This is awesome! You should add track lists and scrubbing without having to download the entire set.

Remind me of the days when I used to work on Mugasha. My main problem was that it was a pain for me to find good stuff to listen to while listening.

Check out bunch of old essential mixes on there.
http://mugasha.com/essential-mix

So I built Mugasha and solved that problem. You can listen to a ton of essential mixes on there and other sets. Including track lists and scrubbing ahead.

What's really sad is that I don't work on Mugasha anymore and I have the exact same problem again.

- I cant easily listen to new DJ sets like I used to.

- I have to resort to listening to Itunes podcasts again and have NO idea what I am listening (track list problem)

- Maybe I can find a new owner for Mugasha so I don't have these problems anymore.
Yup. 10k is not within the limit. This is also a very easy win in small claims, it should be settled in a few months max.
Could trackback or pingback satisfy the need? Or there are additional requirements I am missing?
The two events in this case aren't linked like your plumber events are. A disaster in the course of doing the job the bonus was promised for is substantially different.

This case is more like the plumber rear-ending you on the highway in a freakishly coincidental accident, then you refusing to pay him the bonus after he finishes on time because you're still upset that he screwed up your car.

As much as I love this idea, I'm skeptical it would work for everyone. Personally, I'd feel pretty antsy knowing that outside my door is a tropical paradise. It would give me too much 'perspective', and inevitably force me to close my laptop and carpe diem.
Great share, thanks!
I'd love to know how often false positives occur when blacklisting sites, and how website owners can go about appealing.
Oh, I see. I missed that. I suspect they wouldn't turn over the credit card information. Yes, that would be a big problem for the new buyer.

Right! There's probably a lot of markets where there's talented people but no overheating economy. Until last year, I was living in Portland, and they've got some amazing hackers, but only a handful of funded startups.
"no schemas" means "schema in the application layer". sometimes its nice for the additional flexibility, but its never as reliable.

Why would people even hate Richard Stallman, anyway?

It's perfectly OK to attack his ideologies but I don't see why you'd hate him personally as if he's some villain that is hurting people in some way or another. The guy is merely advocating his ideals. He's not enforcing them. He's not dominating any markets and enforcing his ideologies on people. He's not profiting of his ideologies. He doesn't even enjoy any power. If you don't like him, you can easily ignore him. You won't be affected.
I see this as costing the blogger more than the $10K, in the long run.
I love the pithy delivery and I think the money raising part has merit, but on conferences..

Consider if filmmakers were advised not to go to film festivals or authors were advised not to go to book festivals until they're noteworthy enough to get invited. I'm not sure that would be a winning approach for most.

What do you mean? Re-reading the post, Square always responded by the next business day. There was no "days" wait here. The only confusion was the OP tried to make it sound worse by saying "over 24 hours", but all that means is Square emailed him in the morning on one day, and on the afternoon on the next day.

This part is also weird. He received a reply dated April 20th. He then says "the next morning" he received another email about the withdrawn funds, and he replied. Except his reply is dated the 24th. I have no idea what to think about this. Deliberate misrepresentation of facts?

A bit later on we do finally see a multi-day gap in Square's responses, where he emailed them on the 25th and Square replied on the 30th. However, Jason's email didn't actually contain any questions or actionable statements, only complaints and accusations of "thinly veiled threats". So I don't see the response gap here as being significant.
This is simply a precautionary tale; if you don't mind being treated this way, by all means continue using Square.

I didn't, and I was unable to resolve the situation by working with Square, so I shared my experience, warts and all, with others in the hope that others can learn from my experience.

Could I have been more eloquent and professional? Certainly. But this is something I was dealing with in my "spare" time, (and for the record, as donated time and a favor to a nonprofit). If this was a business venture it would have been handled much differently, but I don't think Square is exclusively for serious business use (at least that's not what I get from their marketing).

So please feel free to criticize my actions; had I ran across a similar story myself before I found myself in this situation, it might have turned out better, so I feel it is worth taking a few shots if it helps someone else down the road.

Keep on hackin'

False positives are extremely rare- every website is reviewed by a human being before being added. The bigger issue (which was addressed a bit in the post) is when we have to block something that isn't meant to be malicious, such as a hacked site. Obviously people want to be delisted as quickly as possible.

When a website is cleaned up we'll typically notice that ourselves, but if not there's a place on our forums dedicated to false positives and our support team knows how to handle the requests. When a website is genuinely clean it's generally delisted in the next update, which is often within a couple of hours.
Irrelevant, and completely inappropriate for you to ask. The article writer disclosed that something bad happened for which he is to blame, which is a good thing ethically. He has no duty to tell a complete stranger what happened. Not only that, if he does then he may disclose confidential information.

