Appreciate your intent.

You are correct on #4. I've heard some stories about hrackers storing piles of cash under the couch [this case was in Ukraine], made from cracking banks/ATMs. Definitely, black activities are much more profitable. But I do not think that [in real life] those that crack get most of the money, with few exceptions. Biggest pile usually goes to those who organize or cover (underworld Board/CEO equivalent).

However, the start-up fever, which started in Russia appr. 1-1.5 years ago, is getting traction, as well as tech industry. This provides more opportunities and better risk/reward ratio and shall result in that more and more people will be moving to bright side.

And yep, the smart brain has no nationality.

Ask HN: Any Android developers want to do a port?
I have a couple kids puzzle games that make a few bucks on iOS. I figure they could do well on Android, but I don't have the time or knowledge to code it up, distribute/promote, maintain, etc.

So I figure I could hook up with an indie Android dev, give them the art assets and code if necessary. It took me a couple weeks to build from scratch, but would probably only take you a week in total since everything is polished and ready.

You would ideally have your own apps out on Android market, and understand how to promote and monetize apps (be they purchases or ads). If you're interested, you can contact me at the email in my profile or leave a message here and I'll mail you.

Thanks
They get ~$2.5 billion from mobile, but that's not just Android, so it's an extreme upper limit.

Innovation experts are only half of the story. To be truly innovative, innovation has to be baked into the culture and ethos of the organization.

I had an amusing moment working at a large pharma client where all of the full-time staff suddenly started filing out of the room in unison. I asked them what was happening, and they said "we have innovation hour!".

Apparently the company had scheduled mass townhall sessions of 100+ people on a quarterly basis where the attendees were suddenly expected to "do innovation!".

The best innovations are often known (only too well) by the staff working at a company, but unless there is a culture where they can easily share them and be recognized for doing so, most of them will never be realized.

>One one hand, down-voting someone because (you think) they're wrong is counterproductive to a healthy discussion, but batista is doing the equivalent of walking into a technical discussion about, let's say, improving Django performance and saying "look, just use Rails, duh!"

That would be "being off topic".

But what I did was being counter-general-HN-sentiment, which is different.

I replied on the same topic, added counter arguments (which few of my commenters did --instead, they kept it on the personal level, Batista this and Batista that, like here)

>- there's nothing insightful about that position (which just seems to mirror normative culture)

So, normative culture has nothing insightful to offer? Hundreds of millions of people beg to differ.

I'd rather say that it's the prevalent position that can be described as de facto normative, and the prevalent position on the thread happens to be the opposite of mine.

So, could a counter-position be insightful? Or is just nodding in agreement and adding another argument in favor of the prevalent thread position insightful?

>There are some statements that are just not worth arguing against and are tangential to the point of distraction.

And, as always, people fail to mention which. Or argue against them, since, as they claim, it's so "easy".

For a drawing app, feel and responsiveness are incredibly critical, with features being a distant second. These qualities are essentially impossible to convey without trying it out.

I feel it's actually more respectful of the user's time to let them figure out whether the app will work for them for free, rather than forcing them to commit to a purchase of something that may not in the end be suitable for their needs.

(insert discussion about being able to return apps for a refund here)

Ubi-Camera: Take Photos With Your Hands
Thoughts on Subscription eCommerce: Curation vs Personalization and More
To be fair, it's the westerner's fault their apps, games and websites don't catch on in the east. Do some research, see what chinese people want, what the usually like, and tailor a version of your product which fits the description.

Don't you think Draw Something would have caught on if it had a chinese version ?

This is also the exact same reasons why chinese products don't really catch on in the west. Their approach is so chinese, with an insane mixture of colors, tons of features (note how the web tends to go Apple-style: all simple) and more often than not bad english, that they're doomed from the start on this market.

This is exactly the reason I am in china right now. To learn what it takes. In my opinion, all companies that care about this market should have offices here, put their pride aside and prepare to change the local face of their product to match the chinese style. Just compare weibo with twitter or fb, baidu with google, etc... It's so obvious what the chinese elements are, you just need to learn to use them.
>The interesting bit for me is that the cost of 'getting things done' has not been going up in pace with the 'money people have' so wealth in the private sector is enabling individuals to do what used to take governments.

This is a very slippery path for us to be taking, however. Do we really want feudal lords to be the only ones with the power to get big things done? I'm not so sure I'm okay with that. It behooves us all to build, and properly support, better government so that we don't slip back into a world where entitled lords govern us.

I'm not saying that sexism is a one-way issue, and I agree that a patriarchal system acts to oppress more than just women. However, I am saying that turning up in a discussion of a particular incident and saying BUT WHAT ABOUT MEEEEEEE is dubious behavior, and smacks of privilege. It also seems to miss the millennia of oppression of women and the ongoing effects from that.

And for the record, I'm not making assumptions because you're just some guy. I'm happy to make assumptions about any privileged person who derails a discussion like this.

I do not see why you think "Exhibit II" on the one hand and "DX-3095" and the "DX-2085" follow the same naming pattern.

To me, the first looks like a marketing name, and the second like one that only makes sense to the manufacturer. I am assuming that the numbers do have meaning here.

