I think there's going to be big money in "the anti-social network" when the backlash comes down.

I am not always sure it is up to the university to help entrepreneurs in a formal way.

However I was impressed when our neighbors to the South (Univ of Mich) created a Masters in Entrepreneurship.

Details are scarce but judging by Steve Blank's enthusiasm it hews closer to Lean Startup than a traditional MBA.

Yet when I posted it in a local forum the consensus was the money for the degree would be better spent for startup capital.
Hey Ian, appreciate the feedback. We highly agree and thats why we're still in Beta. What we're releasing now are the early stages of a much greater plan.

How do you differentiate?
Ask HN - I am looking for a strong Technical Co-Founder
I am looking for another technically strong person to join our team as a co-founder. We just added one of the most in demand graphic designers for luxury products like Chanel, TAG Heuer and Hugo etc. We are looking to add at least one more technical person who loves ideas around the social marketplace and social travel. Email me at jerryrreynolds@gmail.com if interested.
At the iOS road show, Apple showed a video that I fervently wish that they would make available on their developer portal. It was one of the highlights of the day. It was inspiring. They showed video montages of some of the ADA winning apps, showing how they were so polished, so beautiful, such a great user experience. The one with the DJ app was phenomenal. You left with a smile on your face. This was the kickoff. For the rest of the day, you were overwhelmed and enthralled with the quality and depth of the technical content and expertise. They want to help you build the best Apps. And that was before you stepped into the onsite developer labs.

Apple wants you to build beautifully crafted user experiences. Google does too, but that is not their primary focus.
If you wouldn't mind - I'm curious to hear what some of the other talks you've heard at CUSEC were? This one is amazing and I'd love to make it up there some year if the rest are even half the caliber of this.
Has anyone here used MySQL Cluster in production?
For the first time, scientists can control human brain cells using quantum dots
At present that feature is available through the mobile app. I had considered that a value added service and as such you must buy the app. In addition to notifications you can also manage single journeys that you make outside your usual commute.
That's really nice, thank you. All I did was download the file and replaced my existing bootstrap.min.css with it and it works great.
The MacDonalds hot coffee case should rightly be viewed as a textbook example of a frivolous lawsuit, and it baffles me that it has been used to actually argue against tort reform.

The Hot Coffee film was produced by a plaintiffs lawyer, and presents little more than emotional appeals. As a group, plaintiffs lawyers hated the publicity originally given to the MacDonalds suit, so perhaps it makes sense that some of them try so desperately to revise the standard interpretation.
I always opt out. I fly ~6 times a year (so twelve trips through security). Different airports are different. SFO is the worst I have dealt with. I get questioned by that security gate about why I am opting out in an agressive manner.

My real reason of opting out is to slow down the whole operation more than health concerns. Sometimes the pat downs are actually relaxing (like some sort of strange spa treatment). Sometimes they are rough when going up the leg until they meet resistance...but most of the time they are gentle.
Because now Wikipedia editors are required to have the same expertise in each subject as academics who spend their careers in those subjects. I submit that model is clearly not sustainable, and quite different from not expecting them to expend intellectual effort.

Wikipedia is not a place for original research for exactly this reason. Once something has gone through peer review, and is published somewhere, then it can be used in Wikipedia. I think that's reasonable. Wikipedia editors are then relying on a particular subject's community of experts instead of having to be those experts themselves.

I think it's also important to note that this model is the same as any other encyclopedia.
Yeah, it's just to see if a person understands that some basic pointer operations and that regular strings in C are "special" because of their \0 at the end.
I will add that Backupify started in Louisville, KY, and we were funded by First Round while we were still there. We didn't have to move to raise money, but we couldn't find the tech/startup talent we needed. So we looked at NYC, Boston, and the Valley. I talked to lots of people who lived in each place and ultimately, as you would expect, everyone raved about whichever place it was that they lived. Ultimately, I chose Boston because MIT is the most innovative place in the world, and because it is a highly intellectual city and I have a lot of interests outside of just tech startups. I've been very very happy here, and think it's a great place to build a company.

Looks like Wikipedia has been corrected as a result of this article. Well done to the author, and shame on those who try to distort the truth.
Evernote already did that.

This is a nifty UI feature that the Evernote guys can add to their iPhone app, if they want to...
Personally, feature-wise they're best of bread. IntelliJ is the best Java IDE I've ever used, and ReSharper makes Visual Studio brilliant.

That said, they aren't always the fastest, and don't do anything to dispel my hatred of Java UIs.

