Joining a startup a business guy
Interesting stance you have. Based on your romanticized description:

"The truly free exchange of ideas, thoughts, and opinion."

and what you admit the actuality was:

"I was... one of the aforementioned persons who were... starting flame wars about trivial topics..."

you come to the conclusion that if people don't want to hear/read your flame war, they must not want any communication.

"Soon some of us soon found that we didn't actually want to hear any of it."
Each process gets it's own namespace in plan9.
That's not what they said though. They said they don't comment on petitions that are matters of law enforcement. They may very well have done that.

Although, yes, one would think that it'd be in their best interest to communicate that if they had in fact done so.

There are different levels of corruption, mind.

On the one hand, there is movie-villain corruption. I pay bribes directly to politicians and law enforcement personnel, then I give them orders, which they follow regardless of the law.

On the other hand, there is a much more common type of corruption through affinity. I run a very lucrative and well-thought-of business in a key industry. I pay lobbyists to obtain access to politicians. Politicians develop an affinity for my interests because they have more exposure to my point of view through lobbying and that is magnified by the positive public perception of my company. Then, when my interests and other people's interests collide politicians (and law enforcement as well, due to similar phenomena) will naturally take my side because they have come to associate my interests with their and society's interests. This extends up to bending the law.

And, of course, there are degrees in between. I not only have fostered an affinity between politicians and my business, I give campaign donations, my lobbyists take you to really fancy meals, I gave a lucrative job to your brother in law, etc.
Seems very similar to the site where freelancers post about clients that don't pay. That one sat at the top for a long time. Just a different set of actors here.
They have, but their plans are to stop hosting even .torrent files. They don't actually even run a tracker anymore.

Mr Calacanis problem is that bullies are always sore losers..

And If JC doesn't like that label than JC suck up and find a better label to emulate!
Thom, I appreciate your opinion and thanks for your contribution.

Let me clarify the confusion: Auston published an infographic/ad that favorably represented his conference versus some of the competition (including Calicanis' Launch). Calicanis was contacted via email to correct the issue which was ignored. He then contacts TNW's parent company to mute the "unfavorable" ad. Auston describes his perception of the problem.

It just so happens that Calicanis is a prominent figure of the hacker community, hence the potential interest to HN. Two emails were sent to him which were ignored. Do you really think a phone call is going to be additionally productive?
I think its fair to say that Asa wasn't reflecting the view of the wider Mozilla community correctly when he made that statement.

Making comments requires thought. Finding interesting content is time consuming. But arbitraging Reddit content, that's trivial.
In terms of commercial experience (i.e. stuff I've been paid for) I've been working for about 5-6 years now.

Most of the commercial stuff that I worked on was private/backend stuff which can't be shown without permissions and passwords, sadly. That is one of the reasons why I built MICO - so I could show off my work.

MICO is one of (and the smallest of) four major applications that I built with ExtJS (http://www.sencha.com/) as a front-end/interface

I'm not saying the infographic is authoritative or not, but I don't think you have any evidence to support your statement either.
The fact that it's a whole book makes me nervous.

A strategy which requires a whole book to be explained sounds like giving up on anything simple and claiming we can go through 1001 non-radical steps to eventually get to a happy place.

This to me is a form of denial. You realize simple solutions can not be practically implemented and you convince yourself a marathon of tiny changes is the way to go.

(Disclaimer: I have not read that book.)
I don't believe that just anybody can post something that gets filed under the jobs tab. I think that's limited to YC associates, and I don't think that's likely to change (although pg could certainly change his mind).

Honestly, there's nothing stopping you from posting a job posting yourself as a normal submission, but I'm not sure that's best for the board. There's already a lot of noise on the board, and I'm not sure additional job posts are going to help that problem.

There's a "Who's Hiring?" post that happens on the first of every month, and that's probably your best bet.
Is Chrome Frame an option?
On a related note, one of the technical details about the Mac App Store that I find interesting is the fact that once an application is downloaded to your machine, there's nothing Apple can do to revoke that copy. It sounds like steam manages the licenses of your games for you, whereas the Mac App Store bundles the receipt into each copy of the application that you download. Apple could in theory deny you access to future updates of an app, and you wouldn't be able to use that app bundle on a different machine, but they can't deny you access to an app once its been downloaded.

