Yup. It was such a good talk, I assumed it had made the rounds among HNers that I didn't need to link to is. I assumed wrong.

It is a brilliant talk. The only part that he left out of the discussion, but is worthy of a talk in its own right is the notion of the community (formation and characteristics) as one of the artifacts that result from the constructs of a language.

As the CTO of a startup you recently closed an investment round, I think the more appropriate question would be: "with the money you got and your budget, how long can you survive?". I would have no problem answering this to a prospective candidate. Without making sizable revenues or closing another round at some point, a startup will run out of cash.

Ask HN: The law of unintended consequences and SOPA
I think everyone here on HN agrees that SOPA is pretty extreme and mucks around with the foundation of the Internet.

With that in mind, if it passes how could it it fundamentally change how the Internet works for the better?

For example, Napster, being centralized had a single point of failure vulnerable to legal shenanigans. When that single point of failure was attacked by lawyers, people invented systems like Limeware and Kazaa. When those were attacked people invented BitTorrent.

With DNS, a single point of failure vulnerable to lawyers and lawmakers, under attack, it's reasonable to expect that there will be unintended consequences that will make the system more robust.

What technological solutions are feasible and likely to be adopted?

Andres Fierro lanza su amor solo en internet
Back in my PC/Windows days (~3 years ago) the aesthetics of all the linux distros I tried made me uninstall them. Something about the fonts just drove me crazy and I couldn't handle using them. For me, on an individual app basis, it really depends on the function. There are apps that look great but all the chrome makes a horrible UX, generally that is more likely to drive me away. The aesthetic should be at a certain level, but beyond that it's more about the UX for me.

I often uninstall apps based on how the UI looks.
Yes.

Although most often I make initial choices that are based, partly, on aesthetics.

Poorly organized user interfaces are the chief culprit here. Bad typography is another non-favorite; especially with apps that present a lot of type that needs to be read during use.

Since I do a lot of design and development of and with graphics applications, I'm pretty particular about the appearance of things in general. I had a drawing application once that did a horrible job of rendering lines, especially curves. Bunches and knots galore. While the output looked okay at high enough resolutions, the onscreen display was a real impediment to its use. And things flickered terribly while moving elements around.

And a certain large graphics application company switched to a dark grey color scheme for a lot of their apps that's really an affront to my older, squinting eyes. The fact that their UI's organization went to hell in a hand basket was just icing on the cake.

The worse use of color that I can think of was a database editor from 25 or so years ago. I've forgotten the name, but if you got to using it too fast, changing screens, making large selections, etc., it could induce an epileptic fit faster than a Pokemon episode played at high speed.

I don't think most people can give you an accurate answer for this -- the effects of aesthetics on user retention are probably much more subtle.

Example: It's possible that altering the aesthetic of an app in some way will lead to an x% increase in the rate of uninstallation, yet none of the uninstallers would point to "aesthetics" as the reason for their uninstallation or even recognize it as one of the contributing factors.
OCW provides course material for nearly all MIT classes. Will MITx offer interactive online courses at that same scale?

No. MITx will begin by offering a portfolio of selected courses, which will grow over time. The selection of courses will depend on the interests of MIT faculty and online learners and will be determined on a course-by-course basis.

I'm guessing that 6.00 will be one of those classes, but Stanford started with AI/ML/DB so I might be wrong. In any event, the prototype should pretty much correspond with Stanford's new batch of online classes.
I've only done a small amount of Android development, but I recall the stock firmware on the Galaxy S to be somewhat buggy with respect to game development. Things would work, but then crash unexpectedly. The solution was to blacklist that firmware version, so that you didn't get a huge pile of bad reviews due to the crashing.

I might not be remembering the details exactly, it was about a year ago I was working on this stuff.
I really get the feeling, first from OCW, and now this, that MIT really just does want to promote knowledge.

This is seriously one of the coolest things I've heard about in a while.

(I wonder how much "mastery" in some of these classes could play into applying to the school, proper?)

MIT is one of my favorite things, period.
The Zelda Test (or Why no Zelda Clones?)
I had a friend who had to deal with this problem. He harassed his local phone company every week for years. He looked into what a DSLAM would cost and offered to buy it for them. He pleaded that all he wanted to do was give them more money. Then one day, one of their reps told him he was never going to get it, so he stepped it up a notch.

When he felt like he had nothing to lose, he wrote a script to spam them with tickets repeatedly every day, which was completely legal. When they complained about it, he told them all they had to do was get him DSL and the tickets would stop. A week later they told him they'd give him DSL.

Absolutely. The dissonance caused by re-implimentations of standard UI elements has caused me to uninstall many phone applications, several desktop applications, and avoid purchasing a few mainstream applications.

If you don't think the stock UI works well for your application, then you either have special needs, or are wrong. Special needs can be implemented however you like, since they're by definition not handled with standard widgets. Re-implementations of standard widgets, however, immediately stand out to me, and make using an application similar to listening to out-of-tune musicians.
Conferences, Hackathons and Meetups in 2012
I have hard time believing you have actually read the comment you were replying to. Let me be more explicit:

The historical bias against women is giant and undeniable. Feminists, male and female, have had to fight vigorously to make it as far as we have. Women still face substantial sexism today.

It is also true that men face some sexism. One could argue (very wrongly in my opinion) that we have finally reached the point where harm due to sexism is about the same for men and women.

Regardless, if you leap into a discussion of anti-female sexism and male privilege by only talking about how gosh darned hard it is for men, you look like an ass. By not acknowledging the many decades of struggle, or all of the existing anti-female behavior, you give the impression that you don't care about it. People will assume you're of a piece with the people who've been acting similarly for the last 150 years.

That's entirely alienating, so you're insane to think that the people who have been busily fighting for equality for most of their lives are going to be moved by comments like yours.