I used WebStorm to do node.js for a while, but haven't renewed my subscription as it didn't provide me much extra from vim. The jQuery/Web stuff I've done with WebStorm was pretty good though.

To manage the process of accepting contributions at random from anonymous Internet users. Note that Wikipedia doesn't have "editors" in the sense of a newspaper or magazine; every user is an editor.
I feel like there's a massive PR campaign to get us to check out this app, which is seemingly a yet another todo list without any kind of syncing (which automatically means I won't even bother checking it out). Can someone who did buy the app say whether the hype is justified?
Apple Seeks Court Permission to Sue Bankrupt Kodak for Patent Infringement

You can have all of that in Emacs and probably in vim as well.

See ctags/etags, cedet, ropemacs (refactoring Python), xrefactory (refactoring C and C++), wrangler (refactoring Erlang), etc.
This is great! One minor thing I noticed is that on the homepage, the bottom three swatches don't seem to link to individual files properly -- they all download the bootstrap.min.css, regardless of what you choose in the split button.
So I work in C, and navigating the code can be a problem from a terminal. I use cscope, but it wasn't really useful until I started using a cool set of scripts that this consultant had which opened new screen (or tmux, if you modify the scripts) windows for each file I am editing. I'll nag him to post this on github.

I used to find/xargs/grep to find code snippets.

Emailing you details that are different from an external contact is an interesting idea. I'm hoping to extend the interface to allow you to choose your actual stations, so alternate routes are easier to calculate.

Thank you for your time and interest!
MITx, MIT's online education initiative launches its prototype course.
Document Cloud doesn't strike me as a "productivity app", at least not in the same vein as Evernote and Wunderlist (not familiar with Clear or kippt). As far as I know, it doesn't incorporate "to do" functionality at all. It's targeted at journalists and (presumably) provides real value by helping analyze, research and annotate supporting documents.

It is indeed very annoying for experts to contribute to Wikipedia. They probably shouldn't. Instead, they should do what experts do best, and Wikipedia should do what encyclopedias do best: to wit, experts should conduct research to generate new primary sources or write books to generate new secondary sources, and Wikipedia should continue finding secondary sources to summarize.
If you get either of those done, let me know. I will be your first customer
Were people dying at this operation? Or breaking their legs? Or...?
Ah, so instead of having to hand-roll your own really complex regex that would limit the scope every time, VS automatically limits the scope of the renaming for you. That is pretty nice.
Authentication on most of the web is directly connected with an email address.

If you have access to an account's email, then you can have access to the account.

Since most people have their email always open, or at least a click or two away from being open, why not skip the password creation altogether?

Users are presented with an email field and a button saying something like, "Send me a key to login".

An email is sent that contains a direct login link with a temporary token. Login tokens would quickly expire, but cookies could keep the user logged in to the site for extended periods of time.

This would be as secure as any password reset system, without having to go through the hassle of setting and remembering a password. It also prevents users from creating week passwords or using the same password across many sites.
We hung a rotating nerf missile launcher upside down from the ceiling that shoots folks who push broken tests to our staged for deploy branch (we use TeamCity). It's a work in progress and not a perfect system (we pair a lot so there's no guarantee someone is at their desk), but it's fun and gets people's attention.

There does not seem to be a working RSS feed for this website. Apart from a couple of websites like HN that I directly navigate too on a daily basis - If I cant add it into my google reader I will never remember to come back to your website.
Show HN: A web app for creating interactive people plots and family trees
I submitted this earlier today but go no response. So am trying again. Last time, promise.

I am shortly to launch our new product - www.peopleplotr.com (web-based software for creating interactive people plots and family trees). Would love to hear what people think of the product. Bit of background: Used to run a boutique web dev agency (me and my wife and some freelancers). Decided to make the move into a product company in April last year when we launched www.tiki-toki.com (software for creating web-based timelines). PeoplePlotr is our second product.
Buy?

This costs money? (I just checked, and it does.)

