Exactly! Startup founders who don't like foursquare is a great example of "you are not your most important user". I'm pretty sure crowley never intended it to be used this way but was smart enough to realize the business need when it fell into his lap.
The aspect of profit that is potentially bad is the maximization part. Based on the cost of the machine and some kind of statistical model, let's say that we determine that the inventor can make the most money (per time worked) if he sells his machines for $6000. Moreover, those who buy the machines can run the same kind of rational statistical analysis and sell the produced pads for $0.20 each (instead of $0.03).

Now only 25-50% of rural women are using these sanitary napkins, but the makers are maximizing their profits. How long before another person comes along and designs a similar machine that can narrow the profit margin?

Theoretical capitalism is quite efficient in theory, but in practice there are a lot of difficulties realizing it. In this case, it is admirable that people are willing to forgo maximal profit in an effort to instead look after the health of as many women as possible.
This is the same type of thing that soured me on python. Choice overload.

Rolf Kuonen: Interview VII – RealAcad Mondays
Re: the social issue - all the young dudes on the team were really in to Star Craft, which is great, but not something I can really have a conversation about. They offered me a job because I was still a perfectly cordial / competent person. I just didn't bond with my teammates beyond a very superficial, professional level.
I might be biased, I currently work in the healthcare industry down in ol' New Zealand.

I must say, the state of some of the software that's being used widely nationwide is absolutely atrocious.

Wherever you live in the world - if you make some good software for healthcare, all it will take is some balls and a lot of persistance to hit the jackpot.

Site operators are not always the best group to determine what makes an overall good browsing experience. In this case, I agree with the other posters that the service changes the nature of a browsing experience in a way that is unwelcome.

I remember when blink and marquee tags were popular among site owners.
The article points out that one possible reason for the people's reluctance is distrust. In the case of the author, his family died because of a double agent. Who is to say that if you conspire with your fellow comrades to overthrow your leader, one of your peers will not out you. Civil unrest does not work without undying social trust.

It's actually a detailed analysis of a general class of cases of why Ruby crashes. Yes, it is critical of existing Ruby implementations, but it also shows how to solve the problem.

I've learned my lesson, though - if I don't have praise for Ruby, I'll just shut up.
One of us has misunderstood the others' post. As I have already written; I agree with you, I can't think of any game in Zelda's specific genre that beats or even comes close to Zelda's quality. I only pointed out that there are actually many games that clone Zelda's game mechanics at large, which imo the article's author completely missed for some strange reason. (None of the games he listed are actually games that fall within Zelda's genre.)
More to the point the topic wasn't really about obscure bugs in ruby. The backend was failing due to getting slammed which admittedly could make some nasty bugs surface.

Did you see the section on the front page where it describes recent new users as "Latest kiwis"? I.e an attempt to create a shorthand description for one group of people (their customers), using a word already used to (self-)describe another group of people (and that has been for decades).

None of your examples are of that category, taking a word with a pre-existing meaning in a given context and trying to give it a new meaning for commercial gain within that same context.
Coming from a country that had it almost as bad as North Korea, I can say that nothing can be done from outside and little can be done from inside.

There is only a handful of people that are in charge in North Korea that can try to effect some kind of change. But even if suddenly one day they wake up with the best of intentions and all cleared up about where they would want to go, i.e. to achieve some sort of South Korean democracy, it will be extremely hard to improve anything in a short amount time (and by short time I mean around 10 years).

Basically the people living there today are screwed. Ideologically they have grown up to expect everything handed down from the state. How can the state hand down everything if it doesn't own everything? Economically, maybe 90% of economic activity is useless. In a free economy all of them would be closed. How would you cope with 90% unemployment?

They do and they don't. Yes, it is true that MRI machines weigh 5 tons because of the magnetic fields generated and the amount of hardware required to constrain those fields.

But you could imagine an MRI machine that works with lower strength fields and better sensor technology. Imagining one is a far cry from being able to build one though and I don't see this happening in the near future (if at all).

