For my part, I don't know as much about this as some people, but my wife teaches philanthropy at Stanford and has studied, written about, and taught the topic of effective giving for her whole career, so that works out nicely for me.

Some people like to bookmark sites they frequent like gmail/facebook/etc, but I prefer just navigating to them normally. Still seems faster than bookmarking and I don't waste browser chrome on icons/bookmark text.

If I had any concern, it's that the surveys are used as a means to access premium content. This may or may not effect the quality of answers.

You could use a note taking webapp. I use Evernote quote a bit. However, I find myself making notes of different ideas, different categories, when sometimes I just want to add an idea to a list, like you can with my webapp. For other simple not-taking webapps, if you use it for just writing down ideas, it's fine. However, I usually use note-taking webapps for.... taking notes. When I put an idea on the list, it's immediately an idea among "non-ideas". ideaBin is just for writing down your ideas.

> They continue to chase and that's good but Photoshop isn't staying still. By the time they get moved over to GEGL Photoshop will probably be on CS6 which is a whole new, improved interface.

So what? GIMP is still an extremely powerful tool. I used to be a Photoshop proponent but once you realize how GIMP can easily be extended and tweaked it's a fantastic program. Its interface is not that horrible, by the way. First, it's better to use keyboard shortcuts for several tools, and second it's not because it's different from Photoshop it's necessarily bad. You need to work in a different way using GIMP, but you can get results just as good.

Hey Marc, speaking of giving 2.0, do you think there's some value in making it easier for companies to promote positive initiatives like this? Or do you think the action is more of a means in itself?

For example, if a16z said "Hey users of instagram (or users of a16z product that just sold), we're going to let you decide which cause some of this money goes to," would that create a delta in value from the original proposition?

Sorry, we did not intend to draw that distinction. I described this in detail in another comment, but we made a commitment of half of lifetime earnings/wealth/whatever you want to call it from venture capital to nonprofits, over our lifetimes. So there's no presumption that each year we give half, as opposed to at some later date.

"Declaration of process" might not be the best title for it, then. I don't know if you're the one who submitted it to HN under that headline, but it advertises pretty much the opposite of what was delivered.

Not that I think there's much that can be usefully said about process, but a headline like "Declaration of process" is pretty ballsy in a time when people are (like me) generally disenchanted with talk about process, so I was prepared to be challenged and surprised, not treated to a list of unobjectionable-without-context quotes.

Not to nitpick, because I agree, but I think it's a more accurate to say "litigation doesn't work like that" or "lawyers don't work like that". I was under the impression that it's less a specific law which spells out the liability, but rather a patchwork of regulation and court cases that leave a company with so much uncertainty that the only intelligent choice is to cover your ass any-which-way that you can.

My impression (and it is merely that) comes from today's earlier discussion on liability, regulations and compliance: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3889512

The idea is to fake the UX without storing anything permanently. Generate a temporary ID to store data to while the user is playing with the site. If they've added ideas they want to save permanently, overwrite the temporary ID with the new user ID. Storing the data only matters if they sign up. I'm a programming noob myself, but I think this should work. If I'm dead wrong, it should only take a couple minutes for me to be corrected ;-)

I'm not an expert (and don't want to comment on any particular company or product), but it's an intriguing idea. I think Marc Benioff was an early innovator in this area. It will be interesting to see what new ideas entrepreneurs -- or their investors -- come up with along these lines.

I saw people discussing this earlier on Twitter and I agree that the Dropbox TOS sounds better than the Google one.

My problem is that Dropbox does everything that is highlighted in this post as a reason not to use Google Drive. If anything, the Dropbox TOS reduces clarity by "hiding" that they do these things.

> use, host, store, reproduce

Well yeah, that's what the service is designed to do. Dropbox does all of those things.

> modify, create derivative works

Something as simple as creating a thumbnail of a JPEG is modifying/deriving your files. Dropbox most certainly does that.

> communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute

Again, this allows them to show you your data in multiple ways that exist now or may exist in the future. Again, Dropbox does all of these things too.

