No that's interesting! Gots to dig into this little tidbit.
The documentation is underwhelming, from a get-up-and-running POV ... protip for authors of new libraries etc. I should be able to cut and paste your code and have it just work right away.

If you don't add

var MyApp = Em.Application.create();

to the examples in the docs page the code simply won't work.

What improvements can you think of for this? For example, parallel sound hints of other aspects of the context, like a note at a certain frequency to indicate indentation, or using stereo to indicate the position of a word?
> - How is GitHub worth less than Pinterest?

The fact that the top two comments are saying this is a sure sign we are progressing into a full-fledged bubble.

See George Zachary's interview: http://techcrunch.com/2012/05/17/in-the-studio-crvs-george-z... -- it sure seems like we are entering "Stage 2" (check out the video, not the article)

When we start discussing what we feel one company is worth based entirely off of the valuation of another, unrelated, presumably inflated valuation, it's the beginning of the end.
How about a video where we hear the actual result of playing the GTar, instead of some terrible clip-audio crapola?

Tips for Finding a Co-Founder for Your Start-Up
I've been to their offices just a couple months ago. Github is pretty small, there was literally just 7 people there when we went over (granted most work from home). If they want to expand, they need to hire people for sales and support. VC money seems reasonable for that.

> After reading Well-Kept Gardens Die By Pacifism[1], I am convinced that banning is vastly underused. Many of us are professionals. Our time is valuable; our communities, even more-so. There are so many fools with so many maladaptive behaviors. Considering what else we could be working on, correcting them all simply isn't worthwhile. The opportunity cost is too high.

Let's take it a step further. I don't think any of us would object to paying a nominal fee (say, $2/month) to obtain voting/posting privileges on HN. Although this would drastically reduce the amount of activity on the site, it would undoubtedly increase the quality of whatever activity remained. Not because a lot of people wouldn't be able to afford it, but because a troll wouldn't enter his credit card information and other personal details just to obtain the ability to flame someone on the internet.

Ask HN: Making the Case for no DRM
Hi HN!

I live an volunteer at a non-profit in India. We are just about to release our books to the Amazon Kindle and iBooks stores.

Excuse me but couldn't they just optimize the way they use Django ORM?

... as in: check the output of SQL queries constructed by Django ORM and tweaked it in your Django Model layer such that the resulted SQL query will be tuned for performance?

Or at the very least, shouldn't Django ORM at least provide a way to retrieve data with "filtering" as optional parameters? (get only a few columns, but not all..)

NASDAQ's Deadlocks During Facebook's First Trading Day
If you've used Drupal, what you're describing is simply the correct usage of one of its most powerful pieces: Views. However, even with its somewhat decent "query" editing interface, it's still a complex task that requires some critical data-oriented thinking skills. It's important, I think, for people to be able to format an electronic table about as easily as they can do it with a pen and paper. It's a fundamental formatting operation, IMO, and there should always be a fast/intuitive way of making them.

When you look at Airbnb's potential I hardly consider this a small venture. Maybe they are not disrupting technology / hardware businesses. But at least from my point of view they have the potential to disrupt the hotel and travel industry (including corporate travel, I know an austrian company using it for their sales people). Wether or not that scale was part of the vision right from the start I can't tell.
I just saw the video, looks awesome. I have experience working on conferencing products and UberConference looks pretty sleek. Some of the pain points that they mention in the video are real. There are plenty of conference applications/products to choose from and not sure how UberConference is going to standout. Also some of the features supported by UberConfernce can be added to the existing conference application with some effort. Its not impossible to add these features as mentioned by craig in the video. Its a crowded market with big potential. All that said, Wish these guys great success.
Ask HN: It's 2012, what database solution do you now pick for a Web 2.0 site?
Congratulations, it's now the year 2012. Your ready to start a brand new Web 2.0 Website. Now all you need to do is pick a persistent storage (aka a database). Which one do you pick now?

You can choose the traditional paid SQL Server, Oracle or maybe the traditional unpaid MySQL. Older ones came up to replace it such as PostGresql. Then comes the nontraditional such as Cassandra, HBase, MongoDB, and so forth. With all these choices, which one does one now pick? How about if your not 100% sure how your site will scale in the future?

