...which is being commoditized as well.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think EMC is going anywhere soon. But their days of fat margins by the virtue of vendor-lockin are numbered.

They're obviously trying to get moving with acquisitions like this. But one can only wonder how on earth pivotal (~100 employees) is supposed to beat 30years of BigCo inertia out of ~50k employees - if that's the idea behind this.

Are they trying to rebuild Rome with lego bricks?
Considering porn was a $13 billion industry last year, I think people dramatically overestimate the cost of piracy.

That number's from Wikipedia, in case you're wondering.

Certainly we sell downloadable digital goods, easy to pirate, and have seen no appreciable falloff in our income over 3 years.
Embrace the Startup Curve before the Startup Curve
Spring is coming, which is really helpful. Try to get out and do things. It's really hard when you're poor, but at least get out and enjoy the natural part of the universe. Even a walk through the neighborhood looking at flowers is better than a day on the couch.

Build something, to help keep your spirits up and your brain engaged. It doesn't matter what, doesn't matter how large or small. Small might even be better. Just build something.
Well, I do at least (and presumably the 27 other people that upvoted this so far). Not interesting to you? That's ok. You can flag and ignore it. This move means a lot to me.

You are trying to short-cut through Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, and I don't think you will win.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslows_hierarchy_of_needs

Maslow states that in order to achieve the high levels of self-actualization, ie. creativity, problem solving, etc, you need to have solved the other problems of life, ie. physical safety, love, companionship, etc.

By living in a car, you are giving up the foundations of the entire hierarchy, (shelter, safety, food, etc), and will be fighting an uphill battle to reach that higher state of self-actualization that is required to be able to work at a startup pace. I don't think it's a good idea to just live out of a car and fight the small battles every day because it will exhaust you.

I mean, let's be real. What if you get sick? What if it's 5am and you had a bad gyro the night before and you need to go real bad. Where are you going to go? Drive down to Page Mill and Hillview and do your business next to the horses?

If you can't afford the $600/month to rent a room in a house, even for 6 months, then you might want to consider saving up the money first and then getting a place or sublet for the summer. There are plenty of college kids that need sublets over the summer.

SF rent is probably more than 3x rent of the bay. I believe the Dojo rent is around $1 per sqft -- mostly because that area is actually zoned as light industrial.
Apple's done a couple of really bad things here:

1) Developers who build without XCode 4.3.1 and iOS 5.1 SDK cannot leverage the retina display, even if they embed hi-res images in their app.

2) In order to use XCode 4.3.1 and iOS 5.1 SDK, you MUST be running OSX Lion. You can not install it on Snow Leopard. This is bad - Apple has always supported "up to two versions back" but now, for a minor version release, has abandoned support for an OS that is still 'current'. Mountain Lion isn't released yet, and hence Lion and Snow Leopard and the last two versions.

What this means is developers who need to update their apps have to first buy OSX Lion (many have been legitimately holding off because it's pretty crappy, overall). This is specially worse for developers who build OSX and iOS apps - upgrading an OS and expecting your apps to "just work" isn't practical. I was just waiting to skip to Mountain Lion directly, but this forces me to pay Apple, test on and use Lion for a few months even though I don't want to.

Forcing developers to upgrade their OS just to support a .1 SDK update is a cheap, non-classy move by Apple.

Sounds like you've never lived in a big city before -- many "real" apartments lack laundry machines too. You actually have to take your laundry and go to a laundromat across the street. Painful right?
I am pretty sure that the main reason a lot of folded start-up companies, killed projects etc. do not just open source their code is 'code pride' in some form.

No one wants to publish a 'hack' to the scrutiny of a elite community of programmers, and for some companies just cleaning up the code to the standards the community expect would cost a lot of money.
That's a fantastic reason to be leery of vendors want to do business that way. If I can see their offering described on materials posted in public, I can be much more confident I'm being treated fairly by them.