I honestly think that Google should have added "We will never sell, give away or allow partners to access your files without permission" to the top of their new TOS. It would clear all of this nonsense up.
Yeap, I'll have to agree with Karunamon bellow :

How is this better than a normalized cosine similarity? The vector being arbitrary, but in this case being a normalized value on quality and rewatchability.

Cosine similarity would also let you express pairwise similarity as a single normalized value, instead of a 9-way comparison.

This looks like their YouTube license. I think they need to amend it specifically for Google Drive.

I seriously doubt this is anything more than a stupid omission on their part. They'll fix it and won't be doing anything notorious with your data.

Though Google.. I'd appreciate if you didn't "publicly perform" my google docs. kthx
I prefer Dropbox because it's better integrated on the Mac — it doesn't break Quick Look, for instance.
Thanks for the link, I'm not sure about using it to replace bookmarks but I'll definitely be using it for those tasks where I need a few tabs open. I do wish it had a menu to select saved sessions rather than opening a new tab, though.
The drive up to Eureka may not even hurt your chances at coming up with one of those key insights if you've been working a lot. Sometimes breaks are good, and as others have pointed out looking at opportunity cost in terms of billable contract hours is deeply flawed.

It should also be pointed out that you probably shouldn't bother with the startup if all you care about is money and the expected value is exactly the same as predictable contract work. If it's worthwhile then either the payout should be significantly higher or there should be some reasons other than money at play that are again going to influence calculations.
I understand now... I don't think I would go that detailed as they have, though. I think I could achieve something similar with a demo made with Javascript on the landing page, no?

Felt like a bit of a google+ ghost town vibe though. On the follow friends screen it looked like a ton of my friends were on socialcam but on the feed it's just the same 2 people posting, and not that frequently.

There are the celebs on there though..

pretty well and also exaggerating usership in the way the poster above describes
Like I said, I'm no lawyer—so I'm sure that the Dropbox TOS is probably quite similar from a legal point of view, however it's the apparent intent that they go to the trouble of attempting to convey that makes the difference to me.

Selective quoting. The very next sentence says:

You like that they're hiding that they're claiming the exact same rights over your data?

It sounds like you're just finding an intellectual justification to support a predetermination that Google must be doing bad things with your data -- even though they're doing the same thing.
It's scary that we are seeing how quickly the market is moving in this space.

First they competed for feature parity and there was bloodshed.

Then they went tried to woo us with their usability and we were in awe.

In the end price was all that was left and they scorched everything in their path.

I will not stick to dropbox just because of some general and broad legal mumbo-jumbo. The truth is, both services are identical in terms of their intention to hosting your files. However, I cancelled my account today with dropbox for three reasons:

1) 5gb over 3gb I had at dropbox
2) Integration with gmail - you have to admit, this is awesome
3) Integration with google docs. I don't use excel or word anymore. I use google spreadsheets and docs. Now that ALL my stuff is in google drive, I no longer have to separate office-styled documents from pictures, videos and other files. All of them in one place is just amazing.

There's no doubt dropbox was innovative, but since I'm every day on google/gmail/docs - there's no reason for me to use/login to another service.

how do they keep people from filling in bogus answers just to get through the survey?
So frustrating to see people are not learning from the past that these legalese phrases are NEVER as bad as they sound.

It seems this never gets old, does it? How often has this phrasing caused issues - and then when it's clarified it turns out it's just paranoid legalese giving them the right to show you your content to yourself on a public internet terminal etc.

I can recall these "Oh no! Read the terms!" articles for at least Dropbox, Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest, maybe for others. Each time it turns out to be harmless.

Seriously - do you REALLY think Google a) wants the rights to publicly perform your MP3s or display your pictures and b) even if they did, that they're stupid enough to think this wouldn't cause an outrage.

well, real uplinks are charged on the 95th percentile, mostly. (sometimes capped, and Cogent does 90th percentile)

I'm signing a deal (if all goes well) tomorrow for $0.65 per MB/sec. 5 gigabit commit on a 10GB port, ($1.15/megabit overage charge, billed on the 90th percentile.) From Cogent, probably the cheapest provider that claims 'tier 1' status (there's a lot of argument about Cogent's "tier 1" status... which is kind of funny; If you only have one provider, a good tier 2 is going to be more reliable than a tier 1 anyhow.) but it is a real uplink and I really can use 5 gigabits of that.

