- start small

yup, the best plan is not to have one, and never make one, when it's a fait accompli then you announce the plan
Pixar did it for 16 years (1979-1995) before they released a movie.
[3] Roger Bannister is famous as the first person to run a mile in under 4 minutes. But his world record only lasted 46 days. Once he showed it could be done, lots of others followed. Ten years later Jim Ryun ran a 3:59 mile as a high school junior.

One of the great stories of the last 100 years. There are many recountings of it, but "The Perfect Mile" is as good as any. Supposedly it was claimed to be impossible, and that any person to break the 4 minute mile would likely die from the effort. Bannister also wrote his own book about it.
I always think back to Linus Torvalds's first email about starting linux.

"I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones."
As you suggest, this is definately a legacy issue of being tied to the teat of a 1980's terminal. People still like to edit in simple editors.

I've viewed it as a Model-View-Controller problem, where everyone is attempting to merge the Model and View into one. Technically your editor should be worrying about the View. It can draw division however you configure it to. But when saving to a Model source file, that should be portable, without any (or very little) formatting embedded in it (e.g. MultiMarkdown).

You should be able to customize your editor, much like swapping out a CSS file on a website, and skin it to your desires.
He also didn't praise people working for him in public. Or mention people working for him in public. At all. Are you sure you aren't mistaking silence for civility?

Huh? Free Internet is ipso facto not a business idea.
> it would be great if a startup could make a lot of cpus look to the developer like 1 cpu. most ambitious: do it automatically with a compiler.really hard, but is this really impossible?

>if so, prove it if not, the expected value of working on it might be really high.

Yes, I agree. But these people do continue to be influenced by information in the public sphere, although they do tend to select sources that they agree with. They also were influenced when settling into their original positions.

I really don't think this general behavior will change, but it's not all or nothing, it's a matter of degress. I think everyone does this at least a little bit. Unfortunately, a lot of people do it a lot. If you can shave away at it a little bit at a time, it could have a large impact in the end.
You’re Working too Hard to Make an Impact
What about free email? Or free search engines? I'm not really suggesting that ad-supported Internet is a great idea, but it's at least a possibility.
Launch Lessons
there isn't a premium edition of email available, though one is certainly desired (personal assistants and secretaries currently fill this gap)

I think you misunderstand. The premium edition of email is much like the premium edition of anything else- it's the email you don't have to use, the plane you don't have to fly, the car you don't have to drive, the food you don't have to cook. So I don't know that personal assistants and secretaries are "filling a gap" in the stop-gap sense, but rather they are the solution.

If you want to capitalize on it, do like a chauffeur company would do, but with email.
How do you anticipate problems like buggy GL drivers with inconsistent shader implementations? At the rate new devices are coming out it seems impossible for any framework to cover them all.
Replace email and replace search are two signs that Google is failing at its core strengths, and I agree with this. They have made many mistakes in the past few years and there is a definite opportunity in taking them head on in both of these markets.

with number 6, if you are going to break it up for cores you may as well break it up for computers and put it on the network. Hence MapReduce, etc.

with #7, our bodies are very good at telling us when something is wrong with warning signs. we can't afford health care as it is today, let alone with the system being clogged up with healthy people paranoid about possibly being ill.
I look at medical diagnostics as though I'm looking at my production servers (a poor analogy in many ways, but lets go with it)

Watching charts on a production server, you see patterns over time - e.g you can see a weekend, or holiday quite easily. Keeping an eye on these, you can see when things start hitting bottlenecks and you need to do something to improve the situation.

When I get my bloodwork checked, its once a year - can you imagine checking in on your production servers just once a year?

I live in the Seattle area - Vitamin D deficiency is a huge (but not well known) problem in this area. I would pay real money to see a chart of my Vitamin D levels on a daily basis (without needing to draw blood!). I can then adjust my supplement dosage as needed.

