Isn't this a case of the small app developers not iterating quickly enough? If you look at the side by side screen shots the Zynga graphics DO look significantly better than the original game. Isn't the lesson here that if you do somehow manage to make a hit game you better reinvest as much as you can as quickly as you can back into future versions of the game to keep it as fresh and good looking as possible?

How many updates has angry birds made since their first release? They're always releasing new levels and updates.

I'm not defending what Zynga does in any way, but success brings copycats and first to market does not guarantee dominance of that market by any means.

Something that I took away from this (awesome blog post) is perhaps not directly related: don't spend too much time worrying about competitors. Build your thing. Just. Build. It.

If you have innovated and not imitated you will have something that no one else has. It's really that simple. You could sit and fret about how easily Google could destroy you, you could worry about the fact that maybe Facebook offers a similar app/service/whathaveyou… None of that matters. Build your thing.

True originality always wins out in the end.

The site is not accessible through .tv domain, but .com domain is working and redirects to http://www.firstrow.tv/

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.tv the .tv TLD is administered by Verisign.

EDIT:
strangely enough, www.firstrowsports.tv is still working (I'm connecting from Europe, so there might be caching involved), but firstrowsports.tv redirects to the ICE notice.

I hate to be "that guy", but for someones sake, fix the site on ipads. Not only it tells you you're using an incompatibble browser (a blast from IE past), then it swirtches to iPad specific (????) non-zoomable fixed layout, which makes it pain to read.

Mark Zuckerberg Loves It When A Plan Comes Together
I have a very heavy handed approach to testing because I fuck up the details a lot. Testing keeps me from doing so by actively forcing me to look at the details. I make up for time "lost" writing tests by A) writing code just plain faster than my peers and B) in the time I save on regressions later.

I think every person and team is different so no one model or ethos to testing will fit generically. Pinterest is doing well enough. If they don't need to automate, so be it. When they bring on some more engineers, the dynamic will change so maybe they'll need more automation then.

Me either, exact same setup. This happened to me on http://keepvid.com as well; that site runs on a java plugin as well.

I'm happy that it isn't just me (I was actually scanning the comments to see if anyone ran into this problem), but I really would like a solution to this. If anyone finds one, let me know!
To the author, would you consider making the fonts on your site maybe 2-3x bigger? 12px is really hard to read against a solid white background. Plus visually, I think it makes your site look better at a bigger size.
is there any mileage in having a site that gathers together these sorts of links?

There's really no need for one. These things are pretty much interchangeable and a constant stream of new ones are being created.

This is the reason that the "funny" parts of Reddit should ban reposts. There is no loss in missing some piece of mildly interesting material, but there is a loss in seeing the same piece multiple times.
If you move most of the application client side, you could use something like jsdom to test it. That's obviously not going to get you the same level of confidence that a full stack test in a real browser would though. Maybe a combination of the two?

I think there is definitely a problem with the realism that Hacker News unknowingly perpetuates. I would imagine people who read Hacker News are less likely to start companies because they are exposed to extremely intelligent people's comments on all things technological on a daily basis.

I think people forget that there are a lot of other characteristics besides intelligence necessary for successful Entrepreneurship

Sorry but I don't really care for all of these changes. They are just small UI additions which can be totally subjective. Plus, let's not forget, you could easily implement all the things you mentioned through browser add-ons, personalizing your own experience.

I'm a little more worried about the comment-karma being removed, which makes it harder for me to reach the best comments.
Here's what I would improve on HN: comments formatting.

Writing and reading long comment is absolutely painful and a sprinkle of markdown/GFM (beyond the current trivial em and code block supports) would make it significantly better.

Also comment preview/review, since the site is very often bloody slow when trying to edit a comment, and the writing area is 1. too small to review long text and 2. not a good way to see if the comment's rendered layout is correct.

edit: and the current state is probably worse than nothing at all, as inline asterisks are rendered as <em> when they're multiplication signs or links to footnote, so you've got shitty formatting and broken comments.
One possible contributor is Amazon Web Services. The revenue from AWS is currently hidden under 'other' in the company's earnings reports, but analysts believe it comprises most of that category, which totaled over $500M this quarter, a 58% increase over Q4 last year. That means AWS was close to a billion dollar business in 2011 and will certainly surpass that in 2012. Besides being an even faster-growing market than online retail, it's likely that the AWS margins are higher than retail as well.
I'd love it if there was a way to view or highlight new comments in a thread. Quite often, I'll read an interesting thread that's got 120 comments, come back a few hours later and see the same thread with 180 comments--but I have no way of knowing which are new without trawling through the whole thing again.
In what context have you heard Indians use it?
Sure--I don't disagree with you. I'm not suggesting that people shouldn't engage in civil disobedience, in fact, I personally think that people should engage in civil disobedience as often as they feel morally compelled to.

