I agree with your point. And I'm not saying it's the fault of YC.
The reality tho as you probably know is that YC companies go out seeking higher valuations than the norm. Those may be justified or not, and as you say often times that is driven by investor interest, but unfortunately "blindly" based on the fact that it's a YC company.

What I'm saying is that 80+ companies a batch raising at high vals is unsustainable.

I think the annotated screenshots might suffice short of an entire video that demos the app. I don't view those demo videos but I don't know if it's an effective marketing tool or not. I prefer the annotated screenshots :)

But yeah, I do feel that it is taking too long to cycle. I'd have to wait for a while and if it doesn't catch my attention, I'm gone so you'll have about a few seconds to grab attention :)

I believe the contention is that studies like DASH show that changes in sodium consumption, rather than levels of sodium consumption, can effect blood pressure. That is, if you go onto a low sodium diet your blood pressure will fall, but then rise again to its previous level as your body adjusts.
Pretty terrible compared to Diablo 2.

If you like being ( in the story ) some unrivaled being that everyone flatters and looks up to and expects you to defeat all evil, you'll love it.

Voice acting was superb, though. I guess I just found Diablo 2's ominous "good luck hero, you're gonna need it" atmosphere more realistic when going against the embodiment of all evil.
Google is a huge multinational, operating on the internet, which is (at least historically) devoid of specific jurisdictions. They could, at the expense of profits, sidestep this issue - but they don't.

Unfortunately the US is trying to deny that, with less and less success, but that's where we're at today.

I just think it's shitty of them to make such a noise about non-US state-sponsored surveillance, but remain relatively silent on the thousands and thousands unconstitutional USA PATRIOT wiretaps they get every single month.
"And was disproved" - lol. It was just disputed, but not disproved. I don't care about flood of some anonymous on HN, I more care about articles and books, written by really experienced authors.
It depends on your circumstances, and specifically whether (a) running the company is what you most want to spend your time on and (b) whether you want liquidity and diversification.

I didn't want to spend my life running Viaweb, and I did want liquidity and diversification, so selling it made me very happy.
You should give Programming Interviews Exposed: Secrets to Landing Your Next Job (http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Interviews-Exposed-Secrets...) a read. It gives you a good idea of what to expect and how you can prepare. I read it before I started interviewing a few months ago and I found it to be very helpful.
also, if he is actually proficient at a hardcore language like C, learning some of the more in-demand languages shouldn't be a problem. i guess if he doesn't have any web development experience, that could potentially limit his options a bit, but i don't think it would be a deal breaker, depending on how much wiggle room there is for ramping up post-hire.

It's not that hard to read, it's just dense.

I can read k, which is similarly dense, but limited to ASCII. You may need to read it a bit more slowly, like math, but it is readable. (I can't read Thai, either, but that doesn't make it unreadable.)

CORS is a massive and crippling restriction and needs

I noticed in the article on Braintree's blog they mention "Support for local, non-credit card payment methods will be added in the coming year" ... so hopefully.
well, I would, but then again I seldom put health before taste I'm afraid.

But to many people, the difference between OSX and iOS is large. I think this is one of the reasons why iOS has been so much more successful than OSX. The closed, curated environment is much easier to use for many people.

A natural extension of this is a Mac that runs iOS, or making OSX more like iOS. I think this is happening, and it's being driven by what most people want.

It may not be what I personally want, but fortunately there is more than one choice these days.
That confuses me a little bit. When I think of Open Graph, I think of making a custom action verb, or using a built in one like "watch". As far as I know you can't post open graph actions without getting the publish_actions permission. So I'm guessing that by open graph you mean publishing stories on the user's timeline using publish_stream, which is the graph api but not open graph.

I can see how you could publish events as stories using publish_stream, but Facebook wants you to use Open Graph / Actions for that and gives benefits for using open graph actions instead of publishing stories.
To play devil's advocate, if you allow the pros to do cool things, then the peons will see them doing that, and want to do it too. Why is your iPhone doing this cool thing that mine isn't? Then they try to manage their portable computer, and either dick it up or fail, but end up frustrated. Platform unity is a big deal, not just in the sense that there's only a few models of iPhone, but also in the sense that everybody's iPhone is equally awesome (or not).

In other news: I offer 50 bitcoins to anyone who can get me at least 5 or 10 good screenshots of the features and UI of the (presumably web) interface that Google provides to the feds for NSL/PATRIOT (un)"lawful intercept". 10 bitcoins for each of any other Alexa-top-50 provider (e.g. hotmail, FB, etc).

Anonymous mails accepted at sneak@datavibe.net. Include bitcoin address for payment. Don't bother with fakes - I've seen quite a few 'shops in my time, and can tell from some of the pixels.
>...the bubble saw its reflection in the mirror with the Facebook IPO and is contracting to "reflect" that understanding of self.

Beautifully put.

I'd imagine then, that the Instagram deal at $1B+ is the sweetest deal of this bubble era.

Those guys got bought out when facebook was thinking their IPO was going to result in ~250 share price.
+1 for google account, dedicated account, and live account, in that order of preference. Facebook just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
This is true ... but what I want to do -- have my photos for years to come, is pretty much what everyone wants to do (otherwise, why did you take them). But how many people can even move their iphoto/itunes library across when they buy a new apple computer? Let alone all the important meta-data...
That can be true. I still think that many companies are smaller in ambition.

