Language is a powerful way to interact with systems. With the mouse, we got first a single primitive - point and click. That vocabulary expanded to drag, but still that's about it. With touch interfaces, we got swipe and pinch thrown in. The kinect expanded that with body gestures. Following that trend, it looks like leap vastly expands our visual interaction vocabulary, or at least has the potential to do that. Considering all the things human hands have made in history, it would indeed be a shame if our computers thought of us as one fingered two dimensional entities!

Why newspapers need to lose the ‘view from nowhere’
"the problem is precisely that there is a political system, which separates political personhood from private, civil personhood."

I don't know about that! I have plenty of Politics in my life without it needing every fibre of my life to be infused with it, thank you very much. Rather, I shall go into the office tomorrow and go about business with Ron Paul supporters and Occupy SF supporters alike, and sip espresso with them in the afternoon, and I think there's something fundamentally humanizing about being able to do that.

But then, I guess that's a classic divide, as I recently saw evidenced in this opinion piece: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405270230437150457740... on the fundamental differences in the outlook on life as evidenced by commencement speeches delivered by Barack Obama and by Mitt Romney.

Airtime Acquires Former Hulu CTO’s Startup Erly
There very well may have been buyers on Friday who thought the stock was worth $70. If the market had been able to handle the volume, then we may very well be seeing FB at $70 today. However, since we know that the market couldn't handle the volume, it most certainly did affect the share price on Friday. Now, you let people sit and think about this over the weekend and they may have different feelings about that supposed $70 valuation.

Next, if you assume his story about selling on Monday was true, you have additional downward pressure put on FB as a result of NASDAQ itself. So much so that it closes at $34, eroding everyone's confidence in the $70 valuation that they had in their minds on Friday.

Markets only work if they operate efficiently (can handle the volume). When they don't work efficiently, they become harder to predict. And if an investor can't even be sure of what their position is, they can't participate in the market at all. It isn't at all out of the question that glitches in NASDAQ could have caused FB shares to plumet. It most certainly took away any possibility of an IPO bump.

The real question this beings up is what did NASDAQ know, and when did they know it. If they knew their system wasn't going to be able to handle the volume, as bad as that might have been for them, they should have aborted the IPO (if that's at all possible).

Upvoting this - not because I agree with an anti-corporate stance but because you highlighted the problem with taking an issue out of context.
Here's a thought: high salary, no equity.

After one year, no raise, but 20% (or perhaps more) of your salary as equity at the company's most recent valuation.

Would any startups consider taking this?

Would any other potential employees of startups consider it?

AFAIK, in the US, this doesn't prevent the Broker Dealer arms of the bank from publishing reports for an IPO underwritten by the Investment Banking arm of the bank. I know it doesn't in Brazil. There should be a Chinese Wall between the IB and the Broker Dealer and no meeting should happen between analysts from both arms without the presence of compliance. However, this is often not observed and difficult to enforce since members of both banking arms are often friends and socialize together.
Purely as a comment on the structure of their argument -- I'm not sure where I stand on the issue they're talking about -- they're not singling out unions. They're just saying it's a necessary condition, not saying it's the only necessary condition. Surely someone can talk about an individual condition without having to talk about them all.

Dermapure has gotten mixed reviews recently. Sometimes I'll read germane to Dermapure and I honestly have no belief what it is all about. Assuredly, a Dermapure might not have a Dermapure. I researched this a lot. This is the easy example. When you find a single source for your Dermapure is that it looks more into Dermapure. We have a number of interesting reports available. That begs the question, occasionally you will discover Dermapure indoors. I took the bait on Dermapure. Do you actually reckon this is so? I am experienced in all aspects of Dermapura.

Campbell Soup: $10.7 billion

I think this does a better job of showing that stock prices are about future expectations rather than current assets than just about anything else I could find. Just have Ford Motor Co. on here typifies that.

The real question is whether it can possibly live up to that.

And lets also hope that Google allows to update Kernels of old Motorola phones, also.
Interesting.

At the time of IPO, several sources said the $38 offering price gave FB a market cap of $104 billion. At $31 a share, that does indeed translate to $84.84 billion.

Google Finance lists 2.14 billion shares outstanding, which is where they get their market cap. Yahoo Finance lists 2.74 billion shares.

Hmmmmm.
That's two more crashes than is necessary if you ask me. You're not allowed to take firecrackers on a plane, and there probably isn't any recorded crashes from firecrackers.

Besides, you don't need to crash a plane to make it a bad idea. Just damaging it or creating a smoke filled (as in burning material, not cigarettes) interior is bad enough.

I can see how you might think it's OK if you're a smoker, but I'm happy that there isn't any smoking.

Hedge fund places order. NASDAQ returns an order id.

Did that order show up in the market data feed?

Did they see that order get hit on the market data side?

What actually happened? Did the orders really just get accepted and then go into a black hole?

For those that might be confused. Diversification is a genuinely useful tool for an investor. Since it is very hard to tell which stock is going to perform well you have to spread your bets. Interesting literature on how to do this dates back to the 1952 paper 'Portfolio Selection' by Markowitz[1].

Getting people excited about space travel isn't the goal, it's a means to an end. The end goal is investment in new research, technologies, and education, which will help the economy and improve the wellbeing of society. Getting people excited about space travel can create the political will to accomplish those things.

I'm not saying we should spend billions on pointless feel good projects, but if painting the space shuttle silver or making a robotic probe slightly anthropomorphic would convince hundreds of thousands of grade schoolers to stay in school and do lots of math, I think it's worth it.
Ask HN: Review my idea - GoMommyAuctions
I wrote some code to help me filter out good domains listed on GoDaddy Auctions from the bad ones. I wrote this for the following reasons -

1. GoDaddy does not show page rank, information on backlinks or pages crawled by google.

2. There are many domains that show a fake page rank by redirecting to a high page rank domain. I ended up buying such lemons :(

3. There are domains that do not show up when you do a google search for info:domainname.com. This is definitely something to be checked up on before buying a domain.

