Thanks for the suggestions - we absolutely will be doing. Though I didn't apply to Y-Combinator because I thought the idea needed validation, or because I needed the money, I applied for two main reasons:

1. I feel the programme represents the best possible start for the company, the buzz of being around so many super smart people with a constant focus on delivery would help make it a success.

2. The programme would provide a framework for the transition we need to make from a corporate job to startup world. No matter what anyone tells you, it's extremely difficult to give a startup enough attention when you're doing it "on-the-side" of a big four corporate job due to the sheer number of hours (let alone the regulations). It's also very hard to leave a six-figure tax-free salary at 27 under current economic conditions without a framework for a transition.

I recognise that 2. is a complete excuse regardless of its merits. Given that I don't want to be sitting around at 70 wondering why I never did what I truly wanted to, I now have a lot of thinking to do about where to take this - i.e. take the plunge and self fund; minimise workload to bare minimum to find some time to work on the side; find a startup in Silicon Valley to join to move in the right direction.
Heh. Though the link goes to a Tumblr page. Fandalism is running fine. ;-D
This is our Berlin Wall.

It is all loosey-goosey at the moment but this law could evolve to "The IRS _thinks_ you might owe money so you cannot leave the country."

It is bad news.
Drop me a line.. your users could come in handy.
the econ turns instantly horrible when you live in, say, South Korea and find out that you may owe a fortune to the IRS, just because your dad was /is a US citizen.
Doesn't that lead to inconsistencies in style when you use external libraries though?
Yes, it also almost caused a crash on the Eurofighter because the display pilot knew he could operate at a more aggressive envelope than the system would let him. I'd still wager it has saved more situations than it has caused, and even if it hasn't - surely that just means the software has to get better?

I go regularly to Asia and the Middle East. There the younger generation is dropping the passport. It used to be that the parents would fly to the USA to have a kid born. Now those kids see the passport as a net liability, not an asset.

Otherwise I don't see a pattern. Family ties to another country, sure. Been living abroad for 20 years, sure.
Being Canadian, this strikes close to home. It seems like the crackdown was directed mostly at the rich to target tax evasion, but it has had the ~1 million American citizens in Canada trembling. Many of these people have not lived in the States at any point in their life (often born into dual citizenship), and all of a sudden they're being threatened with penalties for not filing taxes in the U.S.

My last impression from the U.S. Ambassador was that there would be reasonable reprieve for dual U.S.-Canadian citizens. Has that happened?
Another annoyance: with the latest batch of reporting regulations for accounts of US citizens, many foreign banks won't let US citizens open up investment accounts since it's not worth it to them to deal with the reporting. (Presumably they make exceptions for large accounts, but e.g. in Germany, where I live, most online brokerages don't allow such.)

I use Make because it's fast, simple, always available, and bash has autocompletion for it, so I can type "make t<TAB>" to run my tests, for instance (or "make <TAB>" so see what commands I have available). I use make in my python projects for things like running tests, coverage, building the documentation (sphinx) and removing .pyc files.

For deployment I use fabric, but I have Make targets for the most used commands (again, it's nice to have completion). For example, these are two targets to deploy to my server and to my test machine:

server-deploy:
fab -f deployment/fabfile.py prod deploy

test-deploy:
fab -f deployment/fabfile.py test deploy

I use either pytest or nosetests to run my tests, mainly to have better and colored output.

I don't think you can use virtualenv(wrapper) without bash, but you can use use it with M-x ansi-term. But I got tired of trying to config emacs to run Python the way I wanted and now I edit my code an emacs and run the code in IPython in the terminal. Ipython's autoreload [0] is a huge help.

Demystifying JSCrush: Reverse engineering a js1k entry
Thank you for writing this down. I think the same. Keep hacking :-)
I've been to one of the LOCOG[1] briefings for (potential) suppliers a few years ago. The rules and regulations were absolutely ridiculous. One of the most memorable images shown to us was that of a shop window featuring (amongst a host of other items) several disconnected rings. The presenter then proudly announced that this sort of thing was not permitted unless you were one of the official sponsors and that the shop in question had been punished for their transgressions.

Things got worse from there. Strictly no branding of any non-sponsors allowed anywhere, which meant no attribution of any kind (so you couldn't use the popular Silk icons on your website for example), not even in the URL (can't end in .aspx because that reflects a certain brand). Of course you also can't use or link to external websites (such as YouTube) so you'd effectively have to build your own video sharing service if you wanted to build something where people shared and uploaded video clips.

If you look over the official website with this in mind, you can see the hoops (no pun intended) the builders had to jump through everywhere. For example, the map (http://www.london2012.com/map.php) is entirely custom built and has no name in the copyright notice (it's only show when clicked). Or the aforementioned build-your-own video sharing service (http://www.london2012.com/videos/). Frankly I'm surprised there's a Server header in the HTTP response.

