This is true but I think the idea and functionality are great. So maybe with a little cleanup I think it could be one of the better/more useful bootstrap oriented sites that I've been seeing on here lately. At least from a developer's perspective.
Hell, it's the 21st century now, I'll use Google:

Somehow I don't think that helps. Are you happy now?

You shouldn't need a marketing guru to know about the basics of positioning and branding. Facebook is trying to be everything to everybody. They're not going to succeed - not because they're not good at this or that, but because you just CAN'T be the best at everything in the mind of your customers. Like shingen said, people aren't going to want their car oil changed at McDonald's - not if they have a choice.

Line extension is a tricky business. The good news is: this opens up a lot of opportunities for startups.
6 months ago, I wandered through the Mekong delta, in swampland where half the houses were palm shacks. Standing swamp water all around, no running water (clean or otherwise), shoddy power cables... and yet I still saw the occasional home with a big-screen TV. Sure, older models, CRTs for the most part, but people don't seem too keen on comparing what kind of TVs are around. So some of these incredibly poor swamp-dwellers have TVs, in an area where there are frequently no lights once the sun goes down. We should probably allude that they're wealthy as well, based on that single commodity good.

Another thing your 'shame the poor' position doesn't allow is for people to receive hand-me-downs, or merely to have previously been in better conditions when they could afford luxuries and now have no cashflow or liquid assets. Hell, I've given away about four old laptops (two I inherited free) and have made and given several free-of-charge desktops, two with monitors included.

This is where social conservatism and libertarianism gets you coming and going - "Look - voluntary charity covers the cracks"... then they turn around and admonish the poor for daring to have such items - "You have a 'computer', therefore you're not struggling"
But if you look at the actual cutting edge research work in the HPC and scientific space, they are working on languages that allow domain experts to express computation using higher level primitives, not on fancy compiler techniques to make general purpose imperative languages like C or Python "automagically" run faster on single cores.

The general consensus, if you look at languages like Chapel and Fortress and X10, seems to be that most scientific codes shouldn't be written using for-loops. That is the low-level control flow construct dating from the age of assembler. Instead, what scientists generally want to say is, "Apply this kernel across this domain, with these windowing conditions", or "Reduce values from this computation along these keys in my dataset". As software developers, our job is to provide the language runtime to allow them to do that; such a runtime will be the most robust, correct, maintainable, and performant.

What I wonder is if, or when, ICANN will start taking the US government to court, preferably in countries outside the USA, for violating the laws of those countries.

If ICANN does nothing, and nobody does anything to stop this, it will destroy the internet. (And there's no obvious white knight. The UN I trust even less than the US government.)
Not exactly what you're suggesting, but https://github.com/jterrace/js.js is in a similar vein: SpiderMonkey -> LLVM -> emscripten -> JS to run a JS within JS.

Is there a reason this comment was modded down?
Advances in technology drive down costs, not the reverse. They prevent diseases, reduce the need for more expensive procedures, etc.

Credentialling of doctors as it currently stands is an artificial guild system which restricts the number of doctors. It doesn't make medicine safer, but does increase doctor salaries. This is one of the ways government interferes with healthcare to artificially restrict supply-- the AMA did some effective lobbying once upon a time.

Drugs also reduce the need for hospital stays and thus costs by curing or preventing conditions that would otherwise get worse.
If this works anything like GCxHPLC, peak detection and separation algorithms will certainly help improve our resolution. From there we use ML techniques to train the classifier; doing more sample studies will improve the model's accuracy.

Urine sample tests are also quite interesting and will probably unlock an even larger metabolome full of breakdown products to analyze.

I wouldn't be surprised if toilets of the future keep track of your general health and screen for disease states. They may even be able to quantify an ever increasing risk as we age...
That's incredibly not true.

You are offended when your job offer is contingent on how well you interview, not how well you do real work?

I am offended when a prospect declines a job offer or judged or culture based on how well I interview, not how well I do real work.
You clearly didn't read even the first paragraph, which shows that just under 80% of the poor don't work (by choice).

Wow, talk about spin-doctoring. That 80% figure is people outside the labour pool, including children (specifically stated in the first paragraph), sick, and elderly people.
Wow, that used to be my library in high school. Spent many afternoons there.

