'Don't break the internet': How an idiot's slogan stole your privacy...
Hi,

I am impressed by the number of apps you already have.
Don't you think that development will be slowed down by the fact you will have to update all these apps for each change?

How do you plan to handle this challenge? (I run a time management product and I have this dilemma)
Kickstarter has a sort of vaguely worded scope that indicates they're interested in funding art and other "creative" projects, but not normal products. Some tech clearly falls into the creative/artsy category, but some of the tech projects on Kickstarter are veering closer towards "just" funding a consumer electronics product.

Search is a popular internet service, of which Google is the primary, and for most people, only entry point. Unlike other internet services, such as Usenet or the web or email, there's a single actor that controls the vast majority of search. What's more, this actor will arbitrarily stop listing legitimate websites without explanation, they maintain little to no customer service force to deal with the cases where they mess up, and they seem to not care whatsoever.
>But they only have one way to find information on the internet

That isn't remotely true. There are dozens of alternatives; Google's simply better. That said, the difference in quality is not so pronounced as it used to be.
And most people won't. Using semicolons means things are less likely to break when other people use your code.
I think you may be confused about the term "peer review", as the study referred to in the OP article certainly underwent peer review in the process of being published in Nature Genetics.

There are many other compiled languages besides C++.

Here is a small list of languages with known native compiler implementations, that you could eventually use:

- Pascal (Actually all implementation have some extended form)
- Modula-2
- Modula-3
- Oberon
- Component Pascal
- Ada
- C
- Objective-C
- C++
- Ocaml
- Haskell
- D
- Go
- Fortran
- Lisp
- Scheme

It's so easy to blame others for our failures. If Google's unable to capitalize on their social strategy with G+, they better get back to the drawing board and stop blaming companies that simply have a different business model than theirs.

I don't understand your comment. There were lots of PC demos in the late 80's.

I am currently organizing the Barcelona Ruby Conference, and have attended many other conferences in Europe. I know a lot of people put much effort in doing things right. But that's not the majority of the community, unfortunately. I also agree that the Pareto principle (and many other points raised in my post) are a universal problem, not just Ruby's.

I did provide constructive advice. If you read the post thoroughly, you can see a call to improve our learning manners, stay away from hot trends, and even a simple pattern you can use in your day to day to compare technologies, or to understand better some debates (like threads-processes-reactors).

Why are we are focusing consistently on a short-term solution to what seems like a larger issue? I personally don't see a quick fix to all of this, and it seems to me that the real solution is more holistic than we seem to be pushing for.

In every one of these that gets to a couple hundred comments, we end up with two big groups that appear: "bros" that are "just having fun" and y'all need to "lighten up", or some stereotype of a misogynistic engineer that hates women because women consistently slighted the character throughout his life. In the first case, you have to fight a subculture that commoditizes women; in the second, you have to fight years of maladaptive behavior, and negative feedback from a cycle of sexual and social ostracization, where their defense became vilification.

Both of those cases are going to be really tough to change in the short-term. In the best case scenario we'll get a few to see the light, but when there are emotional ties to this type of behavior there is a lot of cognitive dissonance that has to be cut through before any change is truly realized. In the tougher cases all we will actually do for the present generation is bury sexist sentiment into a back channel somewhere, which doesn't help the end cause.

Yes, let's lead by example, but let's also try to start at the origin and get things sorted out before such discriminatory practices can get deeply rooted. Go talk to some college engineering teams. Let's get more women involved in the things that these guys are doing, and give them equal opportunity to show their abilities; the culture is often more meritocratic than not. Take it one step further if you have kids, and teach them that gender roles are just as bad as racism. The bros will realize that their actions are slowly being obsolesced, and the shunned will be proportionally less so. It takes work from both ends and we are really only ever pushing one angle hard.

Oh please. He even misrepresented his own view.

"I wasn't attacking anyone, I was only letting everybody know they've been told"

The constructive bit of information was "hey cool this uses a lot of the concepts SmallTalk used in the 80s, great to see it getting some traction" instead of "I told you so!".
I'm really proud that so far no one has argued about any point I make in the article, but rather about the "cancer" reference and the swearing at the end. I guess that means I happened to write a pretty damn good article.
Codecademy courses are fairly easy compare to those of Coursera or Udacity. There's a huge difference between giving someone a badge because he has made something trivial and trying to teach this person real CS concepts. For those who really want to learn something Udacity is way better than Codecademy.
This is not (only) a rational argument, but a call to action, and that requires an appeal to emotion.

> Consumer electronics are among the most well-funded projects on Kickstarter, (...) which (...) means that consumer electronics as a market has been ripe for disruption all along

So true. Kickstarter is Wordpress for gadgets; anyone with an idea and some talent and experience can make something without first needing to get pre-approved by some self-appointed authority.

I think anywhere where someone says "you can't do that" is ripe for this kind of disruption. So what's next?
Yes! I'm so glad I wasn't the first person so say this - a complete misunderstanding of the scale of the solar system is one of my greatest pet peeves.

