I don't know what to reply except that the very words 'process', 'interview', 'batch', 'moderation' these all exist to bring sanity and order into any system at the expense of mediocrity.

Like someone said "Micheal Jordan would NOT want to be selected by YC".

This means people like Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page, Sergey brin, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs are not likely to come out of YC. Because the very fact that they have to go through layers of interview sessions, and then spend time performing to you, to get your attention like some performance artist performing to the king to get his attention means that is not going to happen.

Because people screw up in interviews. And a interview is generally no measure what the true story actually is. The guide to cracking interviews and performance is learning how to game the system. If your process is known to people outside,and they plan enough to cover all the corners and deal their cards well, they can game your interview process. That's how job hoppers who can do nothing hop around in circles of big successful companies. The situation from evaluating a 'good product' changes to evaluating 'how good the interview went'.

Nerds, Geeks of the best quality hate all this interviewing, playing-to-the-galleries-business. That is why they wish to build their own firm. Now if you subject them though the same bureaucratic process which they had otherwise go through in a traditional large corporate(Applying, interviewing etc) they are just going to go away, take money from somebody else and build some stuff in the same time.

If I would be building a business and need funding from somebody. I would go to them and explain them 'whats in it for them' and take their money.

But if have to go through the same large corporate styles process for this, I will be spending my time for something else. Because the very purpose my starting a business is to avoid that corporate styles processes.

You have to seriously ask what value you bring, or how different you are from anybody else. If you are just evaluating profit prospects(which I agree, is important), funding, taking profits back. Then really you are just another VC. There is nothing wrong with that. But that is what it boils down to.

You certainly won't be drinking that water after a while, though. Some might be used for cooling systems, but you would have a lot of extraneous water.
If it's fake then you have to admit this guy can act. That was quite the performance especially when he's describing how it felt to fly for the first time.

Interesting.

I don't agree with Stallman on making this distinction. (I don't agree with him in general, either, though.)
This is obviously a spoof of art.

I am sure since we are only 10 days away from April 1st, that will be the reveal.

There is simply not enough surface area, not enough motor power and not enough battery power for it to be real.

Posterous Sold What is means for consumers and SaaS startups
Huh. Installing a git extension is a neat idea. I wonder how it compares in usability with the custom client approach ("dotcloud push") and the vanilla git approach ("git push heroku master").

Feedback anyone?
Watch a bird take off. Start with some pigeons, then some sea gulls. If you can, watch an albatross - on YouTube if nothing else. As you get larger, you get heavier; as you get heavier you need more lifting force (ie, bigger wings, moving faster). Recall that weight is a function of volume and increases with the cube of your dimensions, while lifting force is a function of surface area and only increases with the square of your dimensions. Very very roughly if you're twice as big, you get four times the surface area but eight times the weight, meaning that as you get larger flying goes from being "difficult" to impossible. And a man is large, and the batteries and motors he was allegedly using just add weight.

All of which is a long way of saying that he runs very slowly, his wings are very small, and they flap very slowly. The first couple seconds of him after take off our patently absurd; you need to be applying - somehow - hundreds of pounds of force to the air to push you off the ground. Yes, fine, he has a wonderful wing design and some amazing motors and (apparently) zero weight batteries. Fantastic! But none of the components in that video are producing hundreds of pounds of force. (A commenter at Wired estimates that the servo motors are theoretically applying enough force to pick up a two ton load, in fraction of a second. If we had this tech, we could fly, although that wing design probably couldn't. We could also make Iron Man-style powered armour. Unfortunately, we don't have this tech.) The whole thing is multiple orders of magnitude off from the realm of "remotely possible".

There are just so many red flags. The bizarre edits, the poor filming, the ridiculous design of the wing, the secrecy, the way nobody in the video acts right, the way the wing magically changes designs in different shots, the fact that the wing is clearly not fully loaded, the weird clothing and gear choices, etc., etc., etc. Wired has been hoaxed hard.
>2. Nine Inch Nails - Year Zero (2007)-- This album was released by Reznor as a free digital download and Reznor also released the master tracks and encouraged remixes of the work.

YZ was actually the last album in Reznor's contractual obligation to Interscope. He leaked a number of tracks as part of the accompanying ARG, but the album itself wasn't free. I seem to remember him having to jump through a number of hoops to get the masters released, as well.

Also: keep in mind that Saul Williams had attempted a pay-what-you-want model with the Reznor-produced The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust! prior to any of the other releases you mentioned.

Correction: it doesn't install a git extension, it just runs a shell script containing these 2 lines:

git config alias.aws.elasticbeanstalk.push '!git push -f `git aws.elasticbeanstalk.remote` HEAD:refs/heads/master'
git config alias.aws.push '!git aws.elasticbeanstalk.push $@'

Not as impressive but still kind of cool.

My thoughts too. There does just doesn't seem to be enough adrenalin in his system. If it's real, he doesn't understand the risk he just exposed himself too. At those heights, any sort of malfunction would probably see him dead.
I think the ruling is correct, but someone needs to be doing this research. Dosage research and clinical trials for non-patentable compounds needs to get funded. I hope the federal government fixes this hole.

