"The internet" is being used to justify everyone getting everything they want for free.. Please consider how you might be using up entrepreneurial goodwill to make your life easier in many different ways without ever giving back and wasting the entrepreneurs time for no return.

Lean principles are there to make sense of an idea before too much time is actually wasted developing it. I would say that getting a hundred people to spend 60 seconds reading a landing page and then signaling their intent with a quick click is much less wasteful than months of development on an idea that may not have any real market. Going onto the street with a clipboard and survey doesn't really cut it todays world...

I was quite happy to help, as i was with the buffer lean landing page before.. i would hope that if i wanted to do the same type of thing to validate an idea, that i could count on the tech community to help...
YES DO IT (I would help if I had spare time, I'll just wish you good luck instead)

It's much richer and has much better infastruction than the rest if Africa.
Initializing NSArray, NSDictionary, etc. with data in it has nothing to do with ObjC as a language.

No longer true as of this release. There's now direct syntactic support in the compiler for them.

See:
http://weblog.bignerdranch.com/398-objective-c-literals-part...

What you couldn't do until C++11 (and even then only in the bleeding edge compilers) is this:

std::vector<int> foo = { 1, 2, 3 };

But the gnarly template mechanics it takes to make that work will poke through in error messages and the debugger etc.
Depends what you mean by "local infrastructure". Up until recently east Africa dint have a fiber link to the rest of the internet, it was all satilite. Forget last miles, this is the last 1000 miles.
I'd like to think so, but I imagine that as a fast-growing company in a tech niche they are unusual enough that a bank wouldn't be qualified to evaluate their credit-worthiness.

I think it's pretty cool to participate on a site where "functional" is defined by someone as "having Python"!

That said, my guess is that for the average consumer, things like that are far less important than having lots of easy to get apps, and a general look and feel that work well.

And I have to say that from that point of view, my cheap Samsung Android phone is just night and day ahead of the Nokia with Symbian that I had. The Nokia had Google Maps, Gmail, and some other stuff, but it was extremely clunky in comparison.

Worthwhile (if difficult) idea to implement. In addition to decrypting the legalese speak it would be helpful to standardise your output so that contracts could be compared side by side.
Okay, so apparently it's more of a community endeavour with existing tools than a new tool that they've constructed for the purpose.

The original WorldWideWeb browser by Berners-Lee actually was able to edit hypertext, although I'm not certain of the specifics. I've wondered a lot why the Web grew up as an authoritarian network -- with DNS and such -- rather than a peer-to-peer hypertext-trading network. The success of sites like Wikipedia show that it's not because people simply don't remix other peoples' content. I think it might have to do instead with the fact that non-server computers are still unreliable and unreliably connected. When I go home from work, my laptop changes IP addresses and is off-line for 20 minutes.

One crazy idea for a startup: create the infrastructure so that this isn't an issue. The closest things I know of to a social hypertext site are Wikipedia and Github's blog-and-gist systems, and they don't really solve the problem. One crazy problem with the idea: I really don't see how you'd get a revenue stream out of it.
Perhaps not in the USA but in the UK everyone I knew was glued to the TV to watch the Apollo launches. Of course there was a big layer of Cold War propaganda added, but it was an exciting time.

Ah ok. I agree. Generalizations about Africa are generally wrong. There's a world of difference between Cairo or Cape Town or somewhere deep in the jungles of the DRC.

> As a self-taught programmer, color theory is one of those things I hadn't had the chance to be immersed in yet, and learning about HSL and HSV was fascinating.

For what it’s worth, HSL and HSV (just like the RGB they’re trivially derived from) are both terrible color spaces to be interacting with, as humans. Here’s my fuller explanation why: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSL_and_HSV#Disadvantages. That they’ve been enshrined places like the CSS spec and most software color pickers is yet another example of programmer convenience winning over human-friendly design.
It doesn't bode well for accessibility when even browser makers like Mozilla can't get the most basic elements right - links with only colour to differentiate them, images without alt text, missing form labels ...
PDF file full of content that was published years ago to the Internet

I strongly suggest that everyone write down this sentence-fragment and analyze it carefully, because it describes the borked way many people perceive value for things and you should specifically avoid framing things you write for your business such that they align with this value system.