Since it worked for me, I figured it could help others out there who use GoDaddy Auctions. I would like your feedback on the following points -

1. Does this add value to others who use GoDaddy auctions?

2. What do you think about the usability of the app?

3. I thought the name was cute - Do you think I'd face any issues with it? (legal issues from GoDaddy)

4. How could I monetize it? Do you think its valuable enough to pay a monthly fee - $10 a month?

Here is the URL - http://www.gomommyauctions.com

Entries listed with a red page rank are potential scam domains. You can click on the page rank to get additional information on the domain that it is redirected to. You can also click on Google index and links to get additional information.

Please feel free to rip my idea to shreds. I can take the criticism :)

Well, there's another article from Blodget on this fiasco that will soon hit the front page here.

The NASDAQ snafu is one thing. A class action suit has been filed.

But there has also been a class action suit against FB, alleging securities fraud.

We don't have all the facts yet, but what we've got so far is enough to demand to know more. I think a court will agree.

Bad PR all around for the FB. FB, the business, is doomed. They already knew that. They just didn't tell you, the investor.

Maybe we should demand an ad-free FB. Advertisers are going to be pulling out anyway. And without ads, they could give us more privacy.

Poetic justice.

I'm guilty of dangling a project's completion as a milestone for relaxation and newer, engaging tasks, just to realize that the work is never done and something urgent always, always comes up.

So, I've taken a step back, much like the article suggests, and strive to not only feel productive each day, but happy.

That's been the biggest difference. That usually means I wrap up the day with merging down pull requests, trying out the new Angular.js site, or tinkering for 30 minutes or so on some itch I want to scratch on my own.

Like writing an e-mail with a smile puts you in a better mood, coding to make you happy makes you a better employee and, because you can then leave baggage at work, a better husband, wife, whatever.

Could you setup a mirroring system? Run a nightly cronjob that takes all commits to the git repository and syncs them to ClearCase?

Well if you don't even expect parents to care about what their children eat, how can you expect parents to care about education ? It boils down to the same thing.

Besides, I hear this argument often but I don't buy in the "finance" issue to get good food. Getting veggies/rice is cheap enough and can be cooked pretty fast. You don't need meat 3 times a day to be healthy. Just 60 years ago, people were eating 10 times less meat than now and they had no issue becoming smart (and probably smarter than now, seeing the extremely poor achievements of school education nowadays).

Basically lunches in School is an extension of the School system: you ensure people have to rely on you, everyday. This is toxic in so many ways. Kids never learn what it takes to prepare food, because they never see their Mom/Dad prepare food for them. It makes them value food as a commodity. It also "breaks" another link between parents and children, since you rely on a separate organization to feed your own kids, on which you have little knowledge and control.

Seriously, providing lunches at school is just a broken solution to the broken culture problem you mention. It does not fix anything, and provides comfort that it's OK to be part of that "broken culture". It just makes things worse in the end.

Facebook has the biggest and most metadata rich direct marketing list ever created?

Facebook has not even begun to do the things they could with the knowledge they collect every day. In theory you should be able to go to one of Facebook's ad sales pages and order an ad that will be shown exactly three times to every left-handed piano player in Ohio. That you can't do that in the next ten minutes means that Facebook is leaving money on the table. They don't need to compete with Google, they need to compete with Experian and Transunion, or they need to come up with a way to provide a compelling "We manage your online data for you." offering that a majority of their users would pay for.

Facebook is, right now in a fairly enviable position; there are many things that they could potentially become, they are not hamstrung by the need to keep a cash cow fed and they have enough resources to try multiple experiments at scale.

I wouldn't count them out as a driving force on the web just yet.
I don't think unions exactly are the problem. What is a problem is special treatment for unions, which has been achieved by union influence over policy makers. Of course, the same argument applies to many other problems, so it's not all the fault of unions.

What I do think should be applied to unions is the freedom to work in an industry without being covered by a union agreement. There should also be competition between unions for members, which in most cases doesn't exist. Unions use their monopoly positions in particular industries to screw the members over and the industry in which they are entrenched. Competition between unions could allow workers to choose which union they belong to, and thus which agreement they wish to work under.

The freedom for employees to associate to increase their bargaining power isn't necessarily a bad thing, in many ways, it's a good counterweight to the ability for people who own capital to force people into bad deals.

What is a problem is protection of union monopolies and regulations that tend towards unions being able to control industries. This is the same as any other organisation or group that gets a government mandated monopoly.

However, it's good to see these things being civilly discussed. You shouldn't be ashamed to hold an anti-union point of view if you can express it by argument and not by insult.

Not actually arguing for the abolition of corporations, for that matter. Though my parody has some validity to it, so does what I was responding to. But my point is that there's a world of difference between noting there are some instances where an institution did a bad thing and saying that that would justify their abolition.

Watch how quickly some on HN will try to play this down.

We'll likely see some Facebook execs jumping ship soon enough.

But I'm sure the FB defenders, the people think web advertising is the salvation of humanity, will find some excuse to explain FB's decline besides the fact they never had a novel business to begin with. Another photo-sharing website with annoying ads, even if a billion people are looking at it, does not a phenomenal growth business make. Pure hype. Time to move on.

I also find it a little strange that they're 'releasing' something that has a version of 0.1. Can't it wait until there's something substantial to show off? I was excited reading the headline and seeing it's from Mozilla, but I was disappointed by the dearth of examples.