If they'd served coffee back then I might have spent less of that time sleeping.

I think he means "complete", as in automate the tasks. "Pick off" is usually used as in: "The sniper was in the bell-tower, picking the enemy soldiers off one by one" (if you're a grammar geek, it's an optionally separable phrasal verb). It can also be used to refer to completing tasks.

Heh, yup. It's funny how the media neglects to mention how quickly wages have risen over the past few years WITHOUT any pressure being put on the companies by the media. These pay rises were scheduled a long time ago - they were only just put into action because of Chinese New Year a few weeks back.

It's going to be interesting to see what happens once the Chinese workers have to go back to their farms. The average Chinese farm earns about 300-500RMB per month (http://seeingredinchina.com/2011/04/27/how-poor-are-chinese-...); will the NYTimes write about that, too?
It's their primary monetisation vector from what I can see.
The same point could be made more broadly about computers as a whole. Funded by a minority initially, now hugely benefitting many people who didn't take any of the initial risk.

Libertarian selectivenes again. Government grants have always had a large part to play in computer development, but aside from that, what's really benefitting people is the internet, which was most definitely a government project, 'funded by all US taxpayers' rather than 'funded by a minority'.
Ask HN: Setting up E-book library is it legal?
I would like to ask if its legal to put up an online e-book library?
I'm not saying this is a good thing by any stretch, but clearly most people are paying middlemen already for "the privilege of interacting with their government".

E.g., Intuit or private accountants just to pay their taxes, lawyers, and so on.
Motivating Your Staff
Slot machines use a bunch of interesting psychological techniques. They are set up to produce "near misses", where the reels show you almost win, with the winning symbol just below the pay line. They create losses that appear as wins - you win less than you put in, so it feels like a win even though you lost money. They use a mapping so the odds of a reel stopping on something good are less than its physical fraction of the reel. They produce an illusion of control, since pushing the stop button has no effect on the result.

This all comes from a research paper: http://www.nh.gov/gsc/calendar/documents/20091117_harrigan_d...
(Don't take this as crass as it sounds, it's more like an exercise to get back to the theme of the site.)

How would you make a startup business out of this situation?

Either in support of public libraries, or in the vacuum left by their decline.

That level of linguistic understanding would be worth considerably more than whatever you could get from mechanical turking.

Perhaps easier would be mass-translation into some other language and then "Turk-Pimping" - using people with lower pay expectations to do tasks and taking a cut of whatever they earn.
I think this big picture 'losing ecommerce' is missing some nuanced analysis, that in my experience is actually more interesting:

* I've had a better time with facebook ads than google ads, in terms of price and targeting
* A lot of tiny businesses are doing all their promotion on facebook. I don't think it'd be too much of a stretch to say that facebook is the platform of the microbusiness. Eg like mums selling baby clothes, photographers showing their portfolio, things like that.
You know, the poor in the US don't lack clean water, cooking gas, electricity, etc. Their houses are often climate controlled, and they usually have cars to travel with. Malaria is also a minor issue, as are most infectious diseases. From what I've seen (and statistics seem to bear this out), the "poor" in the US lack virtually no essential goods and services and they have many luxuries.

If you disagree, please tell me which essential goods and services you feel the US "poor" lack.

Note that I live in India right now, so I'm likely to laugh at you if you start mentioning consumer goods that even the upper middle class over here don't have.
Or be prepared to concede with slightly more grace when your argument gets destroyed.
Is there any site that would list hackathon events in SF?
rickmatt, I see you are a new user; please ignore the condescending tone in the replies from wmf and publicus. I thought I would never say this: the comments section on the linked Ars article is more helpful than HN (and much less condescending).

Despite everything pg has tried to keep September from arriving, the September that never ends has arrived. And by now it should be obvious why the eternal September is here. It's because the problem is _people_ and this is one problem technology will never solve.
There's very little evidence that the individual investors would buy in at that range.

As evidence of faltering IPO demand, check out what happened to Zynga -- took about 10 minutes to fall below ipo price.
The worst part is that no matter how much you know that this is the case, it can be exceptionally hard not to be taken in by that "man, I was thiiiis close" feeling. I'd throw the famous Wargames quote in here, and not playing is, for me, definitely the only time I "win", but instead I'll quote everyone's favorite philosophical physicists:

"So I started betting, and right away I lost five dollars in succession — one, two, three, four, five. I was supposed to be out only seven cents; instead, I was five dollars behind! I've never gambled since then (with my own money, that is). I'm very lucky that I started off losing."