I have a food allergy that is slow to flare up and slower to go away again - being able to check various levels of things in my system to track against food intake will help me find out exactly what foods cause what issues. The US food industry would pay a fortune to have this ability not be available!
DDG isn't the answer - not yet, anyway

I find that ~50% of my results I re-attempt with a !g, !w or !wo before it

I know the guy behind the site reads threads here, so i'd ask him to check his logs for the number of instances a user has re-run a search query but with Google or Bing and then work out why his results for those queries are not working.

I think the 'new google' will be built around a PageRank that takes into account online social networks rather than links
As an amateur historian, I found the Colombus bit a bit interesting, and probably more on-point than Graham might have even known. Columbus, his backers, and his detractors all accepted that the world was round. What they disagreed about was how big it was, and how far it would be to Asia by sailing West. Everybody, pretty much, by that point knew that the world was literally round (and flat only in stories). This was especially true in monastic and church circles which had known this for longer.

In other words they all agreed it was a great idea and an ambitious project that might succeed. They disagreed about what it would take to get there, and whether there might be obstacles in the way.

Seems like a very fitting metaphor for an ambitious startup.

Edit: For sources, you can start with "Heaven and Earth in the Middle Ages: The Physical World Before Columbus" by Rudolf Simek, which is a book uncommon in its level of insight. His description of Marco Polo's purported encounter with a unicorn had me laughing in both humor and amazement.

Simek's basic thesis was that Columbus's expedition was important historically because it blew away an important piece of medieval ethnographic thought--- once it became clear that the areas he had reached were not India, but were inhabited anyway, it doomed the Augustinian argument against the existence of inhabited continents beyond Africa, Asia, and Europe. This then paved the way for questioning the religious and classical basis for some aspects of the physical world, and lead in many ways to the Renaissance (though I think the failure of the Crusades and the translation of Arabic writings into Latin had a strong hand there too). The importance of Columbus's voyage about changing the way we think about our place on the world was still important. Another good point about ambitious startups?

The example of email as an "irresistible force vs an immovable object" really resonates with me. There are many things in that class:

- The way we communicate (pg gave a good example of this one)

- The way we write software (text files? really?)

- The Operating Systems we use (All the major design decisions were made in the 80's.)

- Computer input systems (are keyboards really a global maxima for efficient control?)

Eventually, these will definitely be replaced. Why not make "eventually" now? We won't be running Windows or Linux in 2050. Why not be the person who invents what we ARE using?
Wow that's really cool. Using your own product to solve your business' problem in true startup fashion.
Yes, that's the counter-argument; that the 3hr application process will in itself filter the pool, and improve match rates, thus keeping effort-to-match rates reasonable. It will have to be seen if it pays off.

One big problem you might face- this would make it even harder for HR to do a passable job, requiring even more time from managers within the company.
I'm not sure it would have to consistently exceed it, as long as it varied in a random fashion, and that your actual use of the network didn't result in an observable increase in instantaneous or average traffic.

So if it saturates your connection for an hour for 6 hours randomly spaced throughout a day, it's not immediately apparent if that's because you're using it, or it's a decoy stream. Varying the amount used (and always adding at least a little extra when in use) would also make it harder to detect.

At least, that's how it seems to me. There may be some sort of cunning statistical attacks depending on the implementation, especially if the attackers have the endpoint under physical surveillance (and notice that your presence always matches traffic increases of some level)
Yes, but then I have to remember for which sites did I truncate the hash, for which I converted the hash to hexadecimal, etc.
I think all of those things are being worked on right now. Khan Academy and co on replacing universities. The whole 'quantified self' set of gadgets, like the basis band, the zeo sleep tracker, the withing's scale, etc. DuckDuckGo for a search engine startup, etc.
Most households have no problem paying $50/month for a service that their whole family uses frequently: cable TV. So here is my idea: make and sell this great email-like/todo-list/file-sharing/whatever service that an entire household can use, and charge $50/month.

