The other thing that the article glosses over is that Andrew was actually inside a neighboring building when James called him up to the roof. Right as Andrew got to the roof of that adjacent building, the one he was in 5 minutes earlier flattened when the earthquake struck. James saved his cofounder's life. Literally.
I don't understand why this is downvoted, considering that the bugfixes don't work.

Is what 95% of the code in your app is going to look like and I don't really see what it's buying you. You're also throwing away all the type checking you'd get on essentially the same code in Obj-C.

I really like Ruby but I don't intend to use it for iOS apps.
No, the problem is that they check the decoded query string for `=` signs, but Apache checks the raw query string. If you pass an encoded `=` anywhere in the query string then you can bypass the fix.
I wouldn't hire someone who lied on their resume, as I like to be able to trust people I work with.

> did you just apply the Golden Rule to yourself?

Yes, as an example of how it commonly fails.

Of course I screw up simple things (or are you just being rude?). Sure, the Platinum Rule is harder to implement but that doesn't mean it cannot be a good rule or preferred to the Golden Rule.

The Silver Rule is the negative form of the Golden Rule.

Your whole comment seems ill-conceived.

I can only assume you didn't read up on the technology at all. RubyMotion does not use a Ruby VM, instead it's a static compilation to machine code. So any previous Ruby performance benchmarks are invalid in this instance.

Also, Objective-C is not the slow bit in the example you described. There is a lot of logic overhead in laying out views in Cocoa. While it's true Objective-C (the language) may have some overhead, it's not much. And it's certainly not anything compared to laying out a complex view tree.

Oh, thanks! Did not know that. That's even faster than the workflow in the video. :-)

Someone should do a video like this showing all the native gestures. Maybe there is one but a quick google search doesn't find it for me.
This is a good summary of our confusion. :) Sorry to be a pain about it. Would you agree that I can "purchase" the contents of a suitcase on a gameshow without knowing what they are? Or that I can "purchase" next year's wheat crop from a farm without knowing how large it will be? Or I can "purchase" 100 shares of Facebook stock to be delivered in a year? I think most people would. And this is true even if it turns out that the suitcase is empty, or the wheat crop is a bust, or the stock is worthless -- it's not that I haven't purchased anything, it's that I have purchased nothing.

But the point isn't really the word. The point is that if you're offering a valuable reward on Kickstarter, some backers will think of it as a plain old financial transaction, where they put some money down and they get to have one of whatever you're trying to produce if you succeed. And that's totally fine as far as Kickstarter is concerned. So if it's not how you want people to think of your Kickstarter project, you have to be careful how you position it.
A 1 Bedroom starts at $1600. A 3 bedroom house is ~$3000. 6 figure tax rate is %40 not counting deductions. If you have a family, your rent already takes out over half your 6 figure income. You only live so long, so you need to make some savings too.
Actually, I think this is an interesting lie for a different reason. Look at their no. 1 competitor, Google. They had a PhD in computer science as CEO and now a guy who well on his way to a PhD came up with an algorithm that, as far as I can tell, revolutionized search. Why did this Yahoo guy lie? Maybe he felt pressure to keep up with the Google guys, and thought a modest lie about a B.S. in Comp Sci would do the trick while going undetected. It might be sign of the times--that PhDs and PhD-equivalents are heading large companies. And a funny misread too--their 2nd foremost competitor in search was founded by a dude without a B.S. at all.

Addressing your other points: I feel like a CEO should be aware of how he/she is being perceived and correct any mistakes about his/her record.
Interesting; I has assumed as much from "The new Disqus integrates in a way that is naturally discoverable by Google — out of the box, without any extra work." <- this did not require any changes on the user end?
Many posts mention that he lied on his resume, Dan Loeb's
press release didn't mention that. Did I miss something?

If it turns out -he- lied about his background, or knowingly let it slide, then I agree with all of you. But I'll wait for a response before forming an opinion.

Not all the facts are in yet. CEOs rely on others to prepare documents. It is -possible- that the person at paypal who wrote his bio made a mistake, that someone at yahoo just copied the paypal bio, and that he never noticed the mistake.

It goes without saying that if you've ever met these two, you know they're in a league of their own. They have the same kind of unstoppable, world-be-damned nature that I've seen in the Justin.tv and Airbnb teams, which is inspiring and humbling at the same time. And as Prayag mentioned, they've both extremely nice and down to earth.

They deserve nothing but success - best of luck to both of them.
>When someone says "there is a shortage of oil"

Someone else should immediately retort with "At what price?"

>It's a bit silly to say "there are no shortages! Only cheap consumers!"