Back to the idea of near misses, I spent an afternoon reading webpages like this one...

http://wizardofodds.com/games/slots/appendix/2/

...which show with charts how the "near miss" effect works. I then went ahead and blew the $20 that was in my pocket the next time I was in a casino for a buffet dinner. I play games that I enjoy, with the licenses, all the lights and sounds and big numbers and terrible payouts. I have some fun losing, but never as much fun as I'd have with 1/4th the money if I just took it down the street to the Pinball Hall of Fame arcade.
Even if I wanted to shop online with somebody else, I would do it on the store's website not on Facebook. I wouldn't mind if Facebook powered the interaction behind the scenes, but I don't feel good about shopping on Facebook.
I've never heard of anyone starting a company from a library. Was that something that was commonly done in the 90s (I'm assuming the Chicago office is that old)?

If you were starting again in 2012, would you pick a library over a hackerspace or a shared office type deal for any reason other than cost?
If you're having trouble getting your HITs done or ensuring quality work on Turk, MobileWorks (YC S'11) is essentially a better version of Turk that takes care of these things for you. (Disclaimer: I'm an engineer at MobileWorks.) Your experiment with oDesk is interesting, but I can't help but feel that this sort of microtask work is not was oDesk was built for.

We're crowd researchers who spend our time working on methods for routing tasks to qualified workers and QAing work. We aren't a wrapper on top of Turk -- we're our own platform and we employ our own workers. You just push HITs to our API and we take care of quality control and worker management for you.

If you're interested, email me at lionel @ (my company) .com and I can help you get started.
Further, people don't curl up and die, they tend to do what it takes to survive.

Which our op, with his subscription to police protection, believes he will be protected from.

Course he has to assume that he and the others like him have paid sufficiently to keep his mercenaries/rent-a-cops armed and motivated enough to protect them.
I confess I stopped reading when they said that "Even Apple Macintosh computers now use x86, after nearly 30 years of utilizing a competing and incompatible ISA known as PowerPC (PPC)."

I understand it's all ancient history now, and that I probably shouldn't expect a ton of fact checking from somebody named "Space Penguin", but it was circa 10 years on Motorola 68k processors and then 12 on PowerPC before the Intel switch in 2006. Maybe the rest of the article is solid, but if I'm reading an article on the details of processors, it worries me when they miss a detail about processors.
I wish there was something like that. I have hooks into a bunch of sources so my plancast has a bunch around the bay area: http://plancast.com/zbowling
In each case I can perfectly well understand why I was passed over: I screwed something up, whether an algorithm on the whiteboard or incorrectly describing a certain data structure.

Most people move to Silicon Valley because they get positions at large companies that have budgets to fly them out. What many college students don't realize is that are many small startups struggling to hire people. They just aren't well known or have the resources to fly people from far away so they hire friends, students and engineers nearby.

If you really want to work in Silicon Valley, I'd say don't wait. Pay for you own plane ticket and spend a week or so in the area. Your perspective will definitely change.
Exactly. I am using a lot of my time figuring out how to get on a more impactful project.
But I think even that would be better served by me judst launching my tiny damn site already!
Because Facebook is the internet. What is that "site" thing you keep talking about?
...and it doesn't even matter if the employee-owned devices don't have the employer CA certificate installed; their traffic still gets MITMed and DLPed just fine. It's just that they don't get an (incorrect) indication that their session hasn't been MITMed, which if it is a problem at all, is a problem for the employee.

Initiating should not matter. By that account, 50/50 partnerships should not exist in the majority of cases. After all, lets be honest, in almost all cases, only one founder can come up with the original seed of the idea.

For the record, I don't believe in 50/50 as a standard at all. I believe that fair share should be divided accordingly. Having said that...

Filing a patent (which is a lengthy process meaning he doesn't even have it approved yet) does not equate to having more equity. From what I'm hearing, it really should be 50/50 unless he has something more valuable he is bringing to the table i.e. experience scaling and exiting a company profitably before, lots of connections that actually leads to something and not just knowing a lot of folks (which people can attain just by going to a ton of events and meetups; some do), etc...