What the hell difference does it make who they're talking to? What matters is what they can provide and under what terms.
Wow. Awesome. Thanks for confirming
It wouldn't be public information they would be using their own server logs which of course no one else has access to.
Thanks. Your advice is really helpful. I'll see what I can do about making sure my LinkedIn is up-to-date and such.

Craigslist also sounds like a good possibility too!

I don't think I qualified at any point for unemployment since I resigned, or at least that's my understanding. I'll see what I can do about benefits programs, but a lot seem based on income alone, or need paperwork that takes a while to acquire (record of monthly expenses? not sure what would count as a valid record, or birth certificate, which I don't currently have a copy of). Wish there was someone I could meet with in person to work through these things, but I don't know of any walk-in clinics or anything to help people like this.
The problem is that constant replaying incredibly awesome ideas in you head until you get bored with them is much more pleasurable than actually making the effort to attempt to build it, watch it how horribly it came out and then watch it crumble or go utterly unnoticed. Even if you succeed it sometimes turns out less pleasurable than it was anticipated.

You can either get pleasure by running the idea on your internal neural network or run it in cruel physical reality and get pain.
"Programming has never been a strong passion of mine", if you look at the real successful people--the people that are happy, they do things that they are passionate about. If you're not passionate about programming or being a hacker--why put yourself through it? What ARE you passionate about?
Thanks. I do try and enjoy cheaper things when I can. Nothing too active though, as that's more calories and higher food expenses (kidding, but only slightly ;-) )
Weird. Although I have heard that Pivotal Tracker is making very significant revenues (in the tens of millions)...this is not much for a Billion dollar Company like EMC!
That just means you're browsing too slowly ;)

AIUI and as you've probably figured out when you Googled for the error message, Hacker News stores state in closures, and there's a finite amount of space for closures. So if you wait for a long time, then click e.g. "Next Page", the HN software has already garbage collected the closure storing the information necessary to generate your specific next page.
It's really good, both the design/composition and the content selection. It doesn't have the kind of quality articles Hacker Monthly offers but feels a lot like a real magazine, great for some light reading.

Here's the RSS feed for new issues http://theredditorissues.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default I remember I had troubles finding it the first time.
Well, I'm going to overthink it a bit more.

An armed cheerleader, given alcohol or significant emotional distress is more likely to act rashly than a marine who was intentionally subjected to abuse in basic training to see if he'd snap under pressure and trained to be disciplined at all times.

Your initial thinking isn't wrong, but this is HN; we pick things apart here.
As an EMC Employee, I just hope they let us use Pivotal Tracker!
To clarify, I meant to write "default maximum size". (and thus ceiling of log_2 of that being the max bit size). That aside, down voting my voicing a reasonable question which spurred a subthread that has useful dialogue seems a bit immature.
I could see that from EMC's point of view. But Pivotal would still have to accept their offer and I'm thinking they had no difficulties finding clients and the owners probably had enough money to retire already.

EMC must have sold them on something more than just a huge pile of money. The vision that EMC sold them on is what would give them the assurance that Picotal is not selling just to die there.
I'm doing it because I can make a living that way. I'm sure that's why most people do their jobs. Not everyone does what they dream of, because society doesn't value all contributions equally, and some not at all.

Helping poor people with odd jobs and cleaning is actually something I'm passionate about, but it's also a good way to be pretty poor and destitute yourself.
Definitely think you're on to something here. Contrary to other commenters, I actually like that you're taking advantage of the geo location api. You should include an option for zip code and/or city, but personally what you have it fine.

Your UI is a bit bare, but nice and simple. Don't add too much to that. Simple is good.

Also love that the trailer auto-plays, which is contrary to how I want to experience video on most sites. However, since your site is about movies, auto-playing the trailer is a perfect implementation.

Ping me on Twitter, @geuis. I'd like to be informed as you further develop the site.

Good luck!
manifest version 2 is not backward compatible, so most extensions should not update yet. When Chrome 18 is deployed to the stable channel, we will update the docs and begin slowly encouraging developers to transition.