That's only $10/month/user for a family of five. Come up with reasonable limits to ensure enough revenue (eg. max 10 users per plan).
When he crossed the Rubicon river, Gaius Julius Caesar was 51.

Earlier, when he was 31, Caesar allegedly cried upon seeing a statue, in Spain, outlining the accomplishments that Alexander the Great had done before he died at 33.

Great deeds are done at all ages.

The only reason we obsess over the great deeds of the young is because it is exceedingly rare to achieve greatness during youth.
If you believe in the possibility of anonymity on the Internet, then you should probably oppose laws requiring "the keeping of IP address assignment records and the mapping of them to custormer records".

I've also heard that this law requires ISPs to turn this information over without a warrant. Is this not correct?

After there are data retention laws for IP assignment info, it's only one step away from requiring it of websites. "To protect the children" of course.
Man finds a black kind of rock that burns; discovers that you can get a lot of this rock if you dig deeper, but deep mines have water. In order to successfully mine this rock, man devises a steam powered engine (neatly enough powered by this same rock) to pump out the water. No, not the steam engines you're familiar with. This is the Newcomen Steam Engine: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newcomen_engine

The Newcomen Engine has a fatal flaw: it cools the steam for the return stroke, losing energy to the latent heat of evaporation each time. James Watt discovers the latent heat of evaporation, and realizes that separating the condenser from the piston would improve efficiency. So let's go build some railroads, right? Not so fast. It would still be another 30 years (100 years from the invention of the Newcomen Engine) before railroads and ferry boats would be regularly powered by reciprocating steam engines.

What's the moral? For 100 years, vast leaps in technology came one after the other. In the process, the Laws of Thermodynamics were discovered and described. Many learned men stood around patting each other on the back at how successful, how inventive they were...at digging a black rock called "coal" from the ground.

But most people don't dig rock from the ground. Most people do travel from point A to point B on a fairly regular basis. The world changed when 100 years of technology left the mine shaft and the factory, and got people where they were going just a bit faster.

I'm convinced that computers are still at the Newcomen/Watt transition. We have a ways to go before the world truly changes.
I bet social engineering mark monitor is a lot harder than doing the same to even network solutions.

Now wikipedia is likely fine since EVERYONE knows it is important. But what about IBM's marketing campaign #249's 'desielenginesandyou.com'? If you were IBM would to trust registrar x's underpaid customer support?

A sidenote, but it's interesting that your comment drifts into the 'fallacy of the now' which is the antithesis of the essay.

You posit Raspberry Pi (flippantly or not is not clear) as the 'next Steve Jobs' response...
I love what Upton's trying to achieve, Braben is a hero of mine and I cut my chops on the BBC Micro in the early 80s, but it still stands that this is just the latest in a long line of interesting forays into the minicomputing sphere.

Jobs' post-NeXT vision was fascinating in that no steps were widely anticipated. No betas, no early release, just pure visionary product. I'm a linux guy, no Apple fanboyism here, but I see what pg is trying to reference. From nowhere, blow away your competition _and_ create new markets with singular product vision. The Anti-Lean. There's a Jedi aspect to this - the next one will arrive, we just have to hope (s)he doesn't turn to the dark side.

At the death of Julius, Rome being controlled by one man was unconscionable. By the time Augustus died the opposite was true.
Yes, raising awareness is easy compared to finding a solution. But African politics has failed to solve a pretty awful issue for 25 years. Placing this issue in the global spotlight might force something to happen before another generation of villages is raped or abducted into slavery.
Many startup ideas are about extracting a few more dollars from the end user - what kind of annoyance can we solve today? - but I think it's important to think beyond the scope of consumer products to get to the real game changers.

A lot of the value being created in the digital sphere right now revolves around collecting information about people and providing it to third parties, who in turn use it to solve problems (and collect even more data). I believe these services will change our lives the most.