Without knowing the full details, as you have said, and going just by the above, 50/50 should be fair in the scenario above.
Right. I think we actually violently agree with each other on that :) Note that in general it's ok to not write much python and live very happily just using it for non-performance critical parts. No doubt we both know a lot of people who are quite happy with that.

The problem with numpy's performance is twofold:

* Numpy expressions might not be fast enough. I believe you guys at continuum are trying to address that one way or another. In general the kernel expressed using high-level constructs in python should not be slower than an equivalent loop in C.

* Sometimes you actually want to write a for loop, because you don't care, because it's faster, because it's a single run, because the data is manageable etc. You should not be punished for doing that with 100x performance drop. You can still be punished for that with 2x performance drop.
India have even more good reasons:

- India's domestic consumption accounts for 57% of the GPD.

- India's housing bubble is not even close to what has been going on in China.

- 650 million Indian's are estimated to live on $2 a day (100 millions in china).

- India's population will overtake china's during the 2020's

OTHO, India has other problems like endemic corruption, less investment in infrastructure, or terrible levels of inflation for example.

Of the 4 library systems I am most familiar with around here:

* One in a city of 36K people doesn't have refreshments, but is located on a street with lots of restaurants and at least 3 coffee shops within a block or 2.

* One in a city of ~56K people has a coffee kiosk under a canopy/tent alongside the library (this is Southern California, weather's not too big an issue).

* The central library in a city of ~140K has a coffee shop in a sheltered part of a patio/courtyard. I don't think the branch libraries have coffee.

* Los Angeles Central library has 2 restaurants inside the main library building (Panda Express, and a sandwich counter), and a pricier white-tablecloth restaurant in the garden in front of the building. I don't know about the branch libraries.

Hey there -

New Notes app in iOS 5.1 expected.
"And even as the opportunity to create an app and make money has exploded, the time and budget needed to code that software has fallen closer and closer to zero. Programmers can add core features to apps simply by cutting and pasting a few lines of code. Known as the glue layer, this trick enables them to focus on creating new functionality."

Way to set peoples expectations for app dev, i'll make sure to set all my quotes to $0 and keep the schedule to a couple of days...
Um, this doesn't change the picture significantly. You can compare poor people to the nation as a whole, or you can compare poor adults to adults as a whole.

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2130441

The net result either way is that the poor choose not to work at a disproportionate rate.
"Approving anything that the third party asks for" doesn't really work unless you give them a completely automated, very high speed process to do this with. The DLP boxes are generating the MITM certificates on-the-fly.
Marketers don't want to miss the bus so they jump on every bandwagon.
This article is an excellent summary of all the frustrations I've encountered using both oDesk and Mechanical Turk.

I'll add one more issue with MTurk: binary decisions. Some of my tasks can't easily be broken down into accept/reject, or sometimes a worker gets something close but not all the way there. I want to be able to say "hey, you did pretty well, but please make these small changes and we'll accept it."

But that's not possible right now. You get the HIT and it's accepted or rejected. The result is that we have to sometimes reject workers who are making an honest effort but didn't sufficiently complete the task or we have to accept sub-par answers so as to not have to deal with worker blowback.
TXL is the best I've seen for transforming ASTs (sample: http://www.txl.ca/tour/tour9.html). As you can see, it's a little complex, which is because the problem is complex. I think they do a really good job. (TXL homepage http://www.txl.ca/)

Also: I recall Matz said Ruby was lisp with friendlier syntax (but I can't find the quote right now, so maybe he didn't).
From what I've seen, I'm not sure corruption is much less of a problem in China, I think it just manifests differently. Arguably an openly-corrupt society has advantages over a quietly-corrupt one.
Giving the blog a name that is easily confused with "Window Steam Blog" says a lot about the team's understanding of how to build user-friendly interfaces.

I suspect roundabouts are also more expensive and take up more space than traditional cross intersections.
@olaf: I was missing gfortran and libncurses5-dev. It's working now, sweet. :)
It's also surprising that the author credits Intel with the invention of ISAs. Sure, x86 is now the dominant ISA in many markets, but the notion of abstraction from hardware implementation was around for at least 10 years before the 8086 processor (IBM 360).