Marketing names may or may not be intended to be short-lived. Sometimes, they just become short-lived, either because of how they behave in the market (see: Edsel), of internal politics (a new brand manager steps in; (s)he cannot claim the previous manager did a fine job, so something must change), or due to short-term profit hunting ("device named 'X' sells well! Let's make a low-budget one and sell even more!"-"But we would have to cut quality to make it cheaper"-"Yeah so?")

There also seems to be this notion "if consumers are confused, they will pick a brand at random. The more brands there are, the easier they get confused. I will make lots of brands, so that they will get confused, and pick a random brand. Since I have so many brands, chances are they will pick mine.". That approach leads to short-lived brand names.

As to that DX-3095 naming scheme: chances are that it was taken directly from the manufacturer's internal tracking system. The first digit might indicate the factory or the PCB version, or whatever, the second the quality of the tube, etc. That may or may not give useful information to customers.

> What do Path, Hipstamatic, Highlight, Hipster (yes, that’s an app), and Color have in common? They create absolutely nothing of value.

This is like complaining Jersey Shore adds nothing of value to people's lives. Sure, it doesn't, but it's not supposed to. It's entertainment. Just because people are easily entertained and advertisers will pay for those eyeballs, doesn't mean it's not a financially viable business.

Some apps solve problems and are useful. Some apps entertain (solving a different problem - boredom). Confusing the two purposes leads to posts like these.

(For the record, I completely agree that there are a lot of useless apps out there, but how is that different from there being a ton of useless TV shows, movies and video games out there? If you don't want to contribute to that because you think it's a poor use of time, then don't, but it doesn't mean that there's not a market for it and that there isn't money to be made there).
> _So I don't know what you have to do, pay each developer, hold a $100 million contest for Android tablet apps, reject their apps if they don't also make a tablet version within 6 months - whatever_

One thing they can do is promote good apps, not the way they're currently doing it (e.g. Staff picks, Top developer), but with something like the Apple's approval system, but not to the extreme of "the app is either approved or denied". I was thinking more like the dev can pay a fee to get his app reviewed (UI, performance, ...etc) and when "approved", it gets a symbol (check mark, star, whatever) and put on a category of "approved" apps. This will probably encourage more devs to work more on their apps to get them promoted.

This isn't always true because time isn't the only multiplexing strategy used.

I thought my little sister was tech-literate, but she doesn't give a shit about "Ice Cream Sandwich"... she has customized the hell out of her 2.3 handset and there's nothing that she wants changed.

I'm returning my new iPad this week because 1) My Macbook Air is light and more useful, I have no drawing ability, and I don't read much; the iPad is no more than a toy and waste of money in my ecosystem, and 2) The app store ecosystem is dreadfully boring on iOS. On Android I feel like I'm actually rewarding the good developers by buying their Pro versions of apps and such... on iOS everyone wants your money, regardless of how shitty the product is. On Android, I see so many developers experimenting across so many categories just for the fun of it. 3) High-resolution has hardly benefitted anything that I do on the device. The majority of content that I see (images and video) are low-res. Plus, very few apps that I use have been upgraded to 'retina' quality. ALSO, retina doesn't just mean scaling everything up... why is nobody making their content more detailed? Orthogonal lines don't render that differently in higher resolution.

>Some people come to a sexism discussion like fundies come to an evolution discussion. The point isn't to learn something and perhaps come away with a new view.

Noticed how you equate the issue of sexism with evolution theory?

To imply, of course, that those that happen to disagree about the importance of sexism are NUTS, and that the importance of sexism in keeping women away from IT is as indisputable as a scientific theory.

So much for YOU coming here "to learn something and perhaps come away with a new view".

So, when you say that the ideal is for one to come to a discussion "to learn something and perhaps come away with a new view", you only mean it for those with opposing views.

Because YOUR view is a priori as irrefutable as evolution --your simile--.

>When Batista jumped in with a standard technique for derailing the discussion, I suspected he was not interested in actual discussion.

Let me see.

1) I come in the discussion with an opposing view.

2) You held that I'm akin to someone coming to an evolution discussion with an opposing view --i.e a nutjob arguing against science.

3) I provide several arguments, mention some logical explanations about how things could not be so, etc.

4) Instead of replying in specifics, you resort to ad-hominens. Batista this, and Batista that.

5) Notice how all your message above is devoice of specifics, even on the meta-level of discussing my comments:

= = = = =

"Personally, I'm going with both A and B for Batista."

No mentioning why.

"Some people come to a sexism discussion like fundies come to an evolution discussion. The point isn't to learn something and perhaps come away with a new view. It's to argue until the other people go find something better to do, so that the arguer can feel victorious and avoid having their bubble punctured."

No mention of how that applies to Batista, plus the vulgar comparison of anyone disagreeing with the current topic to someone disagreeing with evolution/science.

"When Batista jumped in with a standard technique for derailing the discussion, I suspected he was not interested in actual discussion."

No mention of what that technique was. Saying something besides what everybody else says?

"From his further replies, I'm sure of it."

Again, no mention of specifics.

"Life's too short to waste time talking with people like that."

Again, no specifics as to what is "that".

= = = = =

And you have the nerve to say that it's me that "I'm not interested in conversation"?

Talk about blame the victim.

You're true on one thing, though: "life's too short to waste time talking with people like that".
I think it's just a point of view as one can be very productive working remotely and another do nothing while being on site.