I find myself constantly writing down ideas in a notepad/phone/document.

Many of them are simple, one liners to remember the idea.

Others have expanded (even on my phone) into multi-page ideas, features, things to consider.

That helps me write down things to work on at a later date.

I let the idea bake for a moment and when I'm really passionate about it I will give it a go.

Each failure though helps me realise what to look out for next time.

For example, like you, I also run out of momentum.

You need to pick projects that are _achievable_ in a few months (especially when you're putting in after-hours work, and it isn't your day job) to avoid picking up a project too big for the amount of time you can afford.

I still write down those huge ideas, who knows if I will ever do them, but I don't pick them up (or totally forget them, either) because they are too much work to do right now.

Pick the projects that sound good (and cut feature's you don't really need for launch), do it incrementally, even with a friend if that helps you stay on track, and make sure it's something you can do in a reasonably short amount of time.
My prediction is SOPA will not pass. In the near future, a new bill will be introduced. Similar, but different theme. They will target child pornography. "SOCPA": "Stop Online Child Pornography Act"

Addendums to this new bill will be added late in the process, containing all the major clauses that the entertainment industry wants, expanding the powers from simply controlling child pornography to controlling anything that is copyrighted. This version of the bill will pass and there's not much we can do to stop it.
And once again you try to derail the discussion. I'm done, thanks.

The algorithm described by Heike is essentially just looking for striped red and white shirts. Anyone who's done more than a couple of "Where's Waldo?" games knows that striped shirts are often thrown in to draw one's eye. In fact, in this very example there is another striped shirt (lower left corner, just above the wall) which could very well have been Waldo that this algorithm did not highlight. Without being able to recognize Waldo's human characteristics (thin, glasses, strong chin) the approach described will inevitably fail.
The reasoning would be simple: The corrupt members of the government have levied a body of men to overthrow the democratic institution that we call the United States of America.

http://law.onecle.com/constitution/article-3/41-levying-war....

"Major" Bloomberg: "The NYPD is my Army", Homeland Security trampling on the US Constitution at every opportunity and at the order of congress, warrantless wiretaps, etc etc. Peaceable Protest made impossible by bureaucracy. Establishment of "First Amendment" zones for the press - where they can't see what's going on. Congress/Executive/SCOTUS making a tidy living from bribes^H^H^H Free Speech Expressed As Money.

There are a great many "bodies of men" acting unconstitutionally in this country, so assuming that a revolution took place, I don't think this line of prosecution would have much of a problem, do you? If a revolution doesn't take place, I think its pretty safe to say that the Government will take your side on the matter.
It is interesting how games differ from sports or academic contests. In sports, losing is OK because it makes you work harder to become stronger or smarter. In games, losing (or winning) is almost pointless because getting better at the game doesn't make you better at anything else in your life; so the value is in feeding some emotional or anesthetic aspect.
I assume that by "aesthetics" you specifically mean visual beauty. With a more general definition of "aesthetics," any time you remove an app because you don't like it would qualify.
I see, I thought you were saying that it is only of concern to Americans and thus not suitable for HN.

Google Zeitgeist 2011
There are quite a few software companies in Thailand. I know a guy with 100+ local staff building iOS software. The problem with doing business in Thailand is the foreign ownership laws (you can't own your company or the building it's in) and the amount of bureaucratic red tape. The rising cost of living is also making Thailand less attractive. I've read it's on par with Chicago now. I'm not sure how that's measured but I could certainly live comfortably in Chicago for what I spend in a month here. Import taxes are outrageous. I paid 150% for my car.

I used to run a company in Thailand (not tech) but now I just live here and run a company offshore. I've become pretty negative about the place with all of its idiosyncrasies and don't think I'd set up another company here.

I've currently got my eyes on HK. Friends of friends have established several business hiring locals (though not purely tech companies) there. Everything I've heard is that it's straightforward to get setup there. It's also easy to stay there with the various visa programs they have in place.

From all the evidence I've seen, the only ones who like SOPA are the entertainment industry, and last time I checked they weren't elected to any governmental position.

Look, I hate SOPA etc etc, but I think you are going a bit overboard here.

The entertainment industry is a large employer, and the people employed by it are constituents.

You and I may think that SOPA isn't the best way forward, but it is easy to argue that it might protect old, dying industries and the jobs they represent.

Lobby groups are how the voices of people are heard in Washington. It isn't ideal, but nor is it necessarily as corrupt as you are making out.
We don't move all logic into the database. Presentation logic, for example, is certainly not there. Also there are things like sales tax which cannot reasonably be put there.

The thing though is that one can always get a consultant to do sales tax logic. The big thing is if you know SQL and HTML the rest can come easily enough.

Then he happened on an article about a little-known government project: The Secret Service has been working with manufacturers of color laser printers to place tiny, imperceptible yellow dots on printed pages so that the government can track the machine that produced them. Good put the puzzle under a blue-light filter and saw the dots.

That's a great hack! Kudos to the team.

The article was about basic accounting principles, not enterprise valuation.

Its unlikely that anyone who was reading that article to learn about the basics of accounting would be able to gain anything at all from your comment.
In addition to the excellent questions here about revenue and runway, if equity is a significant part of your comp (read: if you could make more money elsewhere and you're not taking the pay hit because it's the job of your dreams) there are more things you need to know. I'd want to know total investment, the liquidation preference and if the preferred stock is participating. This will give you a good idea of the exit required for your stock to actually be worth anything. Knowing the makeup of the board is useful too, i.e. how many are VCs compared to common holders.
It will be interested to see what happens in North Korea. It seems to me the current condition is unsustainable--their government must see that, and they need to do something. The death of Kim Jong Il would be a good way to start a transition.