Wow, I'd never pay money for a todo app, especially since Evernote is free.
You shouldn't really get upset at CEOs trash-talking their competitors. It's their job. In fact, it's a compliment. Trash talking something means it's registered as a threat. How many of them trash-talked OpenMoko? (Conversely, what did Jobs trash-talk? Kindle and Android mainly)

Ironically enough Gruber is a big fan of taking offense at these entirely predictable comments from CEOs. He's basically trolling himself by taking obvious talking points seriously and trolling his massive readership by continually re-broadcasting these comments that are entirely without merit or interest.
How about "DDE" -- decentralized development environment ?
Well, anecdote doesn't tell you how often this happens, but it is an existence proof. I think I would expect a priori that some TSA agents would be trying to do a good job and some would just be in it to letch on passengers. The question is how prevalent the later is compared to the former, and why the TSA isn't trying to distinguish them themselves.
I've heard a lot of good things about Louisville and enjoyed when I visited. It's a wonderful small city. Old Louisville is quite charming.

I would imagine it would be hard to find a critical mass of tech talent there, however.
No, it's really not. The proper venue for interpretation of little-read primary sources like court transcripts is a book or journal article, not an encyclopedia.
this is awesome, thanks for the contribution!
I was offering a pro account for just SMS messages, but I think that the pro account could also provide the email notifications about delays to your route as well as potentially informing you of alternative routes and other related delays.
Ask HN: What are the best tools to accept different currencies?
I am building an e-commerce site and I want to be able to accept payments from all currencies. What tools allow me easily implement this and convert the currency to US$ on my side?
Dropbox takes something hard and makes it easy.

A to-do list is already easy.
Forced or bullied? It may seem like a small distinction, but it sounds like he backed down after a single threatening phone call, without calling their bluff.

It’s important to note that the film was based on one of Asimov’s short stories, “Reason”, but was not a direct interpretation. It was not titled “I, Robot”, and barring the inclusion of the laws of robotics, was almost wholly original.

If that's the case, then why not remove any Asimovian references, disavow any connection with "I, Robot" and complete the film?

Don't get me wrong, the studio behaved badly and this guy didn't deserve the treatment he received from them, but it sounds like there were perfectly acceptable options available that didn't require shutting down the project completely.
Application error.
Why is it better than Wunderlist?
For autocomplete, I don't know enough about vi or vim, but emacs has it:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1616753/make-emacs-semant...

For refactoring, that's just an advanced text across many files manipulation feature, and emacs certainly can do it, but you might have to work on your .emacs file.

The numerous other things sound like either things you can do in gdb or valgrind, or again just advanced text search/editing.

Now all of this is not elegantly pulled together. You need to create this for yourself, make all these tools work together by developing a development environment for yourself. But once you do, you may be surprised just how elegantly everything works together.
Lots of TechCrunch competitors launching recently, but I do like this one. It's sort of like a simplified Verge for startups. Hopefully they remain objective.
The purpose of passion
Furthermore, a user with low churn is worth much more than a normal user. In the phone industry, telcos pay over $300/head for a new subscriber, who will leave after ~30 months. That means they have to allocate $10/month during your subscription to find your replacement.

It's worth giving an existing customer a $10/month discount by way of a grandfathered plan if it means they'll stay around.
I'm not taking personal offense, I'm just saying
1. It's not perfectly reasonable.
2. It's not rational
3. It is valid, but it is not sound.
It's not an advantageous approach. It is annoying to other coders.
What would be awesome is a way to select all custom colors and build a unique bootstrap swatch right on the site with live preview, like http://bytefluent.com/vivify/ does for VIM color schemes.
Yes I was but I couldn't find it. Thanks for the reference :)
I've opted out a few times. My experience has been pretty much like jchrisa. Just tell them that you are opting out when it's your turn.

They would find someone to pat you down along with another officer to watch the process. Pat down takes less than a minute but wait time for officers to become available can be up to 5-10 minutes.
thats works for some cases but can by no means be described as "works flawless everytime" like the refactoring features of modern IDEs!
> To-Do lists are broken

mine isn't. I have a whiteboard with magnetic white strips that I can reorder. Each strip with it's own task.

"if only I had an amazing to-do list app, then I'd get stuff done". No, you wouldn't. No matter how good the app is, it will never actually do the task for you. That's the part that needs solving, the actual doing part. If you're good at doing, then you'll nuke a to-do list in any format.

Unless you hook my to-do list into something like task-rabbit where a "clean the car" task magically happens after I confirmed a $20 premium at the time of adding the task, then I don't think that changing the way I input and reorder tasks is going to make a difference to be me being lazy.
Worth noting: the Haymarket Riot article on Wikipedia is a designated "Good Article". "GA" is a big deal. It's been on the front page of the site. Among other things, that implies that there are people specifically watching that article; changes to it can reasonably expect more scrutiny.
Sure, but the original article is talking expressly about immersive experiences. A line of people waiting to crawl through a laser-tripwire room is the only economically feasible way to scale what he's talking about, but it's expressly not what he's talking about. That's what I was trying to get at.

