There's a lot of problems: software engineers that come out of university are generally much less skilled than from comparable American or European universities, the culture and government policy discourages start-ups, most programmers speak very little English, workforce mobility is extremely low... many companies hire only fresh graduates through a tedious process that begins one year before graduation, and don't even hire experienced people.

Japanese companies usually suck at software. The emphasis has always been on the hardware -- one of the most obvious examples is the cellphones, which have always had extremely good hardware but very poor software and almost no applications to speak of. My 3-year-old phone has an 8MP camera, infrared transmission, TV, and I can use it as a train ticket, but the browser is so bad I can't even use Reddit's mobile version and it can't render HN comment pages with more than 100 or so comments.

Youtube and Facebook are not Japanese companies, after all. The local equivalents, Mixi and Niconico, are Japanese-only and have zero interest in internalization. Some companies like Rakuten are trying to reach overseas, but it's not an easy fight...
We've got nearly the same problem in Dallas. For decades the development has moved further north into the Ex-burbs and bedroom communities.

The interesting component is how the development gets financed in a Ponzi-esque scheme. Suburbs are built out with municipal bonds, which subsidize the build outs of services (schools, police, fire stations, roads) while keeping property taxes low. Once the suburb is completely built out, the taxes double or triple to pay back the bonds. Then the next suburb just north or south of it is built with more new bonds and the cycle continues.
Judges and juries decide that.

You suggest that CFAA cases, along with SOPA and PIPA, are evidence of a DoJ that wants to sieze control of the open Internet.

I'm saying that what the DoJ wants with the CFAA is a clear "technicality" statute they can use to simplify charging fraud cases (like this one, which appears to be just straight up fraud).

This isn't a "tomato tomahto" distinction.
I like to think about this "find a technical cofounder" stuff by imagining myself, a highly technical person who's entire work experience being on the computer - dropping everything to start a bakery.

Would my expectation be that I could find a great baker to work with me for free or half-salary? Or that I could learn to bake well enough to keep up with the competition out the gate? No - chances are I'd either have to shell out good money to hire a skilled baker who actually knew what they were doing (and probably fail a lot regardless based on my total lack of knowledge in selling bread) and/or spend a few years producing deformed loaves of bread by myself before this plan would work.

So for the non-technical founder to start a technology company without the money to hire experienced technologists I think its completely unreasonable to expect anything less
Please try it and report back.
Interesting. It seems our views are similar on some aspects of this and divergent in others. I agree with you that the cell-based referencing system that treats every individual datum independently is too low-level and can lead to arbitrary spaghetti. (Boy do I know that spaghetti. I have been doing battle with that spaghetti. Or more precisely, with the computational model that you correctly describe as allowing for spaghetti.) There is clearly a need to express operations at a higher level: on vectors of data, let's say, rather than arbitrarily cell-by-cell. On the other hand, the grid layout and cell referencing system are the essence of the spreadsheet. If you mess with it very much, you forfeit the familiarity of spreadsheet users and run the risk of forfeiting what makes spreadsheets so accessible and popular in the first place. So I see the challenge less as "how to come up with a more structured UI that maps to a more coherent dataflow model" (where by "coherent" we mean literally, "let related data cohere together") and more as "how to generalize existing spreadsheet language into something that allows for coherence and exploits it where possible". Although spreadsheet language allows spaghetti, most spreadsheets do lay out their data and calcs in a coherent fashion. It's just that the system fails to recognize it.

Once one achieves "coherent dataflow", there might be a case for adding some features into spreadsheets at the application level that allow for declaring and visualizing more structure. But I think it's a mistake to start with that - or at least risky, because spreadsheet users like spreadsheets and there is no guarantee they will like anything else. (There's a reason why it's always programmers who come up with ideas for "fixing" the spreadsheet UI. You gave yourself away with the Haskell reference :)) The approach I'm advocating is risky too, though, since it's not obvious that there is any coherent generalization to be had out of the spreadsheet data model.

The reason why I can't be "absolute" about it is because in Calc (and Excel the last time I used it), to extend a computation over a vector, you highlight the computation and then [...] resize it into an area parallel to the input vectors

Yes, but in your example the computation that you extended this way had an identical number in every cell. (That is, by extending it, you were copying a formula guaranteed to evaluate to the same number in every cell of the column.) If that's correct, why copy that number at all? Why not just keep it in one cell and have everyone reference it from there? Is it that you wanted it to be visually nearby in every row? I'm probably just missing something about your example.