My understanding is that IE has a significant market share among users with accessibiliy needs (came up in conversation after the recent jquery 2.0 browser support discussion). While that may not be important for 37 signals it's an oft overlooked side effect of dropping version 8 support.
My understanding is that they are non-existent, and people are still arguing over the design and implementation details.

But if you've got the skills, you can help. You know what it's supposed to do. Chances are, whoever stops bickering and builds one first wins. I'm going to see if I can get my local hackerspace to help me experiment and build at least some sort of prototype.
REST is a scam.

For most people, REST is simply the negation of SOAP. They should really use some term like POX (Plain Old XML) or POJ (Plain Old JSON) for simple RPC protocols implemented over http.

If I still was interested in being a maintenance programmer, I could make a pretty good living fixing broken systems based on people who drank Fielding's Kool Aid.

For instance, I once saw a Silverlight app that took 20 minutes to initialize because it traversed a tree of relationships using REST. It started out O.K. but as the app grew more complicated it took tens of thousands of requests and an incredible amount of latency.

I reorganized it so that it got all this information in one POX call that took 2 seconds. A bad architecture slowed the application down by a factor of 600 and made the difference between something that would have worked and something that failed.

People who are building toy applications can blubber about "the decoupling of the client from the server" but the #1 delusion in distributed systems is that you can compose distributed operations the same way you compose function calls in a normal program.

The issue is that the latency involved in a distributed call is about 100 million times more than that involve in a function call, and the failure rate is more than 10 trillion times more. All of the great distributed algorithms such as Jacobsen's heuristic for TCP and Bittorrent have holistic properties possesed by the system as a whole that are responsible for their success.

Hypothetically you could deal with the reliability problems of REST applications by using distributed transactions, but so far as performance and latency goes, this is like putting out a fire with gasoline.

Security is another problem with REST. Security rules are usually about state transitions, not about states. To ensure that security (and integrity) constraints are met, REST applications need to contain error prone code that compares the before and after states to check if the transition is legal. This is in contrast to POX/RPC applications in which it is straightforward to analyse the security impacts of individual RPC calls.

Conflict Diamonds == Suicide Technology
Down voting is not going to help, have you heard his any speech in last year? in most of his speeches he has talked about distribution of wealth.

What motivation does the smart people have if that happens? Entrepreneurs work hard and give up their social and personal lives to become successful and at the end of it if distribution of wealth happens who would want to do that?

So my comment was not just a remark but is a fact and he talks about wealth distribution any chance he gets.
I think it makes sense because someone can start an operation with few clients and limit infrastructure costs. As the number of clients grows, you can improve your infrastructure. By the time you get to thousands of customers, you can switch to bare-metal servers and dramatically improve your bottom line.

In other words, you don't need a big machine, expensive colocation, upfront bandwidth costs, just to serve two clients.
I'm not saying it is a nice API, or that it is in any way a REST API. Just that unless I am missing something, it is HTTP compliant.
At the moment, it'll show the correct background color, but won't show the gradient. That is, if you slide the "puffiness" slider all the way to the left, that's what the buttons will look like on IE. I'm hoping to get that IE filter in there this afternoon. Will update here once it's deployed.

But, in short: It'll still work on IE, even now.

Lovely, but I'm going to be churlish. Couldn't you write this in a more "less.js" style?
My experience with using anything Reuters or Bloomberg is that you do not want their code anywhere near a critical system. It's poorly designed, poorly documented, low on features, hard to integrate, and incredibly expensive. Moving data from one place to another is a solved problem. But not if you are using RMDS. Then it's just a problem.
Rick, I understand that you're upset. But shouldn't you be more upset with the Swedish government than with the US government? Who caved? The Swedes!

Countries have pressured other sovereign powers before, and the US is just following in the global-political norm. The fact that pressuring a foreign power is done should not upset you as much as the fact that the Swedish government caved to it.

Expecting the US government/embassy not to pressure a foreign power over something that it perceives as being illegal, and if not illegal then something exceedingly close, is illogical. Politics is looking out for one's own interest. And it is in the interest of the US government to push prosecution of foreign pirates, whether they are digital or Somali, so that a "US industry" can thrive.

