The scary part about Groupon's explosive growth is the difficulty of employing 150 people/day without lowering required employee competence.

In the long run I think that the smaller, competing companies with more competent employees are going to win the market on a city by city basis.
The Importance Of Setting Goals
It's the many great leaders that end up transforming lives and countries, and so the tragedy of overcompensation in the finance industry is how it has attracted-away the world's smartest and most charismatic. Now these elite college grads hang out with each other instead of mentoring, inspiring, and setting an example for others. Instead of leading teams to accomplish great things, they are figuring out how best to fool the next guy.

Large-scale prosperity is far more likely when more America's smartest and most charismatic are leading instead of wheeling-and-dealing. Decline was inevitable as soon as high-finance ceased being the province of the boring and bookish.
[EDIT: I may have misinterpreted the parent post as criticizing finance. I'd delete my comment but I'm leaving part of it here because it has already been replied to.]

What we have here is a worthless parasite class -- a decadent nobility -- that has buried itself into our civilization like a tick

The fact of the matter is you will have a very hard time finding a financial person who defends the current state of things. I never have. Nobody considers bailouts or too-big-to-fail optimal, and nobody likes the regulatory mud the financial industry swims in. And the financial industry, and probably my paycheck, would be smaller if none of this stuff existed. And I wouldn't mind because it'd be made up for by living in a more productive nation.

Of course, you'll still see mega-rich financiers because the economies of scale are unbeatable in this industry. And calling the financial system "con artistry vs everyone else on the planet" is a worthless thing to say because trading, investing, credit, and risk management add value and to say otherwise puts you in a very flimsy position, a position by which you'd have to adopt a wildly heterodox economic view--such as classical Marxism--to reasonably defend yourself.

"This typing automatically is for the birds." -Mr. Pink
Our approach was:
1. Sketch mockups on paper, iterate until happy.
2. Sketch mockups in Photoshop, iterate until happy with every little detail.
3. Send photoshop mockups for slicing - get back HTML/CSS/JS
4. Convert static HTML files to static templates. In our case, it was Django templates. At this stage, we used dummy data so now the site would be served through django, exactly match the Photoshop images and the sliced HTML, data populated through views. That is, the static data is now hardcoded in the code rather than in the HTML.
5. Incrementally replace each view to serve data from DB instead of hardcoded. Data can be added to DB in Django using an interactive shell or using the admin interface. At this stage, we had our models flushed out and relationships between objects cleared up.
6. Add additional functionality such as forms and whatnot to actually accept input through the app.
7. Ajaxify everything to turn the website into a web app.

We didn't use any fancy tools beyond what's mentioned above.

Uber could add a whole range of services to their app.
Pretty much did the same thing myself (stopped feeling good about commenting on anything). Her drive and humble demeanor were evident from the interviews she gave. Her death is a loss.
This probably one of Andrew's best interviews. In my recollection- every piece of press or articles written about him/groupon have been focused on the negative fact driven parts that defines groupon.

I did see glimmer of hope that he is a passionate ceo focused on making his dream of his business become a profitable reality. Right now it is leaning that his dream isn't sustainable but you never know.

I thought for a moment that the essay was about how to find startup ideas: solving your own schleps. Solve those things which everyone assumes are an annoying part of life/business.

The things I do that I find the most tiresome: commute by car, dishes, laundry, and flossing.

I find it funny that the solution to the first three if you have money are:
1. Hire a human driver (or move). 2. Hire a human maid. 3. Hire a human maid.

But all might be solved by technology: robot drivers, robot butler, robot butler, and "vaccines" against tooth decay and halitosis.

If I dug into the less important schleps, I bet I'd find that software is a solution.
Seriously, SOMEONE needs to perform this analysis.

A Million Pageviews, Thousands of Dollars Poorer, and Still Countlessly Richer
Isnt that what reddit and HN are. metas of info available to see if we want to click the bait.

The number of sites I visit directly over the years has diminished to 4 since reddit, HN and two others.

the issue to be solved for other sites to grow is not that they can summarize, but how well they curate a community around the results.
In some markets WalMart is losing market share or decreased revenue growth because it has priced itself above what the 'lower class' can afford. This is largely why dollar (or less) stores have done so well in recent years in North America.
Unfortunately not. I don't think this is actually possible as I don't think you can have a subfolder of a site hosted elsewhere (not in a 'performant' manner at least).

The only solution that I know of is to host it all on the one box which makes it trick if you want to use Heroku to host your app.