It's only silly insofar as shortages result despite the existence of consumers willing to pay market rates; these generally involve state-imposed price ceilings. What is silly is conflating "shortage" with "someone somewhere wants something but isn't willing to pay the market rate".
Should really specify that the revenue listed is for one quarter.

Also worth mentioning that James Breyer does not own 7.632% of Facebook. Accel Partners owns most of that stake, and Breyer has his own personal, smaller stake in Facebook.
I use instapaper. Or Spool, though that already feels too feature-heavy for this simple use case.

The worst part of editing text on iOS is getting the cursor somewhere in the middle of a string. It's just a nightmare to accomplish. Android's solution was to add arrow keys, but
for some reason they felt out of place when typing to me. Love this concept. Hopefully it'll eventually make its way onto handsets.
> But they don't necessarily support a resignation or firing. Thompson's other problem is that he has not made any friends (and for the wrong reasons)(patents, rebuffing Loeb, plan-less layoffs).

In my view (as a Yahoo shareholder and until tomorrow an employee), it's just another distraction that Yahoos don't need. So many great people being sandbagged by issues out their control or knowledge.

Particularly during a time when Thompson really needs to move Yahoo past the "will-they-or-won't-they" period that preceded layoffs by a month, and which still persists a month after the big 're-org' announcement.

Though I guess this is just kind of what happens when you play hardball on this big a stage.

Milken is an interesting case. He literally created the market for high yield ("junk") bonds, and a lot of the charges the feds threw at him were because creating a new market meant breaking stupid regulations about yields and such.

Yeah, this is actually one of the biggest things we wanted to address with the new version: the inconsistency for end-users. Disqus is quite configurable, but it caused a number of barriers that was detrimental for the websites themselves.

Indeed. Inktomi also tried to position themselves as an arms supplier to the CDN business. It didn't help that the CDN business basically disappeared from 2001-2004, and that CDNs, to this day, rarely buy software.
What I love about these lies - if this one in particular is indeed a lie - is it's a textbook exmample of why you don't lie. Everyone fixates now he's a CEO. However, he probably introduced that little "stretch" when he was a relative nobody. So you put it on there, get your first "Snr Manager" job. Then you get promoted to "Director" and someone says "Yeah, give it to Frank. He can talk to the business people and the engineer's because he has a Comp Sci degree - that's right right Frank?" "Yep, that's right" Just keeps snowballing. Fast forward 20 years and you're CEO of a large public company and they're crawling all over you. I think may of the the embellisher's started when they were relatively unknown and it's hard to get off the train.
Maintenance of the Laptop Keyboard
Keyboard is one of the most frequently used parts of the laptops. Although many companies have already taken its durability into consideration, especially making much optimization in its structure, it still has some problems after long time using. For example, maybe some key doesn't work, or the letter is erased.
I usually reject pull requests with no tests. For one, tests often do a better job describing what the pull request is for than the actual description. Also, it's easier if they think through all the corner cases. It's true, it makes a bigger barrier to entry. But on the other hand, it also gives more value to the contributions. But maybe I should rethink my stance...

In the absence of any input or objective field arguments, the API assumes that the final column in a flat file is the objective field, while the rest are input fields. It will also try to determine the appropriate types for all fields.

You can, of course, override any of that if you wish. Check the documentation for more details.

It looks like this person put a lot of thought into how text editing could be improved in iOS, and the video is well-made. However, a great feature of the iOS keyboard is that if you press the wrong key, if your finger is still on the key, you can drag it over to the key you intended to use. Has he taken this into account? It would be pretty frustrating if I made an almost-typo, and instead of inputting the intended character, my cursor moved around.
Sucks for coding, though; not enough RAM or screen space. This

is a much nicer option, especially with an SSD.

As an enthusiastic owner of all three iPad models, I've found that "wanting a keyboard" is a very good sign that whatever you're doing isn't a good fit for the iPad.

With that said, here's an iOS feature that'd be very easy to implement: application-level "passthrough" mode for physical keyboards. Not only would it allow for better "traditional" editors, the fact that iOS doesn't rely on the keyboard for OS-level navigation would make it a perfect vehicle for VNC and RDP clients with "transparent" keyboard support.

I could understand Apple prohibiting the use of such an API for accelerators "merely" to discourage half-assed ports of traditional WIMP apps, but why not allow the use of a physical keyboard as an "IT controller" just as they permit external controllers for games? It's simply unreasonable to insist that developers build a more "touch-based" interface to fundamentally non-touch-based remote systems, and nearly as unreasonable to expect professional programmers to adapt to a "touch-based" UI paradigm for _editing text_. The fact that the Cocoa text edit controls play well with Emacs-style key bindings is, for me at least, a HUGE advantage of OS X, one that'd be very hard to usefully duplicate in Windows.