If you ran one megabit full out for a month, assuming 2,629,743 seconds in a month and assuming seagate gigabytes, divide by 8 and you get 328717 megabytes. so, uh, yeah, two dollars a terabyte? assuming they are larger than I am, and their BGP mix is the low-end stuff (Cogent and HE.net or the like) they aren't losing money.
I think 'a' and 'p' are the only ones among those you'd actually want. I could probably live with with those limitations.
Also there is UbuntuOne. Also 5GB. I love it and have been using it for a while. Granted I only use it between Ubuntu machines and then access stuff online via the Web interface. Also integrated pretty well with the file browser.
You're right, I did zero in on a few lines there, but I also don't like the idea of anybody using my content to promote their services or to develop new services based on what I upload. Operating their services? No problem there.
The Verge did a piece about privacy policies: http://www.theverge.com/2012/4/25/2973849/google-drive-terms...

Not very conclusive but Nilay highlighted the fact that while Dropbox's terms seem friendlier, in legalese, it's perhaps has more leeway.Also, he mentions that Google's unified policy means that they have to be extra verbose/careful about this. For example, if I can attach large documents from my Google drive while e-mailing from my Gmail account (basically not have to upload it from the local system), I'll consider that to be an interesting value addition; but that'll require me to give Google the right to move files between their servers, maybe compress it etc. This is a hypothetical example.

I trust Google as much as I trust Dropbox (which is to say that I'm cautious) and I expect Google to refine their offering as well as their policy over time.
Not totally accurate. There isn't much uncertainty in the law, but rather whether you broke it. Plaintiff has the burden of proof. And while there may not be a specific statute spelling out liability, case law has equal wait in the US.

Here is an example. This is a common 3 part test used to decide whether a manufacturer is liable for failure to warn:

1. Manufacturer had actual knowledge of the alleged danger

2. Manufacturer had no reason to know that consumers would know of this danger.

3. Manufacturer failed to exercise reasonable care to inform customers of the danger.
I think this will be why Google Drive ends up taking over this space. The ease of integration is what made dropbox so great in the first place. Now Google is taking integration a step further.
I inspire to be like you when I am older, great work :)
CPAP can be dangerous actually. First if the power goes out the person can suffocate. The masks have small holes in them for this reason (basically a permanent leak).

A MUCH MUCH more dangerous hazard is re-breathing. In a properly designed machine if it fails (power outage or mechanical) it will have a strong resistance to air flow - this lets the small holes take over.

But if air flow is not blocked then the person will breath the same air over and over in the tube (the same air will flow back and forth) and will eventually asphyxiate.

Another hazard is if the pressure goes up too high, this can cause injuries.

The fact that you are not even aware of these hazards is probably a good reason not to try building one. And there may be more hazards I have not thought of.
I'm not defending the legal field in its entirety, but your opinion would change if you or your loved one were harmed or killed.
CISPA provides those paths, but, crucially important, it allows each private company the freedom to decide whether to walk down the path, and how far. tptacek's analysis is clear-eyed and accurate; the goal of the Obama administration is to make participation mandatory for certain companies.

Actually, not to be cynical, but the first step is to realize that your first ten ideas are probably going to be crap, and save yourself the time of even trying market research on them.
Quizlet was originally for myself and then for my friends in school. It wasn't even a real business for over a year. I never did any market research or surveys. I just built features I wanted and features my friends wanted, and it turned out to be a thing that a whole lot of other people happened to want. Quizlet has grown 100% through word-of-mouth since it started.

Not saying those things aren't useful, but nothing beats being your own customer. Since I'm not a student anymore and still work on Quizlet full-time, it's super important for me and the whole team to have exposure to our users' experience and mindset. So to hack it, we started a Spanish class at the office so we'd have to use the product. We've also been going on field-trips to various middle- and high-school classrooms around the bay area about once a week.
Failure to warn is only one component of liability. There is design defect, manufacturing defect, negligence, and so on.

"It's complicated" is very accurate.