That sounds suspicious. mean(v) should be associated with the column v in a clear way.

But the solution is to make it very easy for you to lay out your data and calculations in the way you find clear. It is certainly not to force every user to lay out their data and calculations that way.

How about this, I never lead a line with an infix operator, ever, and every other language I use does not require semicolons. Why would it be a bad thing to just pay attention to lines leading with (? Because js is the exception, it actually takes more brain power for me to remember it on every line then when I am leading with (, especially without a compiler complaining at me.

Would you admit that at least for me its a YMMV type of thing?

This seems to be the case especially with the Rails community. I'm glad I'm not the only one that notice.

I've met developers in many of the other communities (if you can call it that), and I generally don't get along with the people that use Rails.

Many are arrogant and close-minded. I'm not sure why these types of people are attracted to the Rails language.

I've also noticed lots of English majors/writers/non-developers that love to use Rails.

For me, this hasn't been the case for things like Python, PHP, or any other language.
jQuery bit was originally intended to make it compatible with require.js loading; chetan51, Groxx - thanks for pointing it out. We removed that bit but we missed the dependancy, removed now thanks to chetan51
This is great! I love how it aligns with the Django templating system as well =) Although I do agree that this might be better off a something that is framework independent. A while ago I posted an example on Forrst of how you might write a simple and pure-js shorten function: https://forrst.com/posts/JavaScript_Shorten_Function-1up
What? No. You just get another host somewhere (free amazon micro EC2, etc...) and point your DNS to that via your registrar. The only thing that can prevent mail service with longer than ~24 hours latency is a seizure of the domain.
Stripe is unique in the fact that it sends it all through an ajax call directly to the stripe servers and returns a token for you to use for re-charging, bill cancelling, etc.

There are really two different app markets. The first involves apps which are themselves a source of revenue. The second involves free apps which are part of some larger business plan. Apple will continue to dominate the former category, at least in the neat future, but Android's massive user base will make it a first consideration in the latter.

The headline is agitprop. The Yen has increased in value against the US dollar greatly in the past decade, yet Japan still manages to manufacture and export. It's defending the myth that currency devaluation is required to have a positive balance of trade.
None of the tables have a column for Android, which, I guess, means that the author only looked at Apps available in the Android market and checked if other version of the App was also available. I think that it would have made for a fairer comparison if the author had also looked at Apps available from iPhone/BB/Win but not for Android.
Absolutely. For the customer's pocketbook, Wal-Mart and Amazon are definitely a win. The problem is the whole ecosystem can lose, even when the customer wins. We often act as the customer is the end all/be all of the transaction and that if the customer is happy, it must be a great company. Of course that ignores the company's employees and everyone else affected by the success or failure of that business.

And I'm not proposing a boycott of Wal-Mart or Amazon, but I do believe it's to everyone's benefit to think of the whole ecosystem.

For xerographic (and other chemical process) prints, what you say is probably true. For relief printing (think Gutenberg), this convention seems reasonable, though you'd have to grind, not scratch, away the extra number. I don't know enough book history to say whether this convention is old enough to have started from relief printing, but that's the only way it makes sense to me.

This sort of thing has certainly been the case with the quota-free peering agreements here in Australia in the past. Do Comcast provide for unmetered traffic in their accounting tools? If so it should be relatively easy to test.

The OP really doesn't sound that suspicious really, not really worth the title. If a service provider serves popular content locally via their own client to reduce the hit on their external links what's the problem? Is there some commercial advantage they're gaining from it other than not having that bandwidth eaten up?

If this becomes legal, wouldn't kickstarter instantly be the kickstarter of startups?
The idea that online is riskier than offline is a joke (competitive yes, but because there is less risk to online). It's easier now than ever before to start a business, fail, then pivot, pivot, pivot (who even heard of companies pivoting in the 80's). If offline is so easy why isn't hacker news all about opening up a competitor to Wal-Mart? I assume by that comment you probably have never started an offline business.

You read what you wanted to read in that statement, not what I meant. What I meant was: big online companies are vulnerable in a way big offline companies are not. Of course I am not suggesting that Mom and Pop small business is easy. It's not, it's incredibly hard. That's one of the reasons why big offline companies are able to destroy the markets they move in to.

It's no mistake that just a week or so ago pg was asking for applications to YC to disrupt Amazon. pg doesn't fund things he doesn't think have a chance of winning.