I think there's a lot of truth in the criticisms but is the harsh tone really needed? Seems to me as though they're trying out small design changes, listening to feedback (as evidenced in this page) and improving things as they go along. Sounds like a good recipe to me.
No reprieve yet and it appears that the IRS still wants to take 25% of your RRSP if you didn't file the right price of paper with the IRS. I'm meeting with the IRS in Washington on May 7 to propose an easy remedial system. We shall see.

But yeah. The IRS went hunting for whales and caught minnows.
I was about to suggest the "Bands in Town" API, linking to upcoming concerts based on the "influences" section on each page, but it looks like they're about to discontinue it.

In that vein though, maybe let users link to recordings they have available on Amazon? use your affiliate ID and then pass on half of the revenue to each user if they reach a certain threshold?

Sadly, I think getting acquired (perhaps Guitar Center?) may get you more money than years of counting the pennies ever will.
Over-achievement also fits into the clueless tier. The clueless can't get rich or into upper management except by accident, but they can have successful careers as long as the psychopath upper tier sees them as useful.

In the GP corporate hierarchy, the losers tend to do the minimum required to keep their jobs. If they start making stuff work beyond their immediate job responsibilities, that's not classic loser behavior.

At one point in that series of essays, the author talks about behaviors of the psychopath. In a startup environment, the psychopath puts in a lot of effort and gets things done because that's the fastest path to getting the company off the ground.
Thanks, tagawa. We're taking all the feedback here and making changes (some now, in fact!).

"Quality research is quality research - regardless of the results it garners."

Not true. Research with a negative outcome is less valuable. It creates less knowledge, because there are many more negative statements you can say about how things work than positive statements. Negative statements are more trivial than "vital."

Failed research projects are a combination of bad luck and bad planning, and you can't separate out these components. Even if more failed projects are published (further stressing the peer-review system), nobody's going to get a job based on a failed experiment.

And what evidence do you have that this is a problem? Or that this is more of a problem than before? Even if so, "a massive re-haul on the way we treat research" is not the solution; better networking would be enough to avoid duplicated efforts.
Hosting on Amazon. I am pretty sure he could run the site from two or three USD 100/month servers easily, even though its written in ColdFusion.
Moody's along with S&P and the other ratings scam-artists are, in this case, just adding formality to what was already known - Nokia had a big red target painted on it as soon as Android gained any popularity.

What's surprising is the complete and utter inability for Nokia to respond. The death knell, at least for me, was hearing Elop set fire to the existing Symbian property and supply lines... equivalent to detonating your own ammo/fuel dump while being sieged - lots of flash and bang, but no future.
Good points ... that's a silver lining, too =)
Hi Phil,

It's very common in Australia for a founder to hold shares in their startup through a discretionary trust. What happens if the startup converts to a Delaware corporation and the founder moves to San Francisco, becoming a US person for income tax purposes?

Now they indirectly own shares in a US corporation via a foreign trust and I understand the IRS would tax an eventual acquisition extremely unfavorably. Does this mean that Australians in a similar position (like me!) need to forgo the benefits of using a trust and just hold the shares directly?
Sounds like the classic large corporate environment to me.

You know the saying "The Internet interprets censorship as damage and routes around it"? Substitute the US tax system for internet.

Our politicians and bureaucrats do not understand that it is a very big world. We risk declaring ourselves irrelevant. A large chunk of the world may simply shrug and say "meh who needs you." Exhibit A: China loosened its currency today. You KNOW they are going to pimp it as a reserve currency preferable to the USD.
I'll add that I gave up on Codeacademy a few weeks back because every time I visited the site from my email, it had a new design/format on the courses page. I got bored of figuring it out again each time, and the fact my Facebook Connect login never seemed to keep my progress from last time.

It's a hard situation, because they clearly are improving the site and adding features to the courses (tracks etc.) that are welcome - perhaps CodeAcademy need to work on communicating what has changed to the users. For example, when I signed up it was really just one exercise after another, now it has tracks/courses/games/lessons. Maybe it is just a wording problem?

The reporting requirements are seriously going to be what gets me to renounce. The limit they set -- $10,000 -- is absurdly low, and, honestly, since all of my income and all of my savings are made and held outside of the US, I don't see how it's any of the IRS's goddamned business in the first place.

Unfortunately, the accelerating returns of technology (particularly in computers) means there's limits to imparting specific technical knowledge to the next generation. But some things change more slowly that can be: human nature, emotions, communication, competitive advantage, mathematics, and general problem-solving techniques.

Is there any evidence to the below the fold mantra working on GitHub as well? IMHO, looking at a bunch of folders doesn't tell me anything, so at the very least you have to scroll down and read the README if you have any interest in a project .

In fact, if people were to standardize their repo's folder structure to match a template, that would tell me even less about the project. Seems counterproductive to me.
Would love to hear your feedback - this is the first major redesign we've done of the Courses page and not much has changed before now. We'd love to take your thoughts into consideration as we redesign it.

