Ask HN: Pitch Practice on Skype?
Would any founders on HN like to schedule a weekly pitch practice on Skype?

I really need to practice and perfect my pitch and I think skype sessions would really help as its convenient and helps one improve ones pitch through practice and feedback.

Let me know if you a founder and is interested in practicing your pitch over skype.
The actions flowed from the company credo which is engraved in granite
at the entry to company headquarters, which makes crystal clear that
customers are first, then employees, and shareholders absolutely last.

Why do businesses attempt to create hierarchical order where order doesn't exist? A business with extremely happy customers, happy employees and low return on investment (including other non-monetary value) for shareholders is a failed venture. Ranking stakeholders by their importance makes it easy to create harmful (and often implicit) rules and practices that fail to address the needs of all stakeholders.

Companies should instead encourage employees to think about decisions from a wide range of perspectives including customer satisfaction, employee morale and business profitability. Creating a new procedure or rule that employees must adhere to could greatly please customers. However it may create extra menial and unappealing work for employees, lowering morale to harmful levels. It could cost the company a lot of resources that would be better spent elsewhere.

You are doing it wrong. I started my business 4 years ago, while being a full-time student. Only this year I have decided to drop from University to test the waters. I made during the last 4 years enough to survive for 1 year (rent+food+internet), setup my desk, register my company and hire an accountant, and buy some cool stuff (smartphone, watch, tablet...)

Looking back and connecting the dots, if I have decided to take on my business full-time 4 years ago and be financially independent, I'll be a total fail. There is a hell lot of things that I learnt during this 4 years that can't be learnt just in few months.

Start your business in the side to learn the clues. Get a few clients and make some profit. Save at least a full year expenses. Go full time and work 40/45 hours a week while reading stuff and HN in the remaining of the time.

This is actually hard work.
Thanks -- this is very helpful. I definitely think you attract a different breed of people than the other cities you mention. I think working at a startup is starting (or is) to become very chic in NY -- we'll see what affects that has going forward.
> Our society used to be based on concepts like honor.

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

Society was never based on honor; it was always about worshiping those who succeeded, regardless of how bad they had been, as long as they did some good at some point. see, e.g. Rockefeller, Carnegie, Mellon & Gates in recent times, and basically all fondly remembered kings and barons in earlier times.

Society adapts, in part, by giving socially acceptable deeds a normative description and concept. The socially acceptable statements lag the deeds, not lead them.

> People see Wall Street crash-creators testifying at Congress answering "I do not recall" to 100% of the questions. Instead of dishonoring those liars

"These liars" applies equally well to congress as to those wall street execs (with whom the former are figuratively, "in bed", and have been for the last century or so)

Really, the only thing that has changed is ease of access to information. Human greed, actions and norms as reflected by social response, by and large, haven't.
Good points. I've gone through the 500 or so startups (there's probably more than that) and there are definitely a lot of fashion/media focused ones, where NY is probably the best city to be to do those kinds of startups.

"I don't buy that this is a step backwards."

You're also, by the way, talking about the decline if not the death of a view-source web, a semantic web, and a hypermedia focused web, and probably some other things I'm missing.

Why are hidden rollover affordances so stupid? Because the user doesn't know they are there.
the user is not going to intuit that the function
must be invisible because he can't see it

User intuition changes over time as familiarity with new interfaces is gained. A system whereby edit/action buttons appear only when the mouse is on the right hand side of the screen seems reasonable -- if users have trained themselves to expect this behaviour and UIs consistently use this pattern in predictable ways.

If every user interface with mouse input used a "hover the cursor to the right of the screen for edit/action buttons" pattern, it'd become quite natural to users.

Gnome 3 is a good example of where hidden elements are used successfully. Hovering the mouse in the top left "Activities" corner of the screen will show hidden content. The bottom right corner of the screen also shows hidden content (this time, without any visual affordance). Users learn to expect the hidden items to appear when hovering the cursor. No affordance is required. The downside is that users may not be able to discover this behaviour without help from a tutorial or manual (at least until "hot corners" become a standard UI pattern).
Incorporation is a privilege granted by society; and property rights are never absolute. What you state is extremely individualistic, but it is unrealistic and naive for the same reason. I understand your exhortation, but it does not amount to an argument. For example, most large companies with broad shareholder bases have no owner interests that you can easily point to; the shareholder base has collective action problems, and frequently cannot meaningfully affect the company.