Bottom line: don't answer this question.

I'm confident in saying it's a cultural issue. Probably more to do with "poor" than "black".

Anecdotally I know this to be true. I live near a major urban high school in Denver. It's an interesting school as the surrounding neighborhoods have been undergoing rapid gentrification. The student population is half upper-middle class and the other half traditionally poor. It's pretty easy to pick out which group is which based on clothing, habits, and (sadly) ethnicity.

On any given day you'll see dozens and dozens of kids from the poorer demographics skipping class and getting into trouble. The bus into Downtown is filled with these kids literally blowing-off their education.

Talking to teachers at the school reveals what you'd expect. The cultural bias against education among the poorer students means most of those students do really poorly. The kids from more wealthy backgrounds take the same classes, with the same teachers, and use the same curriculum. They actually tend to do quite well.

Point being: I don't think the education system is broken at all. I think we have MAJOR cultural issues at play that heavily bias certain demographics from achieving in school.

I have absolutely no idea how you fix that.
That RFC was the first thing that came to mind for me...

some folks will read ".secure" as ".pwn-this-i-dare-you" and it will happen eventually unless you air-gap any ".secure" machine from the "real" web. This idea is about as effective as the evil bit RFC imho, just less funny.
What are the solutions?
Sure, the extra liquidity is nice for people who hold shares. But, at the same time, the IPO is clearly not a big deal to Zuckerberg, as evidenced by 1. the fact that they've waited until now, and, yes, 2. by the hoodie.

What's the percentage of firms with >500 investors that don't IPO?

I wonder if increasing the number of investors past 500 is more about using equity as a recruiting/retention tool than it is about cash.
Lawyer-up. Get paid. Don't get screwed.

I say this as a founder many times over. An agreement is an agreement. I've had to do things like put salaries on credit cards and mortgage my house to make payroll during bad times. I don't appreciate business owners that behave as you described.

The data loss event you mentioned has no relevance here. Yes, you fucked-up. And you own that. Lesson learned. The $10K was not conditional to you being a perfect employee, it only required you to bring someone in that would stay for at least six months. That, you did.
I'm not sure I understand. Moving from obvious ads to "editorial mentions of products" and "references to products and services within content" is supposed to be an improvement of some sort? To me those seem like just about the sleaziest kind of advertising there is.
I think this is a great idea. I've come up with this problem in the past not being a technical person myself. Especially when vetting out new hires early on. In the past I've worked in organizations that have their own internal testing but those are often baselined against the person who originally wrote them. The great thing with your service is that you could also, once you've gained traction, normalize the data and create "the" benchmark to score testers. You can even splice by geographic region, etc. You could go further once you establish your service as the "industry" standard allow programmers themselves self-test and post (show off) their scores on resumes, linkedin, github, etc. in effect quantifying their qualifications. Could even explore a partnership with CodeAcademy downstream. What you need to do now is get some validation, a way to say your tests are sufficient and/or above average. Then you need to go to market and drive awareness, lots of outlets to seed this. I'd be happy to bounce some ideas with you. Would you mind checking out my app too? www.whisper.me thanks
So he was wrong because he had a too narrow view of the problem. I live in China, overpopulation means something here but even then any plane trip over any part of the world will show you, if washe weather allows, that humanity is not the cancer some describe.there is still plenty of room.

I just responded to someone else making the same claim up above (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3956896), but no they didn't. They always responded the next day.

> * They claimed to provide support they could not and did not provide

What do you mean?

> * Instead of owning any responsibility, they blamed the customer, several times

They did? I must have missed that. All I see are statements of facts from Square. Maybe you're misinterpreting that given that Jason did in fact screw up.
SEEKING WORK - San Francisco/Remote

I'm an iOS/Rails developer with App Store experience who used to work at Hipster (www.hipster.com). Our work was ranked on all of Apple's top lists: What's Hot, New and Noteworthy, and Staff Favorites. We were recently acquired by Aol. Now, I'm freelancing full-time.

I have other apps in the App Store (see below), as well as a side project I'm working on that's still in mockup form (email me for screenshots!).

I'm also capable of creating Rails backends to support mobile apps. The only additional support I need is a designer to developer mockups.

Prior to Hipster, I worked at Google, Microsoft, and Apple (http://www.linkedin.com/in/joshavant).

Past performance is no guarantee for future results. Other civilizations have failed in the past for mismanaging resources.

Your argument optimistically assumes that we'll be able to cope with the environmental changes that our activity is causing. Supply is only one part of the equation. For example, our CO_2 emissions, whether or not they cause global warming (that's mostly controversial in the US AFAIK), are causing ocean acidification, which could have a massive impact on marine life.