We'll also do a better job of fixing wording and explaining what's going on. Thanks again.

Oh Christ.

You have bought a $10,000 tax return. That's all I can tell you.

The mind boggles in a few directions. Migrating assets and corporations across borders is scary. You are now the creator and beneficiary of a foreign trust. Oh. Your superannuation is a foreign trust.

See. THIS is an example of why the US tax system is broken. Not because of the tax rate. Because of the rules. The folly and arrogance of a rules-based system. A logic system built like sediment builds up on the bottom of a lake. If sediment buildup involved corruption in the form of lobbyists.
Would it be too cheesy or abusive to have showdowns? Puppyshowdown.com came up yesterday or the day before and had a good interface. What if you had musicians pick one or two of their songs to be used in head to head, this or that, contests. You could have a showdown each month then release a compilation album using the winning tracks. Revenue from the album would be shared with the musicians, you could get a small cut, and it would be a cool way for people to discover new music that has been filtered by their peers. This won't make a ton of money but it could be one little piece of the puzzle down the road.

There was a piece on NPR a few weeks ago about a classical music company that is doing very well releasing targeted albums on iTunes. They find out what people are searching for then compile their albums and choose relevant keyworded album titles. You could use your giant musician base to pump out indie albums to iTunes and other digital music catalogs. The albums could also be crowdsorted. You research and pick an album topic and title then set up a contest, the users crowdsort relevant tracks, you compile and release the digital album.

I don't know how you want to interact with other platforms but you could push updates to FB and the like "I just voted for X to be included on the upcoming album Y via Fandalism"

You could also make an app out of this functionality and people could listen to tracks and vote head to head or even just thumbs up or thumbs down pandora style. Everyone who was listening and voting would be sorting music for you.

I like to find new music but it takes a ton of effort to sort through totally unknown artists. Make it social and fun and empower sorters to contribute to a project (the albums).

"Help build the next great indie album @Fandalism"

Sorry for rambling but you just went from a music sharing site to an independent music label in 5 minutes.

Finally the Coporate Culprit has been Identified
Finally the Corporate culprit has been convicted and slammed to pay one Billion Dollars to Oracle. You might have known that the one of the World fastest growing company and trying to rule the entire web, always trying to steal others ideas and earning lot of money by simply telling that we love to serve the World. The company name is Google. They have been identified that they have steal the Java platform from Oracle and created the mobile OS in the name of Android platform without giving any royalty to the appropriate concern. As somebody may know what Steve had said.. "I'll ready to spend my last penny of my lifetime earning to prove that they have steal many of our patents".. This is not only for Google. Apple has filed almost 30 cases against Samsung too. Sumsung is also the one yet to be line up in this queue..

The time may come by near future for those who enjoying Android and its applications to pay more. Because Google they know how to earn money from the people. I am sure that they are very smart enough to raise the money from its users to pay back the one Billion Dollars fine. Be aware of Google products atleast from now on..

Ofcourse there are services from Google that are very useful for the Internet World. However, they should give the proper credit for using third party inventions while using or implementing their technology. This what I feel personally.

Thank you
For someone very vocal and direct about one specific designer's work, there seems to be a very obvious lack of work, a portfolio or a link to a Dribbble profile on his own site.

As a designer myself, I'm always down for critiques and feedback (especially when it's a tough pill to swallow — this is what keeps me improving), but Michal, your post was overly critical and not constructive in any way. You mentioned your youth and ambition — being a designer is all about communication, whether in creating a product for your users, in pitching clients, in explaining functionality to an engineer, etc., and in my opinion, this is not the way to communicate with someone regarding their work, designer or not. Best of luck in learning this.

Edit: here's an example of someone doing something similar in the right way: http://kyrobeshay.com.

The author is really making the most of this. Sure, Its not the greatest redesign I've ever seen, but is it the worst? No. far from it. And his own redesign is not exactly an earth shattering improvement - some relatively minor tweaks (which work at this resolution well, but perhaps not others) only.

I think this is the best idea so far. It's clear that the ethos of the site is about musicians supporting and learning from each other. At this scale, voluntary contributions would easily make the thing self-sustaining, and it would help keep the focus on the community.
Is it though? I'd argue that (in my value system) Bill Gates is doing something far more boring, but far more beneficial to the world - he's curing diseases. Not sci-fi diseases, old boring ones that have existed since the dawn of humanity.

The difficulty of a task doesn't seem to correlate well with its "worth" to society - however one wants to define it.

This is why I'm not going to automatically place Musk over Zuck, because fundamentally I don't see space exploration as "better for mankind" than, say, curing diseases, revolutionizing education, or changing how people socialize. Hell, where I am in my life right now, something that helps normal, every-day people on the ground is worth more than a techno-wizardry that, while difficult and monumentally expensive, provides few benefits to the everyman.