It's a startup, the idea will change as time goes on.

It would be interesting to get a caricaturists take on this if this is how they see people before they draw them. Also, if they knew of this optical illusion before it was published.
Evernote is valuated at a billion + and as far as I know is not as profitable.

So something is surely off.

"It takes Pinterest less work to convert a byte of bandwidth into profit. Not only do they need less development effort moving forward, they also stand better odds of making money on some random user."

But they also need many more users to actually turn it into revenue.
Insect Longboards
Insect longboards are kinds of skateboard that are design for street sports. It has a longboard decks that can be use for skating in the street. It also has large wheels for fast speed. I prefer to use long boards than skateboard because it is safer than the usual skateboard. Skateboards are only use for different tricks, it is also a sport.
One change since that time is that there is way more flexibility in the placement of displays.

This also isn't a light pen. You do not need to hold it close to the display.

Finally, there is way more casual computer interaction. A light pen could be fine for short interactions (especially if you do not have to search for the pen first)

Too bad that a horrible answer was selected as the best. The minheap/maxheap solution requires that the entire stream of integers be stored in memory.

There is a fast and memory efficient solution using Indexable Skiplists: http://code.activestate.com/recipes/576930-efficient-running...

In a n-sized sliding window, only the most recent n elements need to be stored (not the entire data stream). The skiplist insertions, deletions, and indexed lookups are all O(log n).

If there's a bubble, and it's related to the Facebook IPO, then why did Facebook lose 11% of its value on Monday?
I'm fairly certain that both times should be in PDT/EDT, but time zones were never my strong suit.
Lets do the math then: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=785+millibars+*+876+cub...

Result: Each air change costs around .62 of a gallon of gas (assuming perfect efficiency). Or around $2.50 - let's call it $10 to account for inefficiency. In contrast it costs around $10,000 per hour (not including salary) to fly a large plane.

Saying they don't circulate air to save money is ridiculous.

- If this works as advertised, this company will never ship the product. They will be bought within months for a huge sum of money, even if they do not want to be bought. Reason for that is:

- Litigation, litigation! They will need deep pockets to defend themselves against patent claims.

> Not because a lot of people wouldn't be able to afford it, but because a troll wouldn't enter his credit card information and other personal details just to obtain the ability to flame someone on the internet.

Patently incorrect. People have been paying for the privilege of abusing others at least since the days of Ultima Online (just to name one example). So-called "griefers" have a presence in every online community, even the paying ones.

Though I agree with the spirit of what you're proposing - erect a barrier to entry to make people decide how serious they are - in all likelihood it will only deter a few trolls and will almost certainly keep out future valuable contributors.

IMHO, I think the best way to keep trolls out is to not respond to them, and to continue writing quality HN contributions. At times I've been discouraged over the last year that "HN was on the decline". Each time, I've been encouraged by the fact that the elders of the community seem to come back and raise the tone again.

I think if you stick around long enough and learn to use your karma score as a barometer for what type of discourse is valuable and which is not, you can eventually become a good contributing member.

I saw this before but in the context of "average" faces instead of celebrities.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wM6lGNhPujE

Both videos (with and without celebs) were pretty trippy.

Maybe it is just me but I don't really see the effect on Halle Berry, Kevin Bacon or Hugh Laurie... they all seems to look pretty much the same to me with or without the face flashing.
I've seen zero evidence that Pinterest can actually generate a profit. They do not make money from every product someone pins, and there's no reason to think they ever will. The only thing I've seen so far is speculation and theoretical future business models that may or may not pan out.

Github however is profitable and has a proven, functional business model. Github is absolutely not fighting a losing game, because they're providing a service companies obviously desperately want to outsource (thus the mass usage). Providing that service in a secure manner is worth a lot of money, as Github is protecting something extraordinarily valuable.
I do. It was a very impressive set of user interface improvements. That something amazes me does not make a revolutionary product in the sense that Blank means. For him it's a technical term.
A friend recently tried to go for a github enterprise install at his >$1B market cap company. He really wanted it, they made it hard.

Some specific gripes included very slow support response time and poor options for installs (vm based only). There were others but it boiled down to the ops guys asked to set up and maintain the system weren't happy with the way they were treated.