For example, for a similar offer, I might have gone with microcopy like "Get the New York Times best-seller" [enter your email address] Button: "Send me my copy."

NYT best-seller turns the "It's old!" objection on its head: it is now social proof of its value. (This depends on whether its a NYT best-seller, which I don't know off the top of my head. If it isn't technically, there are other ways to phrase that: sold X00,000 copies, etc.)

"Get" is (testably!) a stronger verb that "Download" because people have positive associations with possession and non-positive associations with bits, particularly people who expect their bits to be free.

"My copy" activates those covetous neuroreceptors that really like exclusive ownership of things. People really like that, even the same folks who will yak your ear off that data cannot be owned: for example, almost all of them will beam with pride when saying "my favorite band" as if they have a particular claim to feudal loyalty from the people whose music they most frequently don't pay for.

But the point is much, much broader than microcopy on particular pages. It informs how you'd go about executing on a "content strategy" -- for example, if you just take the date off stuff you put into WordPress and stop calling them "blog posts" and start calling them "comprehensive guides to X written by our experts" customer perceived value will go through the roof. Seriously, this is testable.

I will publish more extensive commentary on the strategic implications of this for software businesses later. (Notice how much better that sounds than "I will blog about this.")

Great story!

Also a quick bit of feedback, the only way to realise there's a music control is to get rid of the pop-up about the chrome app. At first I thought this was a bad version of thesixtyone where you couldn't skip tracks. Not the greatest UX for first time users.

And why is the difference in sound levels so bad. I had two songs, the difference in volume was very jarring. I'd link them but...

This brings me to another massive deal killer. The url doesn't change as the band does. I can't copy the address of the presently playing song. And I can't skip back to find out who I was just listening to. And there doesn't seem to be a history function.

What's the point in listening to new music if you can't listen to it again and share it? I'm probably a bit of an outlier though, I use that archaic thing called email or chat to share music.

Still, I like the ability to add myself to someone's mailing list straight from the app. I'll certainly be checking back here soon. Seems a bit more artist focused than the competitor I won't name again, which is always good.

EDIT: Also love the ability to dive into genres. Also, came off more negative than I meant it to, I do think it's off to a great start!
Great Application Design
The 3 White Lies Behind Instagram’s Lightning Speed
It's a lot more than that. Developing and maintaining a supply chain, shipping finished product, different testing strategies, different pre-release design and prototyping strategies, regulatory approval (for anything that has a radio, among other things)... and that's just a few things off the top of my head.
It's a shame such a great presentation is ruined by the usage of "Hot Chicks".

It wouldn't have cost them anything to just say "models" instead of "models and hot chicks?"

And just like that, my interest in the app is gone.

There may even be permanent damage done to Facebook's reputation.

Any permanent damage done to Facebook's reputation will purely be because they overvalued the IPO, overstated earnings, bought out other internet companies at inflated valuations pre-IPO, and burned those who bought at the inflated initial valuation.

As to whether the trading system damaged confidence in Facebook - it's not always possible to get the deal you want on a stock-market, and anyone placing a limit order should know that they might get a vastly different price than the one they expected - there are disclaimers in trading systems specifically for this situation. Trading is stopped all the time by circuit breakers (see Zynga that same day for example), depends on both willing buyers and sellers at a given price, and of course depends on the trading systems not going down for whatever reason. If you're buying as a long term investment of a stock that you believe in this won't affect you. If you're speculating, particularly short-term, you should recognise that the casino is rigged against small investors - the stock market is not, and never will be, rational, fair, or efficient; it's just the least worst option we have. However I don't believe that lack of access to the stock or prices on the first day of trading has anything to do with the current price ($31 last time I looked) - that's just down to a bubble deflating and confidence evaporating as people start asking questions about the true valuation.

Frankly I think this sort of talk of the technical issues is really a way of avoiding talking about why people bought Facebook at the initial irrational PE/price which (IMHO) has farther to fall before it becomes a reasonable valuation based on their projected earnings. That's the real issue here, but one which raises hard questions about the very high valuation of many social media companies like Instagram, Facebook etc.