In my last statement (and setting aside the word "just"), I was putting forward the legal positivist (i.e. HLA Hart) viewpoint that laws are valid by virtue of being law (without getting into what "law" is and so on). Accepting that copyright law is therefore a valid law on this level, I don't find its enforcement invalid. This is separate from whether I find the law sensible, or morally reprehensible, or whatever--and, depending on my views on that issue, I might want to disobey it and be justified in doing so. But, even if I think the law is completely insane, that's not saying that I would think of it as some artificial concept that I might completely ignore and then be shocked at being prosecuting for violating it, as a I read a previous post to suggest. By rebelling against it I am tacitly acknowledging that the law is what it is, and I should be prepared to accept the punishments.

Apologies if I am being opaque, it's obviously a minor point that has no real bearing on how people actually act.

I've never actually implemented it and it seems there are some strange requirements (officialy FMS with some module only I believe,) but it would resolve the trust issue for a lot of people.

Perhaps you could try and consider adding it as a fallback or fall-forward (if that's a real word ;).

Why would they want to charge $10/month for their full libraries when the average blockbuster DVD/Blu-Ray release sells 1-2 million units a month from each individual movie?

Why would they want to charge $10/month for their full libraries instead of getting a couple million from Starz, a couple million from HBO, a couple million from Showtime, etc just to license a couple movies at a time for their networks?

Why would they want to charge $10/month for their full libraries when they get millions to sell a couple new releases at a time to cable operators for On Demand rentals?

Simply licensing everything for internet streaming for a couple bucks a month solves the piracy problem, but it also completely destroys their profits. They make far more money with the current system of physical discs, staggered format releases and exclusive licensing deals for different segments of their library with different distributors than they would make giving it all away for pennies per movie on a streaming service.

What did Netflix take in last quarter in revenues? $800 million or so? That's just 4 times the DVD revenue from Avatar. One movie.

Here is a bunch of cosmetic changes:

1) Include the second level domain on link preview next to title (e.g. plus.google.com)

2) Include some sort of graphics that link a comment response to original comment. It's very difficult to follow a conversation with a lot of comments. The Slashdot vertical lines are an elegant example.

3) Use CSS media queries. I find HN very difficult to navigate using embedded devices. The font, the vote arrow and the margins aree too small.

What is sad is that developers who make Android/iOS/Flash/Whatever games see how Zynga is making money and is copying other people's games, and they start to justify this and eventually start doing it too.
The juxtaposition between hardware being the loss-leader over software, and vice versa, is interesting. The article states that "clearly one model is working and one isn't". I'm not sure if this is really the case. For example, in the games console business, the devices were loss-leaders for a long time, but at least Microsoft is now doing more than OK with its Xbox business - granted it took a while to get there. So, over time, loss-leader hardware isn't necessarily a bad strategy.
Words like lakh and crore derive from Sanskrit - hence these words are prevalent not only in India but also in other countries in the south-east Asia like Bangladesh, Pakistan and Nepal.

Western units are used wherever applicable - i.e. to denote 1,000 the word "thousand" is used and not "hazaar". Unfortunately, western units are deficient in that there are no units to denote a hundred thousands (lakh - 100,000) or ten millions (crore = 10,000,000). Likewise, there are no western units for 10,000 - so you have to use the Japanese word 'maan'.

Actually, yes.

I can see why this looks like I'm complaining but I'm not.

It just seems estrange how companies avoid making it easy for people to contact them.

I could be trying to apply for a job (and turn out to be a valuable asset for their company) or wanting to buy something... only that in this case I'm selling.

My point is, that we as entrepreneurs should be letting the doors open instead of closing them.

Isn't Myspace the first mover here?
The thing here is that if they can claim good faith and it is a protection for them, then the whole setup is meaningless - they could always claim "we thought it's a good idea" even if shareholders think it's a terrible one. Public good is a matter of opinion, and anybody can claim any opinion.

If, however, this provision is not toothless and useless, then I don't see how it can not create additional potential liability. Of course, it can play both ways - i.e. the management can both claim public good as defense for controversial actions and be attacked on public good grounds for them. It's just an additional complication, compounded by absence of any clarity on the question of what the said good is.

It is telling that your document does not give a clear answer to the question of additional liability, basically saying "we're reducing liability, no, wait, we're increasing it and it's a good thing!".