I think you're at risk of deriving an ought from an is yourself. You take capitalist ownership structures, which exist for the hopeful progress of society at large, but you infer an ought from them, that the only thing that is fair is that ownership is absolute in control over what it owns.

> Remember the diamond app when the iPhone first came out? It cost $999 and put a picture of a diamond on your phone…I doubt those guys made a ton of money, but I’m SURE they broke even

I'm sure they didn't, because when a customer requests a refund from Apple, Apple deduces the full price of the application from the developer's account.

They sold one, got their 70% cut (~$700), the buyer asked for a refund, $999 was deduced from their account, and they were ~$300 in the red. About that time, they removed the app from the store.

Actually I've tried Calepin before creating my own solution. Calepin is 99% of what I need, but the last 1%, that Calepin requires me to click the "Publish" on their site every time, drives me nuts. I just want to save the Markdown file and it automatically appears on my site.

This isn't Calepin's fault, though. It's because Dropbox doesn't support event notification yet. The offical Dropbox API cannot inform a 3rd-party app that something changes in a user's Dropbox folder. So the app has to poll, which isn't allowed on a large scale, or ask the user to manually notify the app about updates, which is painful. See this thread on Dropbox forum for details http://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=20226&replies=45

Joe's, Marco's, and mine solutions basically avoid the last part and let me just write.
I agree completely with you, and bestow upon you the title of designer. Good design includes sympathy for the user and common sense. Misconceptions about what is common sense are dispersed and corrected with user testing.

Some sort of clue would be really helpful. Advanced options can do in an options panel, but there needs to be someway to see the options panel exists.

Despite my horror and long post, I myself do use one form of invisible element in my own designs. Context menus. Right click and get tools that are relevant to what the mouse is currently above. This is a useful place to stick shortcuts for advanced users. It's not as great for things that are very rarely used. But here is the thing. Although there are definitely those who use them all the time, the hard core users, almost no normal users use them or are aware of them. In usability testing, if you ask someone to perform a task on an interface they have just seen for the first time, not even 1 in 100 will be able to do it if it depends on right clicking to find a menu item with the command. Users do not click on things they don't see. Since I use right click menus all the time it's easy to think others do as well. Well they will if they see it in a tutorial video, or someone demonstrating to them. I have had customers that have used my designs for many years and I meet them and go to demo something and when they see a right click use, invariably the response is something like "Oh, I didn't know you could do that!" Not right click, but do the hidden function. They know there is a right mouse button. They just don't use it to find contextual menus. Right click menus are there for the advanced users. So there's stuff that is faster to get to with the menu, but I try to always have another way to do the same thing. Rarely there are very advanced things. And yes I put them there to not clutter up the interface. Sometimes it is some rarely used function for which there is no obvious way to present it in a UI. It shouldn't be the only way to do anything done commonly, and probably shouldn't be the only way to do anything important. If it's something trivial and optional to use of the program, sure it can be an easter egg to be found by the hard core users.
Sure. I'm not addressing the non-geeky part of the problem :)
Spollywood - Spolier website, watch out
The statement 'maximizing shareholders value' is meaningless without the timeframe. The correct phrasing is to 'maximize shareholders value in the long term'. The 'long term' bit is crucial, and it is not reflected in today's management incentives.

The choice that managers of public companies are facing is the well known "Consume vs. Invest". Or, in the terms of an evolutionary fitness landscape, "Exploit vs. explore".

If a manager wants to maximize his next quarter's earnings, he could stop new product development, shut down customer service and equipment maintenance departments and sell, sell, sell. He could have a short short-term spike in profitability, but in the long term the company won't survive. He has exploited his current position but has failed to explore, to look to the new opportunities and threats, and to provide for the future.

(Note: the manager could also buy a portfolio of high-yielding/high risk securities hoping that the crash will not happen before his next bonus is due. This is the same thing -- maximising short-term gains at the expense of the long-term prospects of the company).