For example, major innovations in the near future might revolve around creating 100% safe neighborhoods through smart surveillance. People are rapidly becoming accustomed to being tracked all the time, anyway.

Technological progress and major societal changes go hand-in-hand. I think whoever can best envision what those changes will be - and how to profit from them - will become the next Steve Jobs.
> "If we ever return to peacetime, will this technology be used against American citizens?"

The follow-on to this line of thought is: for how long will the operators even reasonably know who they are actually using the technology against? Would a drone pilot from, say, the US gulf coast have any ability to distinguish between North Korea or Northern China? Or Iran and Afghanistan? Or a Taliban compound in Afghanistan and a somewhat-remote domestic compound a la Ruby Ridge?

To say nothing of what is possible when augmented reality overlays can turn real-time video feeds into essentially fully-CG interpretations of the battlefield and targets.

The only thing I don't like about Fabric ( and perhaps I missed reading a step in the docs ) is working with very complex systems, I wanted to break fabric recipes/scripts into multiple files and found doing `fab -f zkservers.py reload` slightly tedious. I've much rather do `./zkservers.py reload`
Not a bad plan, actually, since most of the garbage on Facebook's stream has always been the result of pointless apps. Google+ doesn't need to be cluttered with dozens of "What piece of office furniture are you?" quizzes.
TED speech interrupted by Improve Everywhere
Nice! I've started using files to separate logic, I recently went from 3 tiered (GUI/code/libraries) to 4 tiered (GUI design/GUI action code/data structures and algorithms/libraries) and added folders for elements (like a custom made back arrow image) and IO samples to run my programs on. Making my software structured like this has helped, but it's far from where you can see even a simple algorithm in it's graphical form that I see in my mind, as that algorithm would all be in a single section of my structure. I'll have to look into the separate files idea, though perhaps I'll build my own custom code editor, I'm skilled in things like that, perhaps I could pull it off.

Michael Hartl's book stands out because he keeps it current, a challenge given fast-evolving Rails development practices.

Last year I set out to create a set of example apps to bridge the gap between Michael Hartl's excellent tutorial and the piecemeal advice found on experts' blogs and Stack Overflow. The example apps are accompanied by tutorials (walkthroughs, really, not as thorough or informative as Hartl's book) and show how to set up a Rails app with authentication libraries (either Devise or OmniAuth), RSpec, Cucumber, and popular options such as MongoDB or Haml. Each has a companion application template that serves to generate a starter app. Like Michael Hartl, my contributors and I have seen increasing interest in Twitter Bootstrap and recently updated the app templates to offer a choice of front-end frameworks, including Zurb Foundation and Twitter Bootstrap (either Less or Sass versions). It seems Twitter Bootstrap for the front end is catching on -- fast -- for the same reasons Rails has succeeded on the back end: convention over configuration and a well-crafted implementation of commonly-used functionality.

Here are the RailsApps example apps, now with Twitter Bootstrap: http://railsapps.github.com/

Sales is part of doing a startup. Selling the company is the biggest sale. You have to give them props for finding the people willing to buy.

Additionally, Loopt (being founded in 2005) did a ton of work that was obsolesced by the iPhone and ubiquitous GPS. Their timing was off, but you really can't fault them for giving it the college try. At a minimum GreenDot's internal engineering capacity has been massively upgraded.

There's a definite opportunity to build a competitor to Apple and reach the hackers first: building a better PC for hackers to create new software built on Open Source and Web technologies.

The cracks are starting to show with using Mac OSX as a primary machine for hacking. It's got unix under the hood, but every successive release has become more consumer focused and less hacker friendly. The proprietary nature of developing native apps also turns off a lot of the great OSS hackers.

If you could get an all star team together with someone like Rahul Sood to design the hardware and someone like Miguel De Icaza to design the OS and developer APIs, you'd be well on your way to tackling this problem and building the next Apple. And this time, it could be a lot more open source friendly.
