Same thing happening here. I have only 23 saved storied, latest is 28 days ago and I sure have clicked alot more stories, also thinking I have saved them for further reading. Also would like to know if its a bug or karma thing.

A couple of things.

- The idea is to release the app on all platforms. So whenever you lose your phone, get a new one or work on different platforms you can just install the app and all your contacts get updated automatically (including a web interface if you need it).

- I talked to many people about the But Facebook and LinkedIn does that already thing. I asked them if they share private contact information like your birthday, current address, or private phone numbers and most don't. This is where the app comes in:

I developed the app with the idea in mind to be able to delete my Facebook account without losing the contact information. The main benefit of the app will be to have an always up to date contact information, because everything else grows from here: organize a party, message a friend I didn't talk to in a long time, or send a postcard as a surprise because you can be shure that your friends added their address to their profile.

- The app focuses on tight security, because nobody likes to make their contact information public.

- The vision is: Instead of having hundreds of half synced contacts (some have only a website link or an old email address after I tried a facebook sync), you can build a contact network that is based on quality information and grows in quality over time with every new contact you add to the network.

Twenty years seems a little optimistic. We don't have ground-based automated factories yet -- not fully automated anyway. And the cost to lift a ground-based factory (or even its parts) to space on tonnage alone would be astronomical. Plus, many things are harder in a vacuum. So you're looking at some significant technological progress before what you're suggesting will be possible.

Let's target rational exuberance.
Thanks for documenting this experience for us to ponder on as well.
Ask HN: I have a question about shady patent trolls
If I'm the first to launch a web site with a new kind of business model, assuming that I didn't get a patent for it, can someone patent that business method afterwards and than sue me later?

Also, could I patent the business method down the road since I was the first one to launch it? Even if other companies copied my idea?
> To "email yourself" implies
> using the same service.

I would take exactly the opposite interpretation. I regularly email stuff to myself, and it's pretty much never on the same service.
It might but there's a couple of reasons that Angels/VCs need not lose too much sleep. Kickstarter only accepts "projects" that have an end point. To be fair, they're perhaps loose in their application of this, but generally speaking, the project needs a finish point. For example, Pebble will ship the core product, a completed watch.

When it comes to software/web apps, there's a less definitive end point. Games seem to get through ok, because they reach a pretty clear release point. "Projects" like Instagram would likely not have made it through as a Kickstarter project, because they're designed to be iterated on. Getting to the "first release" is not generally what Kickstarter accepts... unless you're Diaspora... or anything open source.

Lonely Man
Hi all. I could not follow closely the DCPU-16 movement, and now I am having troubles to put the pieces together; can anybody put together a brief explaination of what is going on? I can see from wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DCPU-16#0x10c that the game developer notch, known for Minecraft, is working on a new game called 0x10^c (why this name?), and this is somehow related to the whole DCPI-16 thing. I can guess that notch is writing an ad-hoc assembler to develop this game, correct? What did he need more than the framework he used in the past? I can also see that there is a channel on freenode called #0x10c-dcpu (8 people as of now) and another called #dcpu16 (8 people too). Can somebody give me the big picture?

It has the ring of a deep truth.

But, Michael Arrington == Casey Kasem. There is an interesting analogy.
Yes and no.

Yes because Kickstarter has a high profile now, and there is rather significant amounts of money flowing through it. Angels and VCs sometimes only put in a few k or a few mil. for a company, and now it seems as though you can just go to kickstarter for that amount.

No because kickstarter isn't for everything. The closer your project is to the ideal of a semi-artistic one-off project with a timeline of months that produces a tangible product that the backers can receive the more likely it is to be approved and funded. But not all businesses fit in that model. More so, that model of venture isn't necessarily the sort of thing that is most attractive to an investor. Kickstarter projects are the sort that scale up slowly and carefully. But a lot of the most desirable investment targets are software companies which provide a service who can scale up by a factor of thousands or millions in a matter of months.

Now, there is still a sizable niche that straddles both worlds (such as game development) and you can expect a lot of interesting things to happen in that space in the near future.

- Accusing green groups of being part of a wide spread CIA backed conspiracy.

The problem may be too much investment in drivers. Modern graphics card drivers are little operating systems unto themselves; they even have built-in compilers. They are incredibly complex, yet written in unsafe languages for maximum performance, with tons of ugly hacks for compatibility.

