Why hackers become investors?
Every hacker that I know created a great startup, and after it went full cycle, they've gone on to investing in startups. PG is a great example.
Why does it happen? I understand that a pile of money under your bed calls for investment, but people take it further, they make it their eventual career. Can we conclude that the whole idea of creating a startup is also a form of investment/ speculation?
Great article and it goes both ways of course. Curiosity about another person is the only way to keep things fresh, regardless of how platonic the relationship is.

For geeks: remember that sometimes there are much more interesting things in the analog world than whatever you're immersed in digitally. ;)

10 Best Homescreens of 2011 at MyColorscreen Blog
This has been available in form of CreateSpace, Lulu, FastPencil etc in USA for quite a long time. My own company, pothi.com provides a similar platform to Indian authors and to outside authors targeting Indian market.

I personally believe that future of a lot of traditional publishing companies is going to be of a curator working on top of such platforms. Even today many publishers depend on book packaging companies that take in the manuscript or even an outline and deliver the ready-to-print book.

Measuring education quality of a country by how many nobel prizes came out is like measuring the quality of car manufacturing of a country by checking how many F1 championship winners came from that country.

I get really sad when I see education policies just to increase the output nobel prize winners, no matter what. As if education and science where all about winning prizes that are highly political.
> I've always been leery of people who are obsessed with work to this extent. If work is your only metric, then yeah, its great.

There are some people who get obsessed with work, getting most if not all of their energy into work. Many don't even know what they're chasing for, often bringing them to some predicament at a point in time. Yet there are a few people in a peculiar situation, who happen to have an understanding of a tiny shard of life, which give them a unique insight. You could strive to be the best at your work and you wouldn't hold a candle to them, because work is not the point, it's the means to an end. Their body commands them reach that end. Their mind unconsciously arches towards that goal every single minute. They have to do it. And you are right, you can not emulate that.

This article did not really mention that he found too few entrepreneurs, just that he didnt get on with the investors. Community needs to be there first, and investment cannot create it. Not sure that someone deciding they cant make enough money is an indication of anything about the potential.

Strongly disagree with the article.
you have to ask yourself: How often are you searching for a contact and want to edit it and not only view it?
On average, most people won't edit it, so it's useless to have an edit button 90% of the time.

I think it's a pretty neat solution. The poster only has to get accustomed to 21st century technology, it's not 1990 anymore with textfields and buttons all over the place.
It's like the typical rant of an old grandfather, complaining that something has changed and that everything was better decades ago. Bullshit. Just be a bit more flexible.

The placement of the hidden edit button can be discussed though. I am wondering why the github button is so far away from the content to edit...

Another example: The G+ profile editing is one of the best i have ever seen. It's "this is how your profile looks like to another person, hover the field and edit it". It's just easy and it's change something where it is shown, not going to another page and edit some values and go back and forth to see the changes.
I gave up from C99 and its successors when I saw that they introduced _Bool. Actually, I've never understood the meaning behind having a boolean type in any language. [It would kinda make sense if conditionals accepted ONLY boolean arguments, and then having bool type would make sense only as a return value of a function. Why somebody feels a need to declare a boolean variable is beyond me.]

Notifo still seems to be running?
Does anyone know about any ebook selling platforms that offer digital watermarking that uses steganography? i.e. to detect who has pirated your materials, via a secret message that dox'es the original purchaser.

I see no platform that will take your text (or PDF) and offer good watermarking. Or, for that matter, any watermarking besides a name and email on every page.

Name and email is easily defeated, because this is easily stripped.

A successful system would be a multi-pronged, steganographic watermark approach. The approach would, unfortunately, rely upon security by obscurity.

Whitespace approaches are good, but can be defeated by pdf2text followed by PDF creation. Nonetheless, they form a decent prong.

Additionally, there is a language-model (NLP) based approach based upon synonym substitution. Some common words can be replaced with synonyms without significantly altering the meaning of the text. So if word A has 8 replacements, I just added three bits to my secret message, the watermark. (I can't find the citation, sorry. If there is sufficient interest, I can dig it up. Or email me.)

Additionally, these approaches can be improved by adding error correction, in case there are minor modifications to the PDF.

As I said, these approaches are a weak form of security, but current approaches offer no security.

Exercise for the reader: If you can identify the pirate of your book, does this really matter? You can at best shame the pirate, but not undo their damage (widespread piracy), is my current understanding. Unless your technology is so good that, like Google with SEOs, people are sufficiently aware of your excellence that they are scared to even dare to try to beat you. Discuss.

There was a time in America where if you committed fraud, no matter how "technically legal", you would be lynched. Until dead. And juries would acquit your murderer.

Citation needed.

Or more to the point - when exactly do you think think period was?

For example, in 1804 the sitting vice president (Burr) was accused (probably correctly) of corrupt dealings. He challenged his accuser to an (illegal) pistol duel and killed him[1]. Burr was charged with murder, but the charges were dropped and Burr continued his political career "out west". This was hardly an isolated incident - US history is full of similar examples - not exactly the honourable behaviour you seem to believe was the norm.

poverty has gone up, both worldwide and in America

I don't have the figures to hand for the US, but worldwide the opposite is true. In percentage terms the proportion living in poverty now is roughly half what it was in 1980[1]. In absolute terms it has dropped from 1.5 billion in 1981 to 1.1 billion in 2001[2].

Context sensitivity is a great justification for hidden elements. Litter your page with visible edit buttons and, in a poorly designed UI, you might forget what part of the page each edit button binds to.

It makes sense to show only some controls when your mouse or cursor is focussed in the right place, because then you know those controls are relevant to what you're doing.