I am currently wrestling with this problem as I want to host a new app on Heroku, but have the marketing side of the site powered by wordpress to take advantage of things like third party themes. The app will also generate linkable content, so it is important to me to have it on the same domain, but there seems to be no way to achieve what I want to do with heroku :-(

So annoying!
As a rule, anytime something like this happens, you should change your password (and any other place you use the same password or a variation of it). That being said, we are bursting the emails (as I believe Dylan commented already). Spam filters being what they are, it's possible it may be in there, so I would suggest you change your password.
Does it seem to offer functionality proportional to the cost spent learning the system?
I often play "defender" of the finance industry among my friends, but I think we should separate two claims:

1) finance, as a whole, is "bad" for whatever reason
2) separate from (1) the people and companies involved in finance are "bad"

These are two entirely different claims. It's totally possible to believe that the finance industry provides valuable capital allocation and risk management services, but to also believe that the companies running these services have become corrupt (and that said corruption happens at the expense of the "99%").

I don't think one can reasonably blame the population at large for suspecting something fishy. Between bailouts of "clearing house counterparties" like AIG/Fannie/Freddie, below-inflation Fed Funds rate to which finance elites have exclusive access, a revolving door of GS alumni at Treasury, etc., one could easily be forgiven for suspecting systematic corruption. The only way to overcome this predisposition is an open commitment to transparency and "taking your lumps when you deserve them", which, in my opinion, has not been demonstrated by the finance community vis-a-vis the taxpayer.
The proper SOPA blackout
I think it is silly for reddit, google, FB etc to go dark on the 18th to protest SOPA.

Instead, they should all block any and all sites, supporters and supporting media of SOPA.

Drop all traffic from CNN, EA, Sony etc.. that support SOPA.

Why drop valid inet traffic when you can show all the idiots who support SOPA where their traffic really comes from. Plus it should be a week not a day.

I run a news site on Tumblr and I can tell you my downtime problems are nowhere near as bad as this site suggests they are. In the past three months I can remember only one major bout of downtime, and I'm on the site most of the day every day.

And in the case that downtime is as bad as it seems, I suggest you guys use CloudFlare, which will at least keep a cached version of your site online even during downtime issues.

Tumblr is way more about community than mission-critical uptime. If you treat it like mission-critical uptime, you're going to be disappointed. If you're trying to reach an audience for your application — which, honestly, should be more important with a staff blog — Tumblr is a great bet.

I was really shocked, I went out and looked at my car multiple times because I thought I must be imagining it. I have no idea if they did it intentionally as a marketing ploy, or if it was like eps's Ferrari comment and someone thought it would be funny to book them to wash my car.

If my car was new and I was still babying it, yeah I might be pissed at first. But the job they did was better than most of the $30-$40 washes I've had, like they actually did a good job cleaning the wheels. And my car was filthy, ever since I moved to SF I stopped washing my car regularly (too much of a hassle and I only drive it once every 2 weeks anyway).

As many pointed out the last time this was on HN, it's pretty misleading to consider anyone who sells their company to have made their money via "direct or indirect participation in the financial and banking industries." Disqualifyingly misleading, frankly.
IANAL. But I've been told that an abstract color scheme like this isn't covered by IP laws, while a color scheme in a specific context may be considered part of a trademark or trade dress. In either case it would not be covered by copyright, as that license implies.

Someone who knows more about this should jump in and elaborate.
Absolutely. The biggest risk is the shared password part. It is surprising people still do it.

I am surprised that some of the big eCommerce companies still mail back the password in clear text. Just plain stupid.
The email did not mention order history. Do you know if our personal order history was among the items compromised?
I'm not even sure 3way switch is the best solution. My point is: solve it.

60 Minutes pretty much follows the same template for every story they do. If you watch it enough, they'll eventually cover something you know about, and reveal their total lack of understanding. They just slavishly go through the motions, hitting all the same notes every week.
I like it. A few suggestions though:

1) Warn people that they will need to login to Twitter to use the service. If my timeline is public, why do I need to provide my twitter credentials? Shouldn't my username be enough

2) Don't load so many stories at once. Maybe 20 or 30 at a time or for the last week, etc...

Anyway, thoughts in the first 30 seconds of use.

Good luck and keep us posted,

For those complaining about this being a puff piece about groupon... understand that a media company has little to no incentive to take companies like groupon to task. Sure they may ask one or two mildly tough questions that may address some issues that people have with the company, but if they truly hit hard they would go out of business. No one wants to do an interview where they will be sweating the entire time, and journalists who gain a tough reputation will soon be circling the classifieds. This explains why someone like Larry King can be extremely successful, yet there aren't any hard hitting interviewers out there.
ala Living Social ;)
Hi Anirudh,
Your idea sounds interesting however I cancelled when the Twitter auth screen requested more permission than I'm willing to give this service.

This application will be able to:
Read Tweets from your timeline.
See who you follow, and follow new people.
Update your profile.
Post Tweets for you.

It seems unnecessary to update my profile or post tweets for me. I don't even see why it would need to see who I follow and follow new people. Maybe it's my ignorance of the Twitter API but isn't that something you can restrict on your end?

Most likely this is just an oversight since its your new project you threw together but the HN community is generally pretty cautious about privacy and security.