In the shorter term, developers who want to prevent their extensions from being trivially detected can use the web_accessible_resources property instead: http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/dev/manifest.html#w.... This property is available in Chrome 19 and higher and is ignored in older versions.
What would have been in it for the Pivotal guys to do consulting to EMC? EMC wanted a solid team of next-gen developers. My impression was that Pivotal was doing fairly well so probably insisted on a good price for their company.
The web welcomes you with open arms.
To me the closest example of an "overnight success" is where someone bursts on the scene as a celebrity because of their discovered personality. For example, people on reality shows become "niche" successful because they are discovered, rarely because they toiled away at that skill. However, their "success" still comes from years upon years of refined, unique experience to create the look+personality that created a star. If they had been discovered in the prepubescent period, it is almost a certainty nobody would have cared.

It's the same idea, just with different variables.
That's a matter of perspective. Folds and scans exist for all regular data types, not only arrays, so I consider this a part of functional programming and type theory.

Here he is computing the history of states of a random walk as scan (*) initial updates. If you wanted to simulate branching random walks, you'd work over the data type of multiway trees instead of arrays, but the algorithm to compute the history of intermediate states would otherwise be identical, using the scan function for multiway trees.

Malcolm Gladwell calls it "deliberate practice".

Malcolm Gladwell, who has said in an interview that he writes to try out ideas

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122671211614230261.html

"Q: Do you worry that you extrapolate too much from too little?
"A: No. It's better to err on the side of over-extrapolation. These books are playful in the sense that they regard ideas as things to experiment with. I'm happy if somebody reads my books and reaches a conclusion that is different from mine, as long as the ideas in the book cause them to think. You have to be willing to put pressure on theories, to push the envelope. That's the fun part, the exciting part. If you are writing an intellectual adventure story, why play it safe? I'm not out to convert people. I want to inspire and provoke them."

is good, while trying out ideas, at crediting his sources. He correctly sources the term "deliberate practice" to its coiner, psychologist K. Anders Ericsson, a world-leading expert on the subject of the acquisition of expertise.

From the same paper:

Starting with Chrome 18, extensions will be subject to
a CSP that enforces some of these bans [13]. Our study
partially motivated their decision to adopt the bans [1],
although the policy that they adopted is slightly stricter
than our recommendations. The mandatory policy in
Chrome 18 will ban HTTP scripts in core extensions, inline scripts, and dynamic code generation. Due to technical limitations, they are not adopting a ban on adding
HTTP scripts to HTTPS websites. The policy will remove all of the core extension vulnerabilities that we
found. The only extensions that the policy will permanently break are the two extensions that rely on eval.

The paper is mistaken in that these changes are actually coming with the manifest_version=2 property that is optional starting with Chrome 18, not required. However, we will be slowly transitioning the ecosystem over to this version and will eventually require it.
*7-10 days from the launch of the new iPad, which is now.
fair enough, but i'm not sure i'd agree. it's much easier to detect a malicious extension than to detect a page you are about to visit is going to exploit the negligence of one of the extensions.

firstly, the extension source is available meaning it's open to review and criticism. more so, the concern here is even if i am careful about the extensions i install, i am still vulnerable.
Apple release OS X Mountain Lion Developer perview 2
The CSP changes primarily address the XSS issue in extensions. Many of these vulnerabilities come because extension developers run code from untrusted sources. CSP blocks that in most cases.

Separately, we implemented web_accessible_resources. That addresses the sniffing issues.

That's probably a better option in any case as some apps can be erratic on a case-sensitive file system (or at least they were back when I last tried it around 10.2~10.3).
Thanks. Great suggestion pal.
As a fellow iOS developer I feel your pain - I've been dreading the forced move to Lion since Lion's release. I haven't researched this yet but a possible solution would be to install Lion and Xcode on a VM? Then you could update the OS as frequently as you liked and not have to worry about it breaking the rest of your workflow/implementing "features" like Automatic Termination (my main reason for avoiding Lion).
Apple has not always supported two versions back. It has usually been the case that the latest version of Xcode requires the latest version of OS X. See Xcode 2.0, Xcode 3.0, Xcode 3.2, Xcode 4.0. Xcode 4.2 was an aberration.