Ask HN: Interested in porting a game to Android and splitting revenue/IP 50/50?
A few years ago, I wrote a fairly interesting adventure-RPG which received a lot of positive feedback from people I demoed it to and talked about it with, but over time I pretty much forgot about it without ever releasing it. Since then, I've looked back at what I had, and realised that the format would be really well-suited to Android/iOS (more so the former since the code is already in Java).

The code is 95% done (there were a few levels which weren't fully implemented, IIRC), but the game itself is pretty small-scale compared to something like Pokémon, and everything aside from the code is more or less complete.

So, here's what I'll contribute to the project:

* I'll help with the coding and related work, of course, though it will be more of a side thing for me

* I have a private Git server we can use

* The original Java Swing code, including a custom game engine, characters, levels, maps, etc.

* Extremely extensive documentation (this may very well be more useful than the original code for some parts of the game, actually); includes all level specifications, event flow, all dialogue, etc.

* Related video, images, and audio

If anyone cares to see it, this is the intro video I have embedded in the start of the game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0i4i9sz44-k (depending on how professionally the redux wants to take itself, I may be willing to put in some money after the MVP release to remake this and/or properly licence "borrowed" IP).

Regarding funding, if someone does decide to take on this project, we can set up a Kickstarter page, but if that doesn't pan out I suppose we'll have to bootstrap it and keep the first release alpha-quality. Regarding revenue, the obvious options that come to mind are advertising, flat cost, and/or possible in-game purchases.

So, is anyone interested in working on this? Whether you're a professional development team or just a student looking for a summer project, let me know if you'd like more information!
One reason CEOs are well-paid is so that all of the middle managers will strive harder in hopes of having the job someday. Another is that our corporate governance/capital markets aren't that competitive and lousy managers can insulate themselves from market discipline.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with shooting for a massive exit, but I don't think it is reasonable to hate on a multimillion dollar exit.
Thanks.

I've updated the post to specify that revenue was for last quarter.

I'd be curious to see what features this implementation has compared to the existing open source software that does this sort of thing.

The holding the plus button in safari to reopen closed tabs was not intuitive at all and there was no subtle wiggle or other in iPad thing to show that it was even there.

Why not have this be a setting that you can turn on? Or have the two ways to edit text on at the same time? There are two ways to input text right now with the voice recognition and the keyboard so why not two ways to select text?

It can be really difficult to go back to school after being in the workforce - both financially and socially. Two thoughts:

1. Don't take on financial obligations that will make it impossible for you to return to school. With older coworkers, there will inevitably be social pressure around lifestyle - clothes, maybe buying a car, having a better apartment. It's hard to live in a dorm after you've lived like an adult for a while.

2. It's easier to jump into another job than it is to go back to school. After all, you were making good money, right? And isn't the point of school to get a good job? This is dangerous thinking. Understand that this eventually catches up with you, and that it sucks to be the guy in his 30s or 40s who doesn't have a degree and has to make excuses for it.

Pre-fetchers rely on two metrics to determine what to cache - temporal locality, meaning it will cache things that it judges to be frequently accessed, and spatial locality, meaning that when you access something at memory address X, the cache will fill one cache line with the contents of consecutive memory locations i.e X,X+1,X+2,..,X+s.

Hence, they have no capability to understand a structure like a linked list and will not cache it intelligently. All you can rely on is that they will cache arrays and traverse them in a way that efficiently uses the cache.

I don't know anything about Linkedin, but PE can be deceiving and let me explain how.

First, P/E ratio is the Market Cap/Earnings (earnings = profit)

The basic way to get earnings is to subtract all expenses from revenue. (this is an overly simplistic definition, but it is mostly right, almost all the time).

So you have:
Gross Revenue - Expenses = Earnings

What is left out of this simple definition is "operating leverage". Operating leverage is the concept that you have a set of costs that don't move much no matter how much your revenue moves. Most internet companies have a lot of operating leverage.

So lets take a hypothetical company:

Quarter 1: (Revenue) $100m - (Expenses) $99M = (Earnings) $1M ..... All with a market cap of $100m, the P/E would be 100.

Now, if expenses are mostly fixed, (think lots of engineers salaries which have most everything running in macros etc.) and the revenue increases by 5% what is the new PE?

Q2
$105m - $99m = $6m .... all with a market cap of $100m, the new P/E would be about market average of 16.66

--You could do the same example if you drop your long term projections on R&D, or acquisitions or any number of expenses.