I think this prediction (like most of IBM's predictions about the future) is strong on marketing and very weak on science.

The Forgotten Anino Firewall Project
Alright, I'll bite and provide the party line for the idealistic internet at large:

Moderate: No one cares about fixing the DMCA. Most of us want to kill copyright.

Radical: Many of us realize that copyright is already dead and we just haven't had the funeral yet.

Extreme: ideas cannot really properly be owned. We have made do with an imperfect system in order to try to reward intellectual creation. That system is failing, hard, and we're going to get rid of it: patents, copyright, the whole shebang.

Ok, party line recitation ended, carry on.
Check HTC history. They've been the OEM makers for many smartphones before Apple came out with the iPhone. They made Windows CE and Windows Mobile phones for years. Only when Android was available commercially, they switched to Android.

Touch interface? Apple deployed capacitive touch commercially, but resistive touch has been out for a very long time.
I've learnt and used both. Even after programming in Clojure for a year, I'm more productive in Scala because of its familiarity and because there is less of an "impedance mismatch" between Scala and available Java libraries.

However, I would recommend Clojure as the language to learn. The community is very beginner friendly, the language takes me to interesting places and some of the libraries are so elegant they are an absolute pleasure to use.

I believe learning Clojure is a good investment - as it matures more parts of the Java ecosystem will be covered by Clojure libraries, its a good practical way to learn a Lisp (which is worthwhile in itself) and its a good practical way to appreciate Emacs (which is worthwhile too).
Does this mean they're going to claim the rest of the island as their own, then perhaps annex Brooklyn and the other outer boroughs?
I am not so sure a corporation would keep the price low as a non-profit (or subsidized by the government). A lot of people replying to me said manufacturing in bulk would reduce the price there by achieving what a government subsidy cannot. I don't believe that to be true at all. Simply put if there is more money to be made a corporation will do so. A business would never ever reduce the price to bare minimum possible. There is no need for a business to go super cheap and cater to all the available market. That is not how businesses operate. In other words he could sell the same thing for 3 times the price and still sell enough. That is not his objective. I do agree that it probably would have been a sustainable model but cheaper definitely not.

Then to your other points. The shampoo sachets did bring shampoo to the common man not the poor. Businesses had to innovate because back then even the middle class could not afford shampoo. Also I hear many people used (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sapindus) before the shampoo with perfectly good results and so compelling them to move away from it required a really good motivation and a really low price was it.
The great thing about bold predictions is nobody ever remembers them if you're wrong, but you look like a genius if you're right.

They removed a restriction. If you are restricted less, you can do more, but you have to learn the new things you can do. Java people can still do what they're used to: that is simpler, they just do not declare the interface implementations. But they are still not using Go fully.

With 1.6 Million Daily Users, Cut The Rope Launches A Comic Series
This article was so jam-packed full of meaningless drivel that I think I'm going to be sick. Why does every argument have to be framed as noble startup versus evil corporation, when all you did was write twenty lines of Javascript? If I issued a press release every time I wrote a simple computer program, I'd have my own Library of Congress by now.

(I clicked through to another article on that site raving about CloudFlare saving the Internet. Apparently by providing managed Apache hosting, they are un-breaking the broken Internet. Wow, amazing! Next week on The Tech Wankosphere and Hacker News: "jrock.us CEO runs apt-get upgrade; picks up a few bugfixes". That's right folks, I'm saving the Internet!)

I think the negative responses are trying to tell you what you've missed: If, 9 months ago, you had no serious press or startup experience, you have no idea what the startup should do "in most cases". At best, you have a not-yet-validated idea of what your own startup should do. At worst, you have a mistake you'll reflect upon later.
Check on all except for the blanket, thank you for the reminder. Preparation is half the battle with anything.