Open specs controlled by one company are only kind of open, especially when they can iterate the spec faster than smaller competitors can keep up. Here's a doomsday scenario with WebM. Google 1) updates the spec, 2) releases a new version of Chrome, and 3) transcodes all the videos on Youtube to the new format. The question becomes, can Google accomplish those three things faster than Apple/Microsoft/Mozilla can release updated browsers? The spec is open, even the source is open, so all you have to do is recompile and push an update to all your users whenever Google says so if you don't want them to see the "Your browser is obsolete" warning message.

> people who don't make money don't eat

this is very true - and it's a completely absurd relic of a time when only a tiny fraction of a civilization's resources could be used for anything other than agriculture.

most of our economic systems were developed to deal with scarcity that no longer exists - to insist that people must work if they are to be allowed to eat is just as silly as insisting that people must work if they are to be allowed to breathe.
I find it somewhat ironic that the same people who denounce the recent Instagram investment as an insider deal for a few priviledged people in the know tend to be the same people who oppose the democratization of angel investing.
Yeah, it's kind of unfortunate how AngularJS seems to get mentioned relatively little when it's been evaluated by various bloggers and preferred over Backbone, Knockout, Ember, etc. It's certainly one of the frameworks I'd like to see succeed in the JS space, given its great engineering and capabilities.

Personally I'm waiting for 1.0.0 and redone documentation to come out, and then I'll dive into it.

Great, I'll provide instructions to users of my app on how to initiate this (IIRC) manual process that requires them to navigate a maze of FB privacy pages, confirm via email that yes, they do actually want their data, and then they can wait for the request to be processed by FB. Then they get emailed a zip file full of multiple files with everything they've ever done. Hardly the same as APIs that allow you to export the things you want, on-demand, in a documented format, seamlessly into alternative applications.
What's the law you think Facebook would be violating by sharing potentially PII-encumbered data with another service provider incident to anything they could claim was a legitimate investigation?

In other words: in the world we're in now, pre-CISPA, what's the specific legal risk you think is preventing Facebook from sharing data?

It's certainly not the ECPA! The ECPA, like I've pointed out repeatedly, specifically carves out an exception for service providers sharing information, and makes no mention of anonymizing that data (ironically, it's CISPA that brings anonymization into the picture).

You yourself make a not-invalid point, that ECPA doesn't prohibit sharing but also doesn't shield providers from claims under other laws. I agree that if CISPA is worth keeping, the language around immunity should be tightened --- oh wait, it just was in the latest draft! --- but again:

For CISPA's sharing immunity to be a meaningful threat, you'd have to cite some statute that could reasonably threaten (again, say) Facebook for sharing information during an investigation.

Finally, I know it's annoying that I keep saying this, but: providers already share information about attacks, and it's not all anonymized or particularly carefully targeted. I have firsthand knowledge of what they used to do a few years ago, and understand that sharing has only increased since then.

Yeah, there's already startups waiting in the wings, which is interesting given that it'll be a solid year or more before regulations are formed around this. All we have now is an enabling act. As can be imagined, it takes time for regulatory agencies to iron out all of the details to put a body of regulations in place.

I'm most interested in how they deal with the rights of these investors. Will they be able to demand to inspect books of startups they invested in? Will they have voting rights?

It could get dicey, especially with unsophisticated investors.
Everyone has already mentioned the basics. What I would suggest that check whether he or she can read some existing code and understand it and how quickly then can do it. I just hate it when someone asks me give KT (knowledge transfer) of some project to another team and ask me to take them through code rather than high level design. I mean if you can't read someone else code and get the intent/design out of it how you are supposed to write good code yourself.
Google: Facebook and Apple threaten Internet freedom
They've said they're not interested in doing it, which is kind of surprising.
I'm curious why you think that they don't have innovators who are willing to take risks or do things in a non-traditional way. Saying that something is "baked in" to a culture has never stopped people from challenging the status quo. As their economy falters, I feel that they will have more people who will be willing to innovate.

In short, I'd not write them off because of perceived cultural mores. It's more than likely that your view is either wrong, or misjudged.

That's the issue, the sender should be doing the heavy lifting (serving the file or at least delegating it) what I propose it more of a seamless imbed/download link on files over a certain size. This could be implemented in email apps using services like iCloud, Dropbox, YouSend it etc.. I know that plugins can be added to certain email apps to accomplish this however that is going down the same path that Netscape did with the browser back in the day and is only now being corrected. Seamless is the goal I should not have to upload/copy/paste It should just be able to take a normal attachment and decide how to handle it based on size etc..

It's a reasonably sensible point being made when I expected the title to mean I was about to be subjected to yet another rant about editors.
