Parent is talking about Agent systems and just about everything that isn't regular statistics. Basically, in the past 20 years, computers got 1000 times smarter and people didn't, so old statistical models became tractable to apply to terabytes of data, and the schools of "invent a thinking algorithm" stopped being relevant.

i wonder if this is because their lizard brain hasn't yet been trained to filter what's important vs what isn't.

i find myself constantly questioning little details in my codebase like, "why do we thread a request all the way through the business logic" and i think the reason i catch these things, is because my brain hasn't become complacent with this style through 15 years of solving low level problems in C. all sorts of things jump out at me as accidental complexity that the most senior guys don't even notice. i think it's because it didn't used to be important, or maybe its not important to them because they wrote it over years and are already familiar, but it sure is important when you're trying to scale your team and they're facing a brick wall of code needing to be understood for every single little defect.

this complacency is why big codebases get so noisy that you can't see the nuances of requirements in a code review. it's not possible to ask high level questions like < http://www.dustingetz.com/how-to-read-code > without aggressively abstracting away all non-essential complexity. breaking experienced people out of this complacent tolerance for accidental complexity, as we tackle higher and higher complexity, is a really hard problem.
Installing Linux means you have a wealth of ways to instantly write code (gcc, g++, ruby, python, php, perl, and a browser where you can write Javascript) and there are plenty of places to go when it's capabilities run out.

It's easy to "instantly write code" on Linux just like it's easy to "instantly change the brakes" on my car. (I say this as a long-time Linux user and developer.)

Squeak is the only "operating system" I've seen or used that is setup to instantly write code. Actually, I take that back. IIRC they jerry-rigged the OLPC to behave similarly with Python.

I agree! Those prices are nuts. The really weird thing about them is the range -- I see everything from 4 buttons to 160! That makes me really wonder how they're set.

Even with the variation, the bulk of them appear to be $40 or more, which seems like a lot to me. If one is shopping used, pretty dresses can be had for under $10 at a thrift store. It makes no sense to pay so much for a dress I can't even try on first!
It's astounding to me that the US prison system is such a snake pit. The inmates rule everything but the surface. It should be all but impossible for murder and other major crimes to happen in prison; we already know where the criminals are!
That's really awesome that you already built something with your knowledge. I learned HTML/CSS when I was 13/14 but didn't really do anything useful with it for several years.

One really important thing I've learned since then is don't read HN too much.

You'll get too caught up in "best practices" or the hottest new libraries that you won't ever finish a product. It's a habit I'm working on, but it can be summarized as doing "Enough for Now"

1. Assume there will always be tools that are better than the ones you have now.

2. Assume that events in the world will continue to happen or not happen
regardless of whether you learn about them immediately.

3. Assume that you understand and control an embarrassingly minute percentage of
the universe.

4. Assume that none of this matters if you’re determined to make something you
care about today.

Suggestion: measure the dresses.

Sizes in women's clothing have no objective standards at all (I do so envy men's pants, which come in 34x30 rather than Size 8 Slim Petite), but Kendall Farr opens her well-known book by suggesting that women break out the tape measure anyway. Measure yourself, and then measure anything you're thinking about trying on -- it saves time.
For me, many years ago, and living as I was in the UK at the time, the BBC Micro met those requirements and started me on a long and happy career/life in IT.

I believe this niche is one that the developers of the $35 Raspberry Pi intend to fill. Good luck to them.

Maybe.

I've also seen youngsters thrash around making a hash of a problem simply because they don't understand the tools available, or they don't have a sense of which problems are worth solving and which aren't, or they don't have a proper sense yet of their own limitations in the face of complexity, or they prematurely abstraculate all over a code base.

Convincing them that this shit is harder than it looks is a really hard problem.
Has anyone verified that this is in fact real? It seems like it would be rather easy to fake this.
right. We need to stay with the grain and not express our differing opinions.
Shipping labels is something I would pay a subscription for, as well as early access to newly received clothes. Try as hard as I might to buy beautiful things that should last me a lifetime, I am excited to try this service out. What will be the killer for me is the fit of the clothes. The real killer app that many are waiting for, is the ability to match an item to our figure and a get a real-time preview. I've seen suggestions of this at Siggraph but nothing consumer-ready.
Dependent on the language I would think you could add annotation style based validations to the client side code that would be automatically picked up by the deployment system and hence applied to the server side logic. That said I don't (at least to my knowledge) believe that is possible with javascript without modifying the actual client code to fit an api.

A controllable, smartphone-based car entertainment system.

Any smartphone could be plugged in via a USB-like cable which transfers I/O, audio and power. The car's up/down/left/right "radio" buttons would then control like/dislike/next/previous for Pandora-like apps running on the phone. Throw in another 2 buttons or so for other functions. There would be an open "key-mapping" standard which would be implemented in the OSes which music apps could tap into. There would be a standard set of programmable-per-app buttons (not unlike video game controllers)

Voice is unusable when music is playing and touchscreens are too dangerous. Mobile and digital entertainment technologies move so fast, yet I only change my car twice in 3 decades or so - I don't want to be constrained by what technology was available when I bought it.
I'll tell you where I put my money: with Facebook Ads. By a factor of 400x.

Yes, when you are looking for "cheap red shoes" just right now, Google AdWords is wonderful. But when you are trying to sell a product that the customer doesn't know they want, but you know they do based on who they are, Facebook Ads blows Google AdWords out of the water. Different tools for different usage. It's what TV ads and branding has been all about. Who knows, soon Google may be a niche advertiser similar to late night shopping channels. I'd hate that.

