and anti-Google blog posts than to this one...
The overall trend worldwide is toward higher urban density, not less. This is more so in the developing countries - it's unlikely to swing away from this. As long as population is growing, the cities tend to grow (and become more dense) with them.

A few reasons:

1. You can host a separate site on its own IP (and, even better, an IP in a different C subnet than their main site) and point links from that domain to the home domain. Thus link juice gets passed to home domain in a roundabout manner.

As far as the domain becoming irrelevant in two weeks time: it doesn't matter. If it gets some coverage and links from authoritative sources (ala Hacker News, which doesn't nofollow), the domain will gain authority and that authority gets passed on to the other domains it links out to.

2. Buzz. As larrys pointed out, ripoffornot.com is a great, controversial domain name. That alone could inspire a bit more buzz, which -- generally -- means more authority getting passed to the site via links (see point 1) or via social sharing.

3. Highly targeted. When someone searches for zendesk vs. freshdesk, this domain has an extremely high chance of ranking. It uses both terms extensively and includes a bit table comparing the two services. Good for users, great for bots. more over it's attention grabbing and reads well.

4. Reputation Management. Having an influential person talking smack about your brand is obviously not a good thing. What happens if that negative review starts ranking for you name or, even worse, the term "[Brand] Ripoff" starts showing up in google instant results.

No good.

Freshdesk is owning this bit of bad press. When someone searches for "freshdesk ripoff" or something similar there's a good chance this domain will show up because it's targeted (see point 3) more than a blog post could be.

All of those factors mean that this domain is telling one helluva compelling story. People like stories and are happy to spread them around.

If you took offence to the characterisation of the IT community as generally self-absorbed and sexist, you really need to look around. How many women do you work with?

The fact that there are few women in tech does not necessarily mean that IT is self-absorbed and sexist.

Do you look at the nursing community and assume that it is self-absorbed and misandrist simply because there are not many men in it?

Then again, personally I work at an office that is a 50/50 male/female split, so perhaps I'm not the best one to comment on these matters, I don't know what it's like at a "real" tech shop...

You can do all of this right now either using a shared vehicle service (you drive) or getting a car + driver (whether limo or taxi). I'm curious as to why people think that robotising a car would lower the cost of hiring dramatically to the point where you were using it to get to work?

It's my understanding that a taxi driver isn't the major cost in a taxi fare, and that fuel, capital cost + licence costs are the principal component in a taxi fare.

I doubt this sort of thing would make much of a dent in car sales, at least that wasn't offset by sales of the automated cars.

The biggest category for sales of cars is for people who regularly feature a combination of long & short drives in their life. This is typically not your average city-dweller, despite having larger numbers of people within cities. The average mum+2 kids isn't going to trade the family car in any time soon for this type of service, not when the cost of keeping and running an average family car isn't really that burdensome.

Did you checked out the designs of two website? Freshdesk even copy the buttons of Zendesk's homepage. What the fuck are you talking about?
"A couple people complained about their product on twitter and they built a whole page responding to it?"

The CEO of Zendesk made the comment "@benkepes you know what they say. Imitation is the sincerest from of WAIT-WHAT-A-FREAKING-RIP-OFF! ;)"

Even if the allegation is correct, that is no way for a CEO to represent his company. Perhaps he should have contacted Freshdesk (privately) and told them if he thought there were trademark or patent issues, only bringing anything public if they refused to cooperate. If not, he probably should not have replied to the original comment at all.
My wife and her friend each got a 4S on opening weekend, and neither used Siri for longer that a few days. Nothing has changed since our last discussion on that here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3156590

Further, I think the difference between Siri's very-weak-AI capabilities and Apple's presentation of them as strong AI contribute to ridiculous stories like Siri being pro-life. If you really understand how Siri works, you understand how ridiculous that is. But if you believe the commercials, you might think Siri has a personality and makes judgments on things like abortion.