As far as the landing page, I would definitely suggest a couple of screenshots to convince me why I would want to try out the service and give authorization to the app. It is pretty vague what it does and I still don't know why I would want to see my twitter stream in some unique way.

Good luck and happy coding.
Quite normal.
A perfect example of the schlepp mentioned in pg's essay. Lots of grindy, sloggy details that most startups don't want to have to deal with.
Article does claim much of the highest tier's wealth comes from investment as opposed to income. The products in which they invest have to come from financial services, including Cynicalkane's employer.
> +1 for not storing clear text passwords.

That shouldn't need a +1.
Thanks a lot for your comment. I have been trying to tweak the number of stories. I think you are right. Will limit number of stories and offer some form of Pagination.

Sign in using Twitter is needed, as even if your timeline is public I need to read Tweets from people you follow and not just tweets you have posted to your timeline. Hope that clarifies..

I will add the Login with Twitter prompt too... Thanks a tonne..

Make the Process of Relocating Easy
I've found NoScript tends to improve the UX on most sites I visit. No popups, much reduced spinning click me ads, just generally more pleasant. Some stuff doesn't work, but I whitelist clean sites like HN and I'm usually happier without the JS on a lot of sites.
The places near me are $17 and $18 for the basic wash package (hand wash & dry + vacuum + dust + tire shine). Interior dressings will bring it up to about your price, and opting for a wax will probably make it ~$45-50.

The shortest time it's taken is about 15 minutes, and the most is about 45 minutes for the wash + wax, but I try to avoid peak times.

I would do it myself but my apartment complex is rather strict on car stuff.

I wonder if the increase in inequality is scale invariant, or if you end up seeing some kind of kink at some point in it.
I agree with the attitude of this post, but I'm puzzled that you criticize the Fed Funds rate as below inflation. This is how you create an expansionary monetary policy which is the correct response to a credit-collapse recession. This enriches commerical banks, but all monetary policy is distortionary.

A good alternative might be helicopter money. I wonder how well that would do, politically.

Actually it's even more helpful than that: the lightest color indicates a less than one percent chance of entering the one percent, which means that that job does "worse than chance

Thanks for your comment. I guess I need to alter the permission settings but I would need the Posting permissions, in case I want to enable twitter sharing from my app itself.

I can't delete or edit my (now downvoted) parent comment, but the reason it exists is that GP originally said something like "preaching to a crowd" instead of "preaching to the the choir."
i dont have any technical evidence to back this up but i feel like .ru domains tend to be pretty resilient to US take downs. i've seen so many blatantly illegal websites and/or hacking scripts hosted on .ru domains that seem to never go away. granted, i'm sure they also trigger spam filters like crazy.

.nz i could see catching on. there's got to be a much more 'friendly' TLD though. nz doesn't feel as generic as com/biz/net/org

Online Shoppers Are Rooting for the Little Guy - Not Amazon
Well they said that their database was compromised and they were not sure what was accessed.

So I stopped using them after that incident.

It was a while ago I don't remember the particulars, but I do remember they said they were not sure if someone stole everyones password so everyone should change their master password to be safe. So I deleted my account to be safer.
Or that they're not using reversible encryption.
Sorry, I didn't mean to align myself with specific monetary policy. I barely know anything about it. The only point is that I personally can't call up Bernanke for a Fed Funds loan, so the expansion of the money happens asymmetrically across society (in particular, preferentially for the Federal Reserve member banks).

I regret mentioning it. I don't want this to become a Federal Reserve or monetary policy debate. My bad. Go in peace :-)

I have heard a few interviews of her when she was 11. In her native language URDU. AND I must tell you that she is the most Wisest girl of her age that I have ever known. She is wiser than most 25 year olds. And her personality was truely fun and energizing.
I agree with you; lunatik is related to the other work in that they're both on NetBSD, and I think Marc Balmer is driving the userspace work, and at least familiar w/ the kernel-space work, so there's cross-pollination of talent.

Honestly, I think I would rather see the userspace work out of core (ie: not shipping w/ NetBSD) and just put into pkgsrc (NetBSD version of Ports, or dpkg, etc) as a NetBSD-only package.

The kernel work -- I'm just not familiar with deep kernel hacking, so perhaps it's my ignorance, but an interp in-kernel doesn't sound attractive to me. I think I'd rather see kernel access pushed to userspace, like FUSE/PUFFS[1] does for filesystems, or even how procfs allows reading/writing kernel from userspace. Jamming more into the kernel, especially an interpretter makes me shake my head. It could be fun as a personal project, or a Clever Hack, but for a shipping production-ready system... reminds me of when RedHat introduced it's in-kernel http server[2].

All that said -- NetBSD is _still_ the most attractive Unix I'm aware of. I occasionally consider a Linux or FreeBSD, but haven't left yet, since NetBSD 1.6 (c. 2002)