What we really need is a simplification of graphics APIs so that graphics drivers don't need to be so complex. That may be impossible without convergence in hardware though.
Only the super paranoid would bother using a service like this, and those people would require verifiable encryption on the client side.
Notch's 0x10c[1] is going to be a space exploration/trading game set in the distant future; players will customize and operate their own spaceships. One of its unique features is that the spaceships will be controlled by actual programmable computers; players will be able to write their own software and execute it within the game. DCPU-16 is the architecture for the in-game computers, and lots of people have jumped into developing software and tools for it.

It's pretty amazing how much stuff that the community has generated so rapidly. Lots of emulators, IDEs, compilers, code repositories, original software, ports of classic games, etc., have all reached a surprising level of maturity in only about a month.

Every now and then I look around for ways to write native Android apps with something other than Java, and the only reasonable answer is still Scala.

But its syntax is so ridiculous! What on earth were they thinking?!
Not necessarily, no, I think graphic cards are aware that certain things are text. For example, I have a thinkpad t400 with two graphic cards(ATI and intel), on the ATI the text in consoles is not anti-aliased, but on the intel one it is. So I'm pretty sure that the graphic card(or at least the drivers) are aware of what is text and what is not to some extent
Answering your first question, they can't. Their patent would be rendered invalid since your earlier website would be a "prior art".
Congratulations, this is a very nice app. Finally somebody did more than just an ugly barebones iOS wrapper on top of the API. I just wish I had a similar app for the whole Stack Exchange.

No no no, you have it backwards. It's hard to imagine what a "modern" OS (Windows, Linux, OSX) is actually doing with all those CPU cycles, that it can't do stuff like this even with >10x the compute power.
BTW you misunderstood what I said about creation. I wasn't talking about how creation happened (for example Genesis). I was talking about that there was an active creation by something (God).

I'm not talking about creation of the Earth and animals - I'm talking about creation of existence.
Not knowing a lot of things about encoding (my bad), BOM wasted me a lot of hours of ajax call debugging in a php app.
I think that's going to be one of those things that's "about 20 years from now" for at least the next 50 to 100 years, like AI which automated manufacturing like this probably will depend on.
An oversight on my part. Should now be fixed.
Yes, like a proper VM that we can compile our preferred language to. It is ridiculous that the "language of the web" is something that is forced upon us instead of chosen. The number of languages that compile to JS illustrate the point nicely.

Any use of the word "bubble" in this context irritates me, but I do like that someone set this site up purely for what seems to be purely they're own satisfaction. They've even masked their WHOIS records.
The part about pivoting is interesting. For a musician, changing the genre of the band has to be quite difficult, because an style is likely developed and the soul to the art will have to be changed. I wonder if it's the same for entrepreneurs, who likely have an affinity to a particular field due to passion or expertise. Pivoting, by definition, shouldn't be a complete redo, but I'd imagine it's as hard of a choice for a startup to pivot drastically as it is for a band to change genre.
Having "spent the effort" over and over again, I fully understand why hobbyists don't bother:

The Proper Way on Windows is a largely undocumented minefield strewn with broken glass and lack of a sane package managing system.

I seriously hope that the author was being purposefully ironic/trolling. You can't copyright a word. It would fall well short of the de minimis, even if it was totally made up.

From my experience of doing software development professionally in several flavors of UNIX and Windows systems, I would say Linux is no better as there is seldom a way that works flawlessly across distributions.
This is cool, but I find myself ever more concerned about Google's terms of service. I don't seriously expect them to abuse in the sense that they'd use private documents and photos, etc. But Mockups will just be one more thing for which I'll be a granting Google a permanent "worldwide license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works, communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such content." Legally very difficult to justify going Google.
Automated factories are coming from both ends - continuous production, and custom on-demand stuff. Mines / oil rigs / pencil factories are getting almost entirely automated, because they never have to change what they are doing. 3D printers are becoming automated, for the opposite reason. Being squeezed from both sides, non-automated manufacturing is not here to stay.

I'd be more pessimistic on the grounds that there isn't a huge market for space-based factories. Making the best parts requires heavy machinery (whether or not it's automated), which you can't affordably launch into space.
Came here to say the same thing. Here it is for those who missed it:

Yeah, an opcode is something totally different -- it's a name for a type of instruction (e.g, "mov" or "ret").
There's nostalgia for the era when hackers completely understood a machine architecture, and worked by manually writing machine code.

Notch released an invented machine architecture - 0x10c. Many people who'd been thinking about these things (for romance, or 'cos they've written similar systems for uni assignments) have thrown energy at the specification. Hence, even though we only have a vague idea of what Notch is working on, there's a stack of VMs and related tooling for this invented architecture he's defined.