Incidentally I found it quite hard to find a 'non-toy' first aid kit. Most companies will sell you a crappy set of contents in a very spiffy looking plastic box, that would be mostly useless in any situation beyond nicking your finger while peeling potatoes.

Ah, I was wondering how come my development environment had slowed down so much in the past couple of releases. Had I known enough to check for it I probably would have found out about that rails-dev-tweaks Gem sooner.

Anyway, yes I think that this release fixes those issues. However, there appears to be a problem with the SASS @import command and partials[1] so I haven't been able to fully test my system yet with all it's assets working properly.

Well there's only so many dictators we can knockout at any one time. We've been targeting those oil rich countries in the past decade where the ROI will be worth our while. The minerals of North Korea do look pretty sweet but we need some time to refill our barracks and sort out our own economic mess first. Don't worry though we've got economic sanctions in place against NK already so they won't be developing much.
Maybe if it recognized just thinking about that sequence, but I think having to deliberately focus on each direction (kind of like pressing a series of buttons in your mind, one after the other) would be too hard to accidentally do like that.
Well technically it is a missing feature in Chrome that we tried to work around to varying degrees of success. The Chrome audio API has no way to change the sample rate and uses whatever the native hardware sample rate is. We didn't have time to finish implementing sample rate conversion in JS (but it is coming) so we cheated a bit by dynamically loading a different file based on some common hardware sample rates. It seems that sometimes Chrome reports the sample rate wrong or something though, and we have seen this issue at least once before and will be looking into it and reporting browser bugs accordingly. Rest assured that this was just a hack, and real sample rate conversion is JS is coming along soon! :)
Interesting, but three years old. The two things of interest to me: the variety of source materials they have to encode from, and the fact that their player (at the time) increases or decreases bitrate on-the-fly depending on bandwidth.

Anyone got a more recent source for what they're doing?

Was using Netbeans and then RubyMine when I first started. Then sat down one day for twenty minutes to try:

$ vimtutor

Never looked back. It's been six months since I started Vim and I realized all I really want to develop Rails is a fast way to switch between files, find files, and arrange files onscreen.

The CommandT plugin for Vim has been absolutely amazing. You just start typing the path of a file and it'll narrow down search results. For instance if you want to get at a controller app/controllers/posts_controller.rb, you can just type any letters along the path. like, i'd type "acposts".
All this is is the author reaffirming his normative value judgments. I could just as easily compare iPad2 unfavorable with my Toshiba netbook...

Price: $230 (with RAM upgrade) vs. $500
Apps: The entire internet and every piece of Windows software vs. 500K apps
Features: A keyboard that lets me type emails and chat with people and type posts on Hacker News vs. a virtual keyboard that's good... relative to other virtual keyboards
Accessories: Doesn't require accessories to protect it vs. Often used with an expensive case
Apps part 2: Excel and Exchange vs. no Excel/Exchange, so that I need another device to respond to work

etc. etc.

That all men are by nature equally free and independent, and have certain inherent rights, of which, when they enter into a state of society, they cannot, by any compact, deprive or divest their posterity; namely, the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety.

Note the absence of "copy" rights.

Joey,

I find your ideas completely at odds with the First and the Fourth Amendments.

In particular, the Fourth Amendment was adopted because under British rule, when the authorities were given the power to seize property and documents without first having to prove probably cause, those authorities abused the system. As predicted 200 years ago, we give UMG the authority to interfere with our business without a warrant, and this is exactly what happens: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3364808

It is a foundation of our nation that only the government can order your property and documents seized and only on sworn testimony or affidavit.

I would prefer to find a way that copyright holders can make money doing what they do, since I am one. But if I have to lose copy "rights" because they cannot be protected without shitting on the Declaration of Independence, or the First and Fourth Amendments, then I'll chose to let it go.

So if you would like to name your organization "The FBI" and require that all actions first acquire sworn testimony before a judge or an affidavit, and that false testimony will result in jail time for perjury, then we might have something to talk about.