What I think was overlooked with the two examples - Github and google - is the replacement of text-based controls with icon-based ones. Github's top nav is now just tiny icons, the Google pages are all icons. You can barely tell what these are unless you hover over them long enough to see an explanation. This is the real problem, I think.

the best way to have change is to make it, not wait for the rich. and i think this is obvious (not just here in chile, but anywhere - there must be a dozen posts on hn a day complaining about the complacency of those in charge of the status quo). so it seems very odd to read: the Chilean government would have supported my fund, but I also wanted a commitment from the elite, and it didn’t happen.

if you wait for the entrenched families here to change, you will be waiting a long time.

Make Your Injury Claim Under No Win No Fee Legal contract
Any journal or newspaper you select up, are going to have stories of several people getting injured in almost any circumstances. People may have got wounded in a vehicle accident, faulty work environment or elsewhere. These injury are actually caused a result of disregard of 3rd person and so you need to apply for a claim. Injury refers to whatever lesion which had been the result of an incident or any variety of mishap.

"""What you state is extremely individualistic, but it is unrealistic and naive for the same reason."""

Actually not at all. It just takes a certain type of society that wants to have and enforces such norms.
This is a much more civilized response than my initial reaction, which was "go fuck yourself, mhartl".

The reason for that indignation was, as you pointed out, the obvious truth that without society's extension of limited legal liability, there would be no business in the first place - or, at least, not one with the scale and structure of a publicly traded company. And no, society does not grant this liability protection for free. Nor does it expect to get the short end of the deal. It has a stake in the outcome, and it expects that stake to be rewarded - no less than an investor expects a return on his capital.

mhartl's implication that "only shareholders have any legitimate interest" represents a trifecta of ignorance (of the law) ingratitude (for what it grants) and arrogance (in assuming that his counter-party is irrelevant). It is supremely egocentric and inevitably destructive.

You see the same warped sense of self expressed by people who go around saying "I'm a job creator" as though they were god-like individuals who combined - in a single person - holy trinity of supply, demand, and the ability to connect them that comprise any given job. In reality, jobs - like economic growth - are a product of several interactions that create a favorable situation for employment. No one person or organization controls all of them, or even (in most cases) a majority of them.

What these "job creators" can safely say is "I hire and fire." That's a much more honest description, and one that clearly implies the existence of factors outside their control about which they simply make judgements. Their role is good and necessary, but it is not creative in the sense of having invented, built, or authored a thing. More importantly, people who hire and fire well (aka "managers") are acutely aware of the broader milieu in which they operate, the extent to which they depend on it, and the degree to which their own well-being depends on the health of those around them.

Obliviousness to this vital interdependency remains deeply stupid. And unlike a temporary impairment (e.g. getting very drunk) or a moral impairment (e.g. a propensity to steal), the ethical blindness it represents is not something that the people who have it are usually aware of. Nor is it something about which they can easily be made aware. They simply lack the frame of reference needed to understand what they lack. Just consider colorblindness; a person who cannot see a limited part of the spectrum can still grasp the idea of color, and can make allowances for what they can't detect directly. But a person who has no sense of color whatsoever has no point of reference they can use to grasp even the idea of color.

When it comes to responsibility, people like mhartl fall into the latter camp. Their minds simply cannot process the idea of social reciprocity. That is to say, they have no real ethics. In extreme cases, this makes them properly sociopathic. If you find yourself working with a person like this, distance yourself as soon as possible. They are dangerous, entirely self-serving, and prolonged exposure will get you hurt.
They allow you to cross-post certain things to Twitter.

Apart from that, Twitters permission system is very coarse. There are only three access levels.
The command line?

You don't want to make any of your administration tools on your production server, or any server for that matter, visible to the world.

Your options thus are:
1. Don't use them in the first place
2. Restrict who can access them (eg. IP whitelist) and how (eg. VPN, on the local network)

It's not really about what you use, but what steps you take to make sure no one else can use it against you.
And if you don’t have even a basic understanding of what your spouse does with 40+ hours of his/her week, then you’re not on a team.

That's quite the generalization. My wife has almost no knowledge of most areas of my work, but it's never been a negative or caused any friction in my non-work life. That said, I don't really have much interest in sharing it either, as there's more than enough to discuss and do as a family outside of my work hours.
One advantage of a non-standard SSH port is it cuts down on log file clutter and sends the script kiddies elsewhere to look for their low hanging fruit. But, as you say, nothing to do with Apache.

I still don't get how a few thousand lost domains hurt when godaddy has over 32 million..

Idea:
Wouldn't it make sense to build a website that lists SOPA supporters, how to cancel subscriptions step-by-step (in case of godaddy) or listing competitors (in case of L'Oreal, etc.)? Something easy enough for the non-techies. Something that describes in small bulletpoints how evil SOPA/PROTECT-IP is (and thus the supporting companies)..
Most people probably don't care about godaddy, but i'm sure more people care about L’Oreal, Tiffany&Co, Pfizer.
I'm not american so it's hard to tell how much attention those companies and SOPA gets in general.. on HN it's all about godaddy and nothing about the rest, though.

In short, i'm wondering if the resources to build such websites couldn't be used better (pointing out companies that the general public knows about).. just saying..

Usability testing should involve more than just "time taken for a new user to become familiar with the interface". Experienced users also need to be observed to ensure that prolonged use also shows desirable usability results.

Pop-ups providing first use advice to users may improve usability results for new users. For experienced users, pop-ups are likely to decrease usability.

Placing many buttons on a screen will likely make it harder for new users to start using the interface. They will have to investigate many more options amongst the clutter, leading to more decision making ("what is this button? do I click it?") and a corresponding decrease in usability.

In the case of GitHub, the question of whether new and/or experienced users regularly need to use the "Edit" button needs to be investigated. The cost of making an interface control highly visible to new users may exceed the cost of experienced users needing to search for help on how to perform the rare action.