Imagine a perfect scale model of the universe where the sun is 4.3 feet in diameter (a foot longer than a meter stick). How big and how far away do you imagine earth to be?

Nobody can intuitively come close to the right answer because there's absolutely no attempt at any level of general education for conveying the scale of things in this realm. The correct answer is precisely 0.476 inches, a little smaller than a dime, and 465 feet away, about two football fields.

This simulation - while cool - at times depicts Jupiter as being twice as big as the sun, but at this scale it would be 5.332 inches in diameter (about the size of a cantaloupe).

At the very least, I'd sleep much better if his "scale" toggle was off by default.
Hi HN,

I can totally relate to the part about an article coming out about you where they didn't even bother to contact you.

That used to happen at reddit all the time! I'd see an article about reddit and think, "You know, all you had to do was read our blog if you wanted this to be even remotely accurate!".

In a nutshell, the Three T's - technology, traction, and/or team.

You have a new technology that is difficult to implement even with a really good team.

Your product already has strong and growing traction among a market or demographic.

You have a committed team of A+ people already doing customer development, product validation, prototyping, iterating, etc. Not easy.

Hi, new to this board, but founded Paymate in Oz, so have some insights. Besides NAB, CBA also processes credit card payments in foreign currencies (and settles in that currency). Neither bank is keen to sign up small merchants, which may be the hurdle faced by startups. Happy to help out with the banks if you have a reasonable volume to process.

If you are setting up a US business and that is where the customers are, then it may be worthwhile to set up a US company and get US merchant facilities. I did this with Wells Fargo and Chase so have some idea of process.

Best!

How could you make closed-source javascript plugins ?
AOL predates the modern commercial internet. Heck, the first HTTP spec came out 8 or so years after the company started and in the same year they named themselves America Online. Picking on them for not grokking the internet is a bit facile for my liking.
Got two emails and comments to the same effect. Not sure why this is such a common problem among sources that are recognized/respected in the tech world. I'd think once a reporter makes this mistake twice, their career is finished, but that doesn't seem to be the case at all.

The flip side is if you speed to much... you risk losing your drivers license. Caparthia could have terminated them as clients.
Not to sure if anyone has mentioned this yet. If you run light table as client(browser)/server model, then effectively your sever could run in a cloud and your session would be reachable from any browser no matter where and what computer or smart phone/tablet you are on.

With things like ClojureScript and Meteor, this is very achievable today and a definite game changer. Exiting times we live in.

PC Repair and Maintenance, Now Your Cup of Tea 
Let’s start with basically ‘what you need’ for PC help and maintenance. Forget if you have the perception that it will push you to buy lots of expensive diagnostic hardware and software tools to fix computer.
I'm fine with some problems being generational but there's no indication that the next generation is necessarily more enlightened than the previous. I really don't want to have to wait two generations.
It would be nice if you could add comments. For example, I believe that "crowdsourced audio guide for tourists" already exists and was going to add a comment to indicate that (not to say one couldn't create a competitor), but I couldn't.
> So your example for something that could replace Amazon... is Amazon?

Yes! ;-) The example was used to refute the fact that authors are technically incompetent. In the next generation most people will be able to put together an ebook.

I think the threat to Amazon will come first from best-selling authors, who already have a faithful following of their own. For everybody else, Amazon is great, for now.

But imagine a future where a search engine can help you find great ebooks, and where a simple payment system can let you buy them directly from authors (charging 2-3% to authors) -- why would you need Amazon then?
It's because there's a lot of talk about something that in the end I highly doubt will be fixed anytime soon.

Well that (it not being fixed anytime soon) is a big problem.

a lot of this discrimination appears generational and likely won't be solved shortly by this method of self-correction.

Actually, the evidence is otherwise. For example, in the linked post:

Traditionally, high tech has been dominated by young Caucasian and Asian males (go back another 20 years, and it was just Caucasian males). Like many other parts of society, entrepreneurship has become more inclusive.

Additionally, the "typical" YCombinator startup is full of young people (who often are male). The "it's the old generation" argument doesn't stack up, and the "wait for them to die" solution is unacceptable.

It's hard to see how either of these groups are easily changed by blog posts, "awareness" of the issue, or even pure coercion.

Actually, it does seem to work. Find me an example of a startup that acted in a sexist way and continued that behaviour after it was highlighted.

The truth is that awareness is one of the things that has been shown to work, and even if there are additional things that can help additional awareness is not a bad thing.
Working on it as we speak! Which would you prefer - Facebook comments, or a system where you need to login?
On what grounds? For buying to much hosting services, perhaps?
He is right. If enough people speak up, and interrupt sexism when and where it happens, people will change. Their values might not change right away, but behaviors will change.

If flashing pictures of bikini-clad women starts to consistently bring negative attention, people will stop doing it. I am happy to see this meme (talking about sexism, and what people can do about it) continue.
Younger generations are often more malleable than older ones. There is a reason why many cultures have a proverb similar to the "old dog, new tricks".