You can build it. But it's dubiously economical (or incredibly expensive) unless you start stripping away at the immersion to streamline it.
If you’re using version control for your project, this often includes metadata in the .svn, .git, or .hg directories. This is dealt with easily enough by excluding (grep -v)

Actually, some version control systems allow you to grep managed files specifically. E.g. in Git using git grep, including specific commits, branches, etc. Tim Pope's Fugitive git plugin for vim also does this (:Ggrep), and puts results on the quickfix list.

Buried lede department : "I decided to build a new plug-in that exports Illustrator artwork directly to Objective-C code". There's a new product. While the Opacity app is good, it's a bit neglected. A plug-in for Illustrator would make me and my designer thrilled!
Instead of fighting over the semantics of a single sentence why not instead elaborate on the evidence presented by the prosecution, then later discuss if the semantics of that summary sentence contradict the other information in the same article?
In general, it would depend on the type of notice. The bar is high for process servers because of the extraordinary importance of the news they're delivering. However, many contracts and statutes merely require "written notice." In these situations, the distinction between snail mail and email can matter, but I don't think it would often hinge on one's ability to ignore it. One can just as easily ignore snail mail as email.
Nice to see you found decent customer service. My experience talking with them about educational licenses was a textbook example of how not to land new clients. Very disappointing.
Does anyone know if RubyMine licenses can be transferred? I have a RM license that I won at railsconf that I have used sparingly. It was issued on 5/25/11 so I'm not sure if it qualifies for this upgrade. I'd rather give it away than it not be used. I liked RM, but I'm too tied into vim to switch.
If you accept the proposition that the software is a more reliable inspector than a person, the mapping makes perfect sense.

There is no doubt that software will be more consistent than various humans, but that doesn't say much about whether it is more useful.
Avoid Putting Preprocessor Directives in .c Files
People actually move to new cities in order to found startups?

And when they do, they move to Silicon Valley or the Bay Area, where talent is more expensive than anywhere else on the planet?

WTF?

I live in Boston and dig it, but this sort of article screams "trying too hard." Anyone who even considers the possibility that Boston might not have enough talent for their startup is a crackhead. Basically any place with a university and access to the internet is a good enough place for the right founder to build something of quality.
About 1% is a good estimate. At first glance you might think this is bad, but actually -- the freemium model provides boatloads of word of mouth. Even if only 1% buy - a large % of the other 99% are still satisfied and tell people, which throws more folks in the funnel and leaves the company with a large surplus of goodwill.

We have people routinely write in to us - 'Ive used your product for years and it's worked so great I just want to help contribute' and so they buy a license - just out of gratitude from years of free service and not because they are looking for any of the Premium features.

Regarding the 'cost of free users' - the cost is negligible. It's not like we write different definitions for the premium and the free - they all share the same definitions so there is not duplication of effort. Also, usually security software also acts as a 'data collector' in that it sends back suspicious files back to the lab for analysis. In this respect, having hundreds of thousands or millions of free users makes it easier to write definitions and protect all of our users because they provide us with more samples than we would of otherwise had access too. We actually ship a better product BECAUSE we have such a large # of users (both free and paying users).
Basically, yes. It's very easy to end up herded through unless you're paying attention. Now I watch carefully and see which lines are going through the big scanner and which are going through the smaller metal detector. Most of the time, I can just get in the metal detector line, no muss no fuss.

However, when it is unavoidable (happens at smaller airports when there are fewer lines in my experience), I just stop in front of it and say in my most polite sweet little thing voice "no thank you" or "I don't want to go through the radiation scanner" when I'm told go through it. I've had people try and tell me it's safe and (gently?) badger me into doing it (at which point sometimes I try and offer a reason, but mostly I just say "I don't care"), but every time I've been on my toes enough to refuse, I've gotten the patdown instead. The TSA folks have sometimes gotten kinda freaked out/uptight or antsy, but it generally blows over pretty quickly and 80% of the time doesn't take much longer than the regular screening. The rest of the time, it takes them 15 minutes to find another lady agent to do the patdown, so I always start through security a little sooner if I can't see separate lines for a metal detector-only screening.

I also refuse to go to the 'private' screening area. If they're going to grope me, I'd rather it be in public in full view of everyone else.
I monitor ports, web pages, cpu load, disk space and memory.