I don't think 'going enterprise' is good for the culture of any company, but if they want to do it, they definitely have to kick up their game.
You can drive somebody else out of business without a revolutionary product. Look at how the US car companies got hammered by the Japanese for decades. Japanese cars did not fly or even hover. They were just better cars, but they still kicked Detroit's ass around the block again and again.

I'm happy to agree that Apple's App Store was a revolutionary approach to software sales, though. That really did transform a market entirely. But the iPhone itself was not revolutionary in the same sense.
Because the bubble is already over. The Facebook IPO marks the zenith of this relatively modest bubble period.

Ditto for Groupon, Zynga, Pandora and the like having the insane valuations that they did, while generating zero profit - their valuations have imploded massively. Or a company like HomeAway, that was sporting a $4 billion market cap, and a 600 pe ratio; or LinkedIn with its 1,000 or so pe ratio. The bubble has already exploded for companies like Netflix, whose valuation has collapsed back to earth. A few more like CRM are temporarily defying gravity.

You misunderstand the headline. He is talking about letting users export their data. Here is an article with the full quote from Page: http://venturebeat.com/2012/05/21/larry-page-on-charlie-rose...
Thanks for that, I can see it there, they look like monsters. In the celebrity one I didn't see it at all. The one you link to the faces seem to stay aligned better and more consistent dimensions than with the celebrity version. That may be why it worked better.
As compared to Facebook that will index and put ads on them. There is no lesser evil here - not in principle at least. All firms seem to be in the same business of selling advertisements. Facebook might be able to do better display advertisements as compared to Google and they seem less intrusive to users - a viewpoint that I subscribe to. But other than the extent of intrusion, both Facebook and Google are using the data you provide for targeted advertisements.

[Edit: Typos]
We already had, but it was shit and almost nobody used it. Thanks to Apple it's not shit, and everyone uses it. This is actually almost as important as inventing the thing.
I don't understand why commenters here speak of a "they". There is no "they" and Anonymous is not a group. It's a label that anyone can put on themselves. They may as well call themselves "freedom fighters" (lowercase).

> What does "[going] into enterprise" mean?

Going into enterprise means more than having just a behind-the-firewall solution. Deploying code behind the firewall means that you are at the mercy of the customer's environment and have to be much more forgiving than running in an "opinionated" SaaS environment.

To wit, here is a laundry list of things you have to deal with for enterprise customers, and they all require time, money, and support.

+ Slower release cycle than SaaS - you may not be able to push updates to customer environments at will. They may require that they decide when to take updates, which means their codebase could be several months behind. (Not always, but it can happen).

+ Data & privacy laws, particularly for European customers. Do you love S3? A lot of companies don't, and governments especially don't. This means potentially rolling your own elastic file storage which must also be deployed behind the firewall.

+ You get into managing a cluster for the customer, not just a single instance.

+ Your software must fit the security scheme of the customer. In a SaaS environment, you typically have a great deal of control over the network topology. Behind the firewall, company policy may require that only certain ports be open. This might mean re-writing code to either serve a lot of protocols over port 80 or being on long support calls while people file tickets and wait for IT to punch open holes for you. (And then sometimes close them right back up, requiring you to repeat the cycle every time you deploy).

+ It's also not uncommon to have a dedicated team just for the enterprise customers, or even a dedicated team just for one enterprise customer. This requires hiring people who must be trained and brought up to speed. As I'm sure you're aware, engineer salaries are a big cost factor.

+ If time differences are too large or too inconvenient, you may need to hire people in other parts of the world. This means needing to comply with local laws and regulations. Which usually means hiring lawyers, additional HR people, etc.

The list goes on and on. Deploying for the enterprise can be much more involved than what you might think.
Obviously none of the existing comments in this thread have bothered to read the link. All that is really behind the headline is Page saying that users should be allowed to export their data to another service easily if they want to, not that google wants to index all facebook data...

> The other factor is hype ... Easy to let your imagination go wild if you're an investor.

hype investment is a poor investment, unless you are looking to cheat the late comers to the 'hype', instead of looking to create value (in which case, the investor is a blood sucker, and should be hated).

Poor investments looses society wealth. In other words, it should not be that a hyped up fad of the month company garners more investment monies than a real, profitable company.