I personally hate Hollywood and watch less than 10 movies a year (most of them are older and gotten from the library). However, I can't disagree with my government in that the founders of TPB got what they justly deserved.

Globalization of corporations and corporate interest profits the corporations, not the citizens. Not ever.
I suppose development time does depend on the app. It is possible to spend a few hours building an app and make a lot of money from it though but this is probably the exception not the rule.

I've always found marketing iOS apps to be very simple. You get marketing in the App Store new releases section, and then I push hard for downloads on social media. You only need to market hard until you get into the top 25 or so and then the App Store does it for you. This is what I have found anyway.
Nice. One suggestion: add color presets. I know there are others who have commented on cookie cutter designs, but for those of us without innate design skills and a budget to hire a designer for each button we want, preset color schemes are a godsend.

I addressed why what gets in logs doesn't matter: if their server is compromised you have to assume you are boned anyways. And I don't understand why is your comment would be talking about "HTTP-GET"? The API in question is dealing with HTTPS for both GET and POST requests.

You're missing the point that TPB is a global thing. Sure, what they're doing is illegal in America, and an American would be in big trouble and the site would have been shut down long ago. That's great. Good for America.

TPB represents the rest of the world standing up and saying "You know what America, stop coming over to our countries and telling us what to do. We're sick of it."

Before TPB, every foreign site would give up and co-operate at the tiniest threat from the American legal system and law enforcement. For years TPB was the only site/group with the guts to stand up and say "no thanks" when threatened.

For those of us outside America, that really means something.

I honestly think sites like wikileaks, etc. would not exist without the guts and determination shown by TPB
The thing is, enterprise users have been begging Mozilla for official MSI support for years now.

The fact that they still haven't done anything about it, even with a supposed enterprise version kind of indicates that they're still not taking the enterprise seriously.
I don't know if it would and of course you are right that he is prominent. Think I just somehow is sadned by the personal nature.

I think most people are well aware of JC's at times dubious nature. I just don't think it's really important for me. But sure if you feel it's important I certainly won't deny you the right.

It just feels so below a person like you.
This really pisses me off. While I have never played a single Zynga game (I dont have a facebook account) their business practices are so disgusting, and the fact that they are so loved by VC money - jsut makes it worse.

What a horrible role model for a company and a CEO.

These stories - plus how Pincus treats employees and his business just keep coming and Zynga is a company I have absolutely no respect for. I couldn't care less about what they do, or what they are worth.

Theoretically if done correctly then your REST service can be accessed by generic REST clients that don't know about your particular service.

Though generic client isn't going to know really what to do with your service. Aside from performing basic CRUD operations, a generic client would have no understanding if what any of it actually means. But, for example you can use code libraries that are designed to work with REST services in your client and not have to write as much boring "plumbing" code.
That's really how it should work. Once downloaded it's yours.

When my credit card expired last year I could not download any apps I had purchased from Apple until I updated it/paid for the ones in my most recent statement. They did not however DELETE/DISABLE the apps on my computer even the ones I still technically owed them money for.

I think Apple has the right idea in how digital downloads should work.

REST is an anti-anti-pattern where the anti-pattern is WS-* and SOAP. If there had never been SOAP, I strongly doubt there would have been a strongly opinionated REST movement.

"Little-r REST" is very little on it's own. It's mostly just common sense as settled by about a decade of trial-and-error. I remember dabbling in PHP-RPC about 10 years ago, and most of the takeaways aren't lightyears from what REST is today.
This is great. Thanks.
That's a political struggle. Not just for browser but any area: control.
I don't buy this argument. About half of it is that Microsoft will be able to leverage it's dominant desktop market share, but if that were the case why have all previous MS phones and tablets failed. This isn't like it's Microsoft's first foray into another form factor and the article has nothing about that.

Considering Microsoft has pretty clearly failed every previous time in the last decade, the real question should be "what's new in Windows 8 that will change this" and the article has nothing on that. If the article's argument were valid, Windows on tablets and Windows on Phone would already be a dominant force.

The article reads like Windows 8 on tablet is Microsoft's first attempt into this market, not just their latest.