You're assuming that the supply and demand of dresses is balanced, and in particular that any particular dress will always be in demand.

You're right - you can keep a dress forever and it's not on the website. That's not really what I mean by "out of the system". Dresses need to be able to come out of the system because they go out of style, or get too used, and nobody wants them again. If I'm trading dresses and then get stuck with one, in a way it's still "in the system" and clogging it up. I can't participate until I buy back in again.

On the other hand, I already can't really remember why I blamed the virtual currency for this particular problem, so you're right about that, too. This problem exists when you use dollars, too.
I think some men consume clothing this way. I think there are some who use the model of wearing lots of different clothes as well. I would if I could, but for now I stick to a small number of comfortable pants and shirts.
Note: if you write a long response on HN, you'll lose the very people who still have "this."

Digesting long-form prose isn't antithetical to this semi-autistic ability that kids have.

But try to mix it up sometimes.

Powered by NFC. tap here's my resume.
I seriously hate being this guy, but this is taking short-sightedness to a ridiculous level. You guys drifted from one idea to another to another like a windsock. Then you suggested that you decided to pitch an investor about the idea you were "passionate about" that you got from a thread on Reddit, seemingly days before. See the problem here?

The other question I have is why you were so adamant about getting funding. If the idea is so good and people want it so badly, why seek investment? I don't mean this as a dig. I just don't understand why so many people wanting to start businesses work from the assumption that they need to make obtaining funding the end goal, and if they get into an incubator or get some investor money, they win. Nowadays, it seems like building a successful company is a process that is tightly guarded like entrance to an elite university, and if you don't get in, you can't succeed. In reality, there has never been a time as favorable for starting a purely tech-based company than right now. You can do in a few hours of work per week what used to take a team of full-time engineers several months. You don't need to invest in equipment or inventory. And yet, ironically, it seems that the companies that most desperately seek funding (and most often get it) are the companies that least need it.

That said, having advisers is another matter, and I know that having connections in high places is never a bad thing. My point is that I think the process described here, (and in so many articles on Mashable and TechCrunch) unnecessarily discourages people, and prioritizes the unimportant aspects of building a business.
Harvard emails show Zuckerberg's business side
I remember reading a quote once and you will have to forgive me for not remembering who said it but the approximation of it was "all will be known when the scientist looking trough the telescope, see the scientist looking back at him, through the microscope on the other end". I though it was a great quote about the recursiveness about the big questions. That amazing part about it is the relevance of it, we really don't know how big or small we are it is all perspective, for all we know the universe is a singularity in another perspective. If you traveled far enough fast enough and looked back on the universe it would be a singularity, as time and distance are related so you would be looking at the universe pre-big bang or from the perspective of distance however you want to view it.

It helps a litte but not completely. Women may be the same size and measurements, but a completely different shape (men have this problem too, right?) What we need is technology that can 3D scan an item and virtually drape it. Then I can get myself scanned and try on the virtual draping. Only then will I fully be comfortable spending real, non-returnable money on the internet for clothes (shoes and accessories are less of a big deal for fit).
The site will use javascript if you don't have Silverlight installed, so it's not a requirement.

安胎养血
Ha, that's a rather obvious thought that didn't even occur to me. I have a Logitech webcam on my external monitor, too, though, so it wouldn't be a problem. :-)

Maybe if I primarily used a laptop directly, I'd have a different opinion, but having played with alternative input devices (e.g. Bluetooth remote control), I really like having a unified method of muting all my media, and in a familiar form factor. Since holding my hand up seems very natural and familiar to me, I imagine that I'd like this hand-recognition system.
Despite the fact that most people will never be in a position to know, the picture is very misleading because of the different illumination levels. I don't think natural pictures should be enhanced in that way.
When I think of "transparency" I'm thinking more about transparency up front -- before you're a customer. If I can't make an informed decision without spending hours looking through terms and conditions information then I don't think it's "transparent".

Also, I just spent 15 minutes poking through the comcast.com website without finding any mention of a 250GB/month limit. I did a search for "250gb" (it even came up as a suggestion from their search engine) but it told me there were no results for that search query.

Once upon a time in Iran...
This documentary made in 2007 by the crew over at Channel 4 is about the entire ideology behind Iran as a country. We need to have more open views when it comes to who Iran is and why they have the views they do about America and Israel. I know these are topics that no one would like to readily discuss these days, but the fact is that if we are potentially going to go to war with Iran or support Israel in a war with Iran, we need to know who these people are. Personally, Documentary Revolution thinks that it would be a terrible disaster to go to war with Iran, both for America and Israel, this documentary, we feel, does an excellent job at showing you the heart and soul of Iran, you can make your judgements and convictions about its people after that. But don’t just watch the latest speculation news report on Fox news about Iran and take it as absolute fact. That does not do any of us any good what so ever.

Space. I think you can cram a dozen (dozens?) of Raspberries in this box. Small for a PC, but not so small for a Pi.
So you don't try to short cut the laws of physics you fix the weakest links, the biggest one being the longevity of humans. It is realistic to think that given enough time we will be able to replicate organic machines with electro-mechanical ones. Someone somewhere is going to volunteer to upload themselves into one of these machines and we blast them off into space. In the end we always seems to achieve the dreams of the human spirit, 9 times out of 10 they are never the way we envisioned we would. Take flight, early man envisioned wings like a bird and not machines like a plane, but in the end we achieved flight something many people said would never happen, that I am sure of. I think we will achieve intergalactic travel, but it will be nothing like what we envision it to be today, something will come out of left field that will enable it. The challenges are daunting but so was flight at one point in human history.