Capitalism at its best - it's all about profit and outsmarting the competition. There are companies out there that try to do the right stuff - organic food, healthy stuff, etc, etc. But they struggle. They struggle because 'the good stuff' costs more to produce, therefore they have to charge more. Whilst the 'bad' companies sell unhealthy stuff at a lot lower price, thus yielding better profits. Which in turn means better advertising, better position on shelves, etc. Society is not ready for the change yet. You would do the right thing, but I'm guessing 90% of population, just don't care.
It's normal, and necessary, for the operating system to provide access to standard library functions; the easiest way to do this is having them at well-known addresses. Admittedly windows could do address space randomization which would make the exploit harder, but it should still be possible even with that.
Wait... if I can sneak a tab in there, what if someone hid a newline in there, too?

I'd strongly recommend the book "It's Not Carpal Tunnel Syndrome" - the title's misleading. I've had RSI on and off for a decade, and it's the best book on the subject I've found.

Other than that - take breaks. Workrave is excellent free software for Windows that forces you to take breaks - if I turn it off, I tend to feel the effects (negative) within a day or so.

Ergonomics, stretches, nerve glides, and a trip to a GOOD physio are also useful.

Idea for new readable code language
I like the idea. I just hope I can find someone in New Zealand.
I can only speak on why such a perception appears to hold. Anyone is free to spend their money in whatever manner they wish. But they cannot choose how people will percieve such actions, rational or not. The following reasons are why power tends to be associated with dishonesty:

- The hold that powerful entrenched interests have over government that only maintain a positive status-quo with respect to themselves. But negative for the long term development of society

- The offensive allowance and use of patents and litigation by powerful people with the intention to slow progress lest they become obsolete.

- The lavish displays of opulence despite the fact that people are still starving to death

- The still strong existence of classicism

- The love to hate relationship society has with divas and their transformation from normal people

- The inverse proportional relationship between net-worth and probability of proper enacting of justice

- Concentrations of power in government and finance are not typically associated with honesty. Politicians, lawyers and wall street are not held as paragons of noble behavior.

- The prevalence of dictators and corrupt rulers in developing nations

- The extravagant efforts available and taken by the extremely wealthy to minimizes the relative damage of taxes.

- The paucity of efforts like the X Prize, Gates Foundation, Planetary Resources, Space X.

- The difficulty in ensuring that money given to charities actually end up being used efficiently (powerful less needy people somehow end up getting the lion's share of this aid).
Not sure about the vouchers idea. You can already get milk vouchers and I've seen people exchange them for things other than milk.
That's not true if you use a pre-certified wifi module. Of course such modules cost half as much as the board, largely because they eliminate the cost of intentional radiator testing. But I agree, USB wifi is so cheap these days it makes no sense to have it built-in.
So to boil down your comments into easy points:

1. kill the first-load chrome download bar (I don't want it until I know I like the service) or make it non-blocking
2. use something like pushState (or location hash) to have all URLs always be referencing something useful (like the current song)
3. a canonical share source (solved by point 2) rather than *just* social-network buttons
4. add a "recently listened" thing of some sort

A few other ideas:

5. add a "listening with XXX others" count (specific to artist/track), for social proof of a different kind :)
6. add an "up next" with the option to skip
7. channel combinations (might be possible already? but the ability to listen to post-rock + ambient-electro would be cool, might confuse the UX)
8. nicer design.. it's ok at the moment but definite room for improvement.

Indeed Zimbabwe is not representative of all Africa.
However, Zimbabwe actually has better internet that most African countries. At least it's in the top 10 of 54 countries on the continent according to Ookla (http://www.netindex.com/download/allcountries/)

If Zimbabwe's internet is bad enough to cause users problems loading Google+, It's likely worse in the majority of the countries on the continent.

Generalising therefore was not meant to paint the picture that all Africa is the same, but that Google (if they read this) need to have a strategy that takes into account the poor internet quality the bulk of Africa has.

Larry Page using Google Glass
This is a massive challenge, made harder by all the other competing startups. I have been thinking often about offline versus online. For all the effort you do online, one good offline meeting could create much more benefit.

For example, you may have a million twitter followers who create minimal interaction. Or have a face to face meeting with one person who introduces you to an interested angel or your next big customer.

What has biggest impact?
Touche indeed.

Though a new website is on its way and its a bit less general. Our business has already changed quite a bit and we are more specific in our focus.