I'm not saying that there's nothing we can do now, but the kind of change you're looking for isn't likely to just happen overnight because you don't feel like waiting for it. These things have lots of momentum and emotion behind them.
I'm having trouble imagining your examples. The first one sounds like you did something like

fn([1,2,]
[3,4])

(but presumably longer) and a comma first would fix that (though so would believing jshint or using a debugger :), but a leading semicolon obviously couldn't be used there. I can't picture the second problem, though, at least not in a way that a trailing semicolon wouldn't have fixed.

On the topic of interaction with other developers, this:

> I don't understand why people get so upset about how I write programs

is unfortunate and is probably the biggest problem in this thread (and the previous one). At this point, I've accepted that some people like comma and semicolon first, and if that's the style of a project I'm contributing to, I'll say "this is really dumb" to myself and then write it in that style anyway. It's correct Javascript, and I think plenty of projects are stupidly designed, or inscrutably written, but at some point you suck it up or go elsewhere. It's just a style.

However, there are some red flags in your post that you should think about if you're interested in some dialogue. This is based just on this one post, and I don't think we've ever actually met, so I don't want to go too far here, but statements like

> I realized that there was some essential human weirdness involved here, and it became much too interesting to drop

> Every time I ask people to please not lie about JavaScript to newcomers

> What's wrong with just not lying? I don't get it at all.

> I just ask that they not fill newcomers' heads with lies and fud. I still don't understand it.

sound like pretty classic trolling for the response you're getting. I'm a firm believer in being precise when explaining topics (especially to newcomers), but there's a difference between trying to correct people that are saying incorrect things and trying to provoke a reaction out of them.

(To his credit, Crockford is actually good about saying "this is valid javascript, but it's a developer anti-pattern" and then explaining why he thinks so. I just disagree with about 25% of his anti-patterns and, of course, he's usually kind of a jerk about them)
You can't simply name Google a walled garden and expect the moniker to reflect reality. Android apps can be acquired anywhere, and most Google services allow you to export your data. Compare that to needing to jailbreak an iPhone to download an app Apple doesn't like, or the complete inability to get your data from facebook.

Google might not be FSF open, but it's far better than those it criticizes.

They could charge a lot more if they did the same effect to Her Majesty on the reverse side. You know, just lighting up the bones.
Sounds familiar, except for the part where your employer changed the words.

This offer also came with verbal assurances that it was just a formality so I should just sign it.

I offered them two potential solutions. I had my lawyer modify their docs so they'd be acceptable to me, and I also offered my own docs which are specifically drawn up to be just about as even-handed as legal documents can get (I sign regularly as both buyer and seller), but they didn't find either of the options satisfactory.

I'm somewhat disappointed that it didn't work out, because the work was very well suited to my background and the other team members seemed great; but if that's how management treated me while trying to convince me to join their team, god only knows how they would've treated me down the road.

After that fell apart, I wound up with a new primary client who was much more reasonable. They passed me lousy docs, and I asked if we could use my docs instead. After a reasonably quick review from their legal counsel and some minor tweaks, we were off to the races.
Darlene Mayes, 73-Year-Old, Sold Pot And Had Illegal Guns In Oklahoma, Cops Say
People are misunderstanding; it's time for an edit.

What I'm trying to get at is that awareness alone is not going to solve this issue, and we are very narrowly focused on this "Be aware!" thing. You're not going to self-correct big things like this; in a lot of cases you might truly correct it but you will just as much bury the sentiment in others who truly believe these types of things.

EDIT: Also, I don't understand how the quote you referenced is evidence otherwise, but perhaps we're miscommunicating. Rewrote my post in hopes of being a little clearer.
Monkey see, monkey read
I'm not picking on them; I'm saying their approach to the Internet was similar to Apple's, and the antithesis of Google's.

Also, while they may have predated the web (not Internet), they still acted in direct opposition to it.
Why is it that most comments here are about ways to fool a policeman and avoid a speeding ticket ? I was expecting more advices on reducing your speed and driving safely.
Despite everyone else seemingly being on the opposite side here, I agree with Brin.

Google allow you basic functionality over your own data with them, such as the freedom to migrate to other services, which Facebook and Apple restrict (and profit from).

And he is right that when companies horde user information and then control access to it (for profit) rather than provide it freely, it stifles innovation [though Google themselves do a little of this too].

I'm sure that Google could be doing a lot more to screw everybody's personal information for profit if they chose to, but they dont because they have at least some respect for the common user (though they are not perfect either).

Also, as a side issue, the original (guardian) article is very poor in the sense that the journalist imposes their own narrative on top of what Brin is saying.

For me, there's a difference between a boat (like a small sailing boat used by, let's say, 4 to 10 people) and a ship meassured in thousands of tons.

Good interview anyway. What I liked was the interviewees remarks on failure safe and failure tolerant, it's the later one you want. And no sound engineer will tell you absolute statements like this.

Whats also interessting after the Titanic sinking where the changes to the operating procedures they made. The sad thing is that seemingly a lot of engineers (and designers of whatever technical device) still have a hard time to think of the overall system instead of thinking in devices. The Space Shuttle programm is only one of the more prominent examples.