I'm excited about it. I was thinking about how I could create devices and arrange memory to talk to them on my walk in this morning.
If Project Glass or its competing initiatives ever turn into a usable reality, perhaps we don't have to make the tradeoff between experiencing and documenting. (Even if it might be strange to wear those to your wedding.)

Please remember that you brought the distinction between wages and other forms of financial benefit into the discussion, not me. All I'm saying is that someone skilled in a useful trade can make a decent living without being pushed down the academic route. Of course those who go into business for themselves will have to risk more but can achieve higher returns; that's true in almost any industry. And of course there are snake oil salesmen offering worthless "training" or "credentials"; that's true in almost any industry as well. But high incomes for freelance tradesmen aren't the myth you claim them to be; multiple people who've done work on my home within the past couple of years are an existence proof of well-compensated tradesmen, and others were quoting similar rates.

As for fluid intelligence, perhaps things do change at different times for different people, but I don't think I'm going to set aside the general expectation that smart kids will do better if they are challenged at school based on one study of about 30 kids where a few of them moved significantly in one direction or the other between the ages of 14 and 18. I don't see why the two hypotheses are incompatible anyway.

I can't remember the last time I struggled building something on a random distribution that worked on another. What are you doing that you run into incompatibilities across modern Linux distributions?

It's certainly better than: "use VS" or "suffer through any other sort of Windows dev" in my opinion.
It is actually very regular. There are a few rules:

a.b(c) = a b c

( <expr> ) = { <expr> }

<id>: is right associative.

That's about it. Once you know these you can decode just about any Scala program.

[Update: formatting]
Yeah, I'm mostly worrying about what happens if some of these million-dollar projects fail horribly. Especially if some HOT GADGET turns out to be a scam and they just vanish with the funds. Games, I don't think that's a possibility - you have to have a giant reputation to raise the money to make one happen.

I'm also pretty hopeful this is just paranoia talking, and that folks quickly realize they need to do a sanity check. Maybe Kickstarter will end up with a tighter TOS and will send lawyers after a huge scam if one happens, I dunno.

While people are definitely paying for my own personal awesomeness rather than Kickstarter's awesomeness, I think the fact that people know and somewhat trust the model and te middleman is helping. Break the trust and it doesn't work.

Some specific category. In general, the best we know how to do is a square-root speed up, which would only be applicable here if the number of possible solutions were 10^160.

(Specific categories do appear to have marvelous exponential speed-ups, such as factoring.)
Do you mean the macros specifically, or Scala in general?
I don't fully agree with that either though. Like you say, nothing is black and white, but on balance I'll take dedication over passion.
Yeah, I think "genius" is a romantic notion which is meant to be mysterious. (That is, a genius has a mysterious superhero quality, and you're not really supposed to understand what's going on, unless you too are a genius. Personally, I think it has to do with intellectuals' desire to spread mysticism about the nature of their work.)

Worth reading: (http://terrytao.wordpress.com/career-advice/does-one-have-to...)

I mean, there is no end of literature by highly skilled people who offer general opinions on how to do a good job. Noam Chomsky, Rich Hickey, Jerry Lettvin, George Polya, Bertrand Russell, and Terence Tao are common examples. (Well, Chomsky is a bit different in that he shies away from individual advice, believing in diversity and improved societies, but if you look closely, he does offer advice like, maybe paraphrasing a little, "Allow yourself to be confused.") But I suppose "Ideas on doing a Good Job" doesn't poke at people's desires for validation as much as "How to be a Genius."

Some of the most effective lectures I had at university were where the lecturer handed out notes covering the bulk of what was being covered in each lecture but then proceeded to talk around the notes providing context and working through examples - so not taking basically became an annotation, rather than a transcription, process.
Orbital factories do not need AI; the relevant cost is the transportation of manufactured goods, a cost alleviated by remote controlled manufacturing.
From briefly skimming the abstract, it appears to be analogous to a hard-wired circuit built to execute a specific calculation. i.e. It is not a programmable quantum computer. This is similar to the sort of thing D-Wave has been doing, although likely for a different purpose.

The speed-up figure is plausible, but only for the specific single algorithm this quantum circuit implements.

The third is the only that's tangentially related to the development pains we're discussing here. Packaging is a "fun" issue, but it's apples and oranges with multiple compatibility layers to get to a common denominator to be able to ... build a DCPU toolchain for example.