For instance, the FDA had to use a bullshit process to get clinical research done on colchicine for gout. There is also some research that vitamin D deficiency is causing many unnecessary deaths, but no ongoing clinical trials. The status quo needs to get fixed.

You cited the article to support the argument that US income inequality is less than countries like Germany, Israel and Portugal. The article explicitly says the opposite. It doesn't get much clearer than that. But if you really need to be hit over the head with it (again, from your own reference):

"Although income inequality is a global phenomenon, it isn't happening in all industrialized democracies; and in the places where it is happening it isn't, for the most part, as extreme as it is in the United States; and it isn't accelerating elsewhere as quickly, for the most part, as it is in the United States."

I don't know whose numbers are more accurate. But you still haven't explained why, if Europe really does have a fairer tax structure (as you maintain they do), we shouldn't emulate them.
Because I think when Google owned it they said they won't accept apps made with it on the market.

That's not true at all. I'm not aware of anyone who actually did publish anything, but Google didn't stop you doing it.

It's quite obviously fake -- given that we are 11 days from April Fools, it's probably either an April Fools joke discovered prematurely, or set-up for a bigger one. Maybe something similar to the tale of icarus.
For the record, he's budgeting around 17 m^2 surface area for wing and 100 kg for pilot (http://www.humanbirdwings.net/about/working-on-the-wings/). That's about 5 kg/m^2 wing loading, well within range of something for a microlight(http://www.caa.co.uk/default.aspx?catid=1416&pagetype=90...) if a bit heavy for an unpowered glider.

EDIT:
The wing surface (that kite he mentions sacrificing) is from one of these ( http://ride.slingshotsports.com/2012-Fuel# ) which is intended for exactly this sort of thing--supporting a human in flight.

Note that in the design blog the motors are being run through a 25:1 planetary gear.

I agree - I'm not sure whether to call what I find most challenging "Interaction Design" or "User Experience," but there are a lot of elements of design that are neither technical nor aesthetic. In the chatroom example, there isn't much involved because it appears to be so generic, but as you innovate more and more, this ID/UX becomes increasingly challenging.

One slightly related design problem would be, for example, how the buddy list on facebook chat works. One could classify users into groups, allow you to 'pin' a user at the top, expose more ways to have group conversations. While, one could always argue for the simplest possible solution (i.e. one big list!), it's not always the best for the user and I would read anything that helps in guiding processes to discover and decide what is best for the user. In my experience, good UI is often far less controversial than good ID/UX and less of an issue when keeping a team happy and excited about a product. All of the biggest issues where I work have been on a much bigger paradigmatic level that we debate on philosophical grounds endlessly to little avail.
So, here's how to do the same thing on dotCloud:

Emperor 1510 – Every geeks dream « StartupTunes
As someone has pointed out elsewhere, you can see in one of their other videos that they have major inconsistencies in the videos that they post. For instance, in this picture, http://i.imgur.com/3Fgct.jpg you can see that there is no black square above the "S" logo. Then, the camera points downward, then upward again, and there is a black square above the "S" logo.

This video is very fake.
Wrong. Apps made in Google App Inventor could not be published to the market.
I was thinking the exact same thing, I feel very dissapointed every time I see something interesting at the top of HN, and when I'm going to try it out, there's no Linux version of it.

It's like you said, if they want a good number of beta testers/ early adopters, they should have a Linux version.

That's not the interesting part. Interesting is when you can do indistinguishable CGI replacement in real time. And then from there, when you can do it in the camera (or on a smartphone). Then what, indeed.
Facebook's ToS is the best I've seen. Unfortunately it's not creative commons licensed.
Sanctions on NK are a noop anyway since NK themselves are isolationist.
The thing you should also be complaining about is the sudden appearance of a black square on the wing.

I think our friend may have damaged the wing, patched it, and the cut there is them trying to edit out a fuckup launch attempt.

Here's another example: http://www.crucialthought.com/2011/05/15/publishing-an-app-i...

I think the confusion was that the AppInventor FAQ said you couldn't do it - but only because they didn't provide an out-of-the-box way to do it. That's quite different from banning it (which is what the OP implied).

Bullshit process? URL Pharma exploited a loop hole to do 'research' and a clinical trial on a drug that has been known for centuries to work (yes centuries, the plant it is based from has been used since roman times).... Doctors are angry because suddenly the poor patients without insurance could no longer afford medication they need. That research was worthless, proved what was already proven, and exploited a loophole in the FDA grandfathering process to make a company a risk free profit.

The price went from $0.09/pill to $4.85/pill overnight.

I'm not convinced using Stripe or similar services gets you out of PCI compliance.

I don't doubt that SpaceX can get to Mars eventually, maybe even within 10 years. I really hope they do, I'm rooting for them.

We're decades away from that kind of capability.
If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.

That quote sounds pretty awesome. However, in the real world that's not how most ships are built. There's a lot more "giving orders" than "teaching to yearn". It's not like the shipbuilding industry is famed for the dreamy yearning of its laborers.