As far as my stats go, around 85% of programmers that use Macs are using Lion. I imagine for Mac and iOS developers specifically it's well over 90%.
Since moving to silicon valley I've had the good fortune to know a group of highly motivated, talented entrepreneurs. They are some of the leaders in their industry, the spearhead of an important movement.

When I first met them, none of them had achieved wild success. I watched them struggle through failed startups, crap jobs, endless fundraising and calamity.

Now several game changing startups have emerged from this group. I am proud to know them. Not one of them was an overnight success. Just determined hard work, learning, and picking themselves up off the floor.
Thanks for the comment pal. I see what you mean, I have been too *ing frustrated with similar situations too.

In some ways this is better, and in others it is much worse. Using named constants instead of magic numbers, and breaking up complex logic into simpler named parts is a huge win for readability/maintainability, as any programmer quickly learns. The big one liner would be a lot nicer in about 3-4 chunks.

I’d rewrite this example as something like:

num.steps <- 1000
num.walks <- 100
step.std.dev <- 0.03
start.value <- 15

rand.row <- function() rnorm(num.steps, 1, step.std.dev)
walk <- function () cumprod(rand.row()) * start.value
all.walks <- t(replicate(100, walk()))
plot(colMeans(all.walks), type = "l")

[I’m not an R guy, so that might not be the most typical style ever, but you get the idea...]

I had thought the same thing about using a power plant's steam output to preheat the inbound water. Turns out, that bringing water up to just below boiling is a very small amount of energy, compared to the energy it takes to boil off that same amount of water. As a demonstration, fill a pot with water and put it in the stove. Notice that it will start boiling within about 5 minutes, but it takes maybe a half hour to an hour to boil off the whole pot of water.
Maybe EMC is planning to reintegrate VMware. VMware already bought a lot of tech companies in the cloud and development space. To go into a competition with a subsidiary firm does not make any sense.
Hand guns are made with the specific purpose of killing human beings

I had, for a number of years, a .22 target pistol. Made for the specific purpose of punching small holes in paper. You _could_ use it for killing people, but you'd have to work at it.

That aside, being terrified of a thing seems like a sad way to live.

I'd be more afraid of a person with intent to harm, than the specific tool he uses.
One of my favorite examples is YouTube. They actually were about as close to "overnight success" as it gets. It was still something like a year and a half before they had significant traffic and most of us heard of them.
Writing the code did not take him several months; that's just the period of time he utilized this code. During that time, he tweaked it for evolving requirements. What took a couple of months was the path to his epiphany.

I'm sorry but this represents everything that's wrong with the industry and why I sometimes find it hard to take startup people seriously. This sort of behavior, which is reckless and illogical (not to mention unsafe) should not be rewarded. It should be seen as a vain attempt at attention seeking. It's clear you have other options at making the move. If you have your heart set on being here, that's fine. Do the move in a controlled and logical way that makes sense. Just like you should be building your startup.

Instead of pulling stunts like living in a car, you need to wow us by creating an awesome product that people love, that solves a real-world problem. Investors, VCs, and other devs respect that. Not for being the startup world cliche poster child of living in your car in Palo Alto.

All through your article you rarely mentioned your product or business, or why you think it's so great you're willing to go to these lengths and accept this sort of risk that crosses the line of what most people would consider sane. You didn't say how much you believe in it, only a thinly-veiled illusion that somehow meeting the "right people" in SV will make the difference for you. If that's what your belief system is based upon, I'm sorry to say you're in for a rude awakening.

And for the people that say this "will be a great experience". That is rubbish. Moving a few 100 miles away to SV to build an iphone app out of your car is not great or cool. I know some people doing that at startups right now that get paid and have a nice apartment in SF and are miserable.

If you really want to have a great experience, spend it in a foreign country learning about another culture. Travel around Europe. Be homeless (coach surf) there. That, I assure you, will be a far better experience and leave you a much richer person than spending your days buried in Xcode in the back of your Honda Civic.