In dynamic systems as complex as the earth, tipping points are impossible to predict. That being said, we've never been pushing as hard for one.

Regarding growth, I have a hard time understanding how an exponential growth of our activity can be sustainable, especially in terms of energy requirements, which should be proportional (AFAIK). I believe that the current system is tautological. We need growth to sustain growth, but it hardly benefits people anymore. Wealth and happiness are related up to a point we reached in western countries in the 1960's IIRC. And after the last downturn, the economy restarted, but it didn't bring the jobs back.

I hope that there are alternative economic models. That's why I was talking about the prisoner's dilemma. I think that we're stuck on a bandwagon in a headlong rush.

I know that I'm very pessimistic about this, but I'm genuinely concerned. I can only hope I'm wrong.
Well in this case, it seems that the company is acting childish. I wouldn't hesitate to hire someone who honest about what he believes in.
I love the design and layout!
Among my friends in education, it's commonly accepted that the problems at underperforming schools are largely social issues and not education issues. The real question is why the public, politicians, and media don't focus on the social side more?
I made it to the next one before I gave up: "Relational databases grew up solving problems where data integrity was paramount and availability was not a big concern."
"Sense of discretion?" Why is this the first time I've ever heard that phrase used in the context of startups? Because it's never a concern and is only a matter of common sense when someone is defensive.

Nobody hiring is ever preoccupied with how a prospective employee will "air his/her beefs" with the company after leaving its employ. Quite the opposite, companies tend to hire for the long term since onboarding new hires is such an expensive process.

This thread has caught fire, to say the least, so I'm thinking the taboo against airing his/her "beefs" has long been an empty threat holding back a lot of pent-up frustration.
I fail to see any actual recursion going on in your video.
Trustworthy? Jason already demonstrated he is not trustworthy, since he failed to keep the necessary amount of funds in his linked account to cover any chargebacks that may occur. He screwed up, and he expected Square to pay for it.
Our startup <a href='http://www.gethopscotch.com>Hopscotch</a>; is in the midst of something similar. We came from NY and have managed to do it very much on the cheap by staying with friends and using miles to get here. I could definitely see a tech scene blossoming here, it's a great environment for coders.
Your story is an exception, the OP's story is the general rule.

It's a well-known fact that CS requests have a really high abandonment rate. It saves a lot of money to hold off on answering requests for as long as possible, because it weeds out the non-urgent requests, and makes people loath to create more.

If every request takes at least 24 hours, then a sizeable segment of the population will give up trying unless something really big comes up. Responding quickly sends the wrong signal that CS reps are an effective way to solve issues and your volume will probably shoot way up.

Why do people go to conferences ?

a. To meet and sell to potential clients at a relevant trade fair
b. To meet and court potential hires or partners
c. Get inspired
d. To eat and drink and be merry

Building something awesome doesn't happen in isolation - you've got to sell too! A gathering of people around an idea is very useful to have.

Of course, all of the above can be accomplished without going to the conference proper - you can hack your way around - but you still need to spend that time and effort

As with many things, it depends on how it's done. If there's no disclosure and editorial keeps referring to certain products or companies without any implication of a relationship, that's just payola. Sadly, there are plenty of outlets and magazines that are suspected of or have been caught doing this.

Increasingly, though, reputable media organizations are doing collaborations with brands, such as with merchandise, pull outs, giveaways, or in clearly marked 'products we like' sections (essentially advertising as content - super popular in fashion and women's magazines). It's a rapidly spreading model in the magazine space in particular. Monocle magazine is one of the exemplary examples - http://www.reallypractical.com/2009/07/06/is-monocle-the-fut...

The big traffic/small CPM model is still too lucrative online for the bigger online publishers to spend too much time on the newer ideas, but the hands of other media have been forced by tumbling revenues and, in a funny twist, are becoming more progressive.

On quality, though, the readership will ultimately vote with their feet (or clicks) - outlets that fall into the payola trap will suffer audience drops and legal trouble, outlets that transparently entertain or inform their readership in conjunction with advertisers will thrive (as Monocle is).

Separate from pairing up with media outlets, many advertisers are now going 'direct' to audiences with content-driven campaigns (not just videos, but entire content sites). Digitally prodigious companies and startups have been doing this for ages with blogs and the like, but the approach is now becoming mainstream and being taken on by the big brands.

Ad blockers are next to useless on all of this but, IMHO, the end result is better. Outlets and brands have to start telling interesting stories and sharing interesting content, instead of tricking us into clicking graphics and becoming leads.