The manager could also overexplore, that is to overinvest in customer and product development, purchase the newest equipment and end up with a croud of excited customers and an exciting new technology/product, but no liquidity left in the bank to live to see it taking over the market.

"Maximizing shareholders value" idea got a bad press, because it has become associated with the 'exploit' approach. Managers endanger the long-term prospects of the company because they can be paid well for achiving relatively short-term goals.

But the working definition should be "Maximizing shareholders value in the long term"

Let's make the law that the managers' options can only be excersized after 10 years. That'll do the trick.
I don't think "people I hate" would be a circle, because once you add somebody to a circle their posts appear on your homepage.

The owners can do what they want to do without a business. So why create a business? If the owners just want to have a place to park their money, they can have a trust. If they want to do good in the world they can make a non-profit, or an NGO.

The only valid definition of a business purpose - creating customers.

If they don't want customers (one, few or many), they shouldn't start a business.

As much as I innately agree with Brent's premise from my own experiences, I too would like to see some research. Especially since he even says:

Affordance is a clue something gives regarding its use.

I misinterpreted your "What is the affordance of invisibility?" question as in "what are the benefits of invisibility?". Thanks for clarifying. I didn't know (and couldn't find) that specific definition of affordance. Is it a technical term?

Just seeing the interface component intrinsically describes its use. This is not possible for invisible components, therefore they have no affordance at all.

It's true. But this isn't very relevant to this article is it? we're talking about hidden items, not invisible items.

"Your brain is able to predict that if you don't see it, it might very well be rollover-only."
This statement is so wrong I don't even know how to react to it or steer you away from this sort of thinking. I'm just completely taken aback. Not trying to be argumentative or anything, but no no no no no. No, the user is not going to intuit that the function must be invisible because he can't see it. Arg.

You can be argumentative by showing some reasoning to your opinion. That would help. What is wrong with my statement in your perspective? Either way maybe I can clarify further. I don't think intuition and experience (prediction) are separated. I strongly believe in Jeff Hawkin's theory [1]. All we do is this: we learn things, and later, based on what we learned, we make predictions, and act based on those predictions. And I think this is very relevant with interface design. If a certain pattern becomes frequent, people will become familiar with that pattern, and that pattern will become more usable. The drawback to that is that some patterns may be crappy, but it's still something I take into consideration in making interfaces, consciously or not. Of course you can try to ignore all that and think completely outside of the box - I've tried it a few times and while it's a lot of fun, a lot of people get disoriented for longer, even though the concepts are simple. Think about how fast the learning curve in a simple 2D platform game is. Their rules are quite alien to our real world (super high jumps without dying, hitting bricks throws a mushroom, etc etc) but what makes that learning curve really fast is that we've learned it again and again. It wasn't easy the first time, but 2D platform are a familiar pattern; my generation has learned it since early age, with Mario and Sonic. Intuitive is, in a way, anything that feels familiar. And a familiar pattern in github is hidden functionality that appears with a rollover. If I don't see something, I can guess that it may show up when I so a rollover.

Here is the proof. Usability testing.

How does usability testing prove that "the user is not going to intuit that the function must be invisible because he can't see it"? Can you elaborate? Have you done the testing or have you read about it being statistically proven otherwise?

[1] http://www.ted.com/talks/jeff_hawkins_on_how_brain_science_w... (to be clear I'm alluding to the part about prediction)
This 'hiding' makes sense with lists of items, each of which has the same options. You wouldn't want to see 30 identical delete icons, it would be ugly. There are two important examples. Twitter hides the actions buttons and facebook doesn't.

Twitter uses icons and media-poor tweets. So having the actions invisible is the best way to go, otherwise the UI will be too cluttered with actions.

Facebook has wider spacing, more graphics in the post itself, and its actions are text-only. That's why they can be visible - they don't distract you from the content.

So I wouldn't say having invisible actions is bad. It's just not always good.
And right there you define where you should and shouldn't use roll-over based UI elements: if a UI element is only useful as part of interacting with another, then hiding it in other situations makes sense (e.g., clearing a text field as part of editing the text in the field).