Even if the company quality continues to go up, my opinion (as I tried to write in the post) is that 80+ companies raising seed rounds almost at the same time, every semester, with very high valuations, are unsustainable for the ecosystem in the long run.
that's the thing with video chat - it seems horrendously cool, looking at the video on vimeo ( http://vimeo.com/43359572 ). however most of the people in the video have some very visual talent they can show off. I would certainly like to try out such a service (I really liked chatroulette at the time it was big), however I don't have anything to show off. the thing with those video chats is that they need a certain amount of anonymity otherwise those meetings might turn awkward. being quickly introduced to numerous people at a party can be strenuous, doing the same to up to 20 people might get you exhausted pretty quickly, if you always try to be at your best in terms of behaviour. chatroulette had this veil of anonymity because every jerk could join and you knew anything that happened there wasn't supposed to be taken seriously. airtime tries to take this to the next level, but I don't think I'll be up for it.
Or not. A large class of people have simply never used the filesystem at all. Everything on their PC went onto the desktop or default directory. They used the "Find..." dialog to locate everything they used, etc... These folks are well served by the "modern" app-centric abstractions, and frankly will be harmed by an attempt to show them the filesystem.

But the rest of us are harmed by hiding it (badly, sometimes). I'm not sure there is a happy medium; I suspect to some extent we filesystem-conscious few will simply have to learn and use two UX environments.

I'm not the OP, but in 2003 iTunes was the single biggest drawback to switching to the Mac, for me. I had a fairly large collection of MP3s at the time -- maybe a coupla thousand -- and a bunch of versions of the same song in some cases (an album version, a radio version, live at here, live at there), and it was all neatly categorized in the filesystem, band/album/name, when I switched from Gentoo to OS X. I freely admit I should have had a backup.

When I "tried" iTunes, there was an option for it to rename all your files (I don't remember whether it was the default or if I stumbled on it), but what I did NOT expect was that all my carefully named folders and files would be lumped into "Unknown Artist"/"Unknown Album"/"Unknown Track NNN".mp3, while my old files were all carefully removed.

My MP3 collection literally never recovered. I could choose to play the few hundred tracks that had happened to have good ID3 information, but all the tracks I'd ripped myself were essentially randomized. I also never found an ID3 creator that could successfully differentiate the various versions of songs I had, though I stopped trying around 2006 or 2007, and now I don't bother buying music any more -- I just listen to Pandora.

The difference between rights in America and China are vast. Criticizing legitimate American counter-terrorism and counter espionage and suggesting that it's equivalent to China's suppression of thought of its citizens (and people in occupied zones like Tibet) are disingenuous. Dissent in China will get you a prison sentence or worse. Dissent in America will get your karma modded down.

Facebook Now Counting Viral Shares In Some Pages
I agree that there are definitely cases, attaching multiple files being one, where the lack of file system access makes the process more difficult or impossible. However, I think that there isn't really a "happy medium" in terms of whether direct access to the file system is provided or not, there is either access or there isn't. Rather, one possible solution is to put the onus on the app developer and allow apps to present files that can be "public" within the phone and accessible to other applications. Obviously this opens a worms in terms of security, which I think is one of the main reasons that Apple has not done this.
this is the only service for which I think , login with facebook makes sense .
Yes. Not all consumers are alike, and adding even a single button for your file system idea will make it a worse product for 95% of the other customers.

There is plenty of demand for Geography graduates. From an IT perspective - understanding Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software is essential in many industries - land management, natural resource exploitation, environmental modeling, transportation planning etc.

A Geography degree usually involves a mixture of “hard” and “soft” science. While studying I did everything from climbing mountains to set off weather balloons to standing on a street corner interviewing people about their transportation behavior. I also spent far too long hacking away in Python and attended many classes that were essentially computer science/physics classes. Finding a job after graduation was not an issue at all and nearly everyone I graduated with walked into a well paying job that was often in an exotic location. Please don’t lump us in with historians! ;)
I could be wrong, but I don't think we disagree.

However, I think most of the book is still worth reading, especially the history behind the demonitization of fat and the uselessness of "calories in, calories out." Taubes is at his best as a science historian and, obviously, not a scientist.
I think you're expecting to much for twentiy five dollars.

I don't remember details, but my colleagues at Merrill Lynch used to say you could look at somebody's APL code and tell if they came from Sharp (Toronto), IBM (Yorktown Heights or San Jose CA), STSC or Morgan Stanley.

In APL2, the equivalent to a lisp map was "each", it was a colon rotated to be horizontal and superscript. We used to have "each" contests, I always got destroyed.

And one of my (distant) friends got a summer job in high school, working for Iverson in Yorktown Heights, writing APL.
I've been building a small web app that complements my employer's industry without really being what I was hired for...so I was torn about whether he would seek to take possession.

I ultimately showed the app to my employer but not before having spent a weekend in the mountains really reflecting on what I'd want if it came down to negotiating with him. And first and foremost I wanted creative control. If he had decided that he was going to commandeer it (which I presumed would be his legal right, and I didn't want to get into a legal fight), then I was going to fight to at least manage the project in house.

We're not a tech company, and he is willing to let me build and manage it on my own...but it was very helpful for me to see that what I wanted was control.
Would love to get some insight into how and where you did this, local news isolation has been a real pain-point for me. Brilliant project, by the way - very clean.
iTunes is slow and buggy, especially on Windows. I used to be able to press Esc to shrink from a movie from full-screen to windowed, but after an update, it stops the video. Then if I restart it, it runs in full screen mode again which is quite surprising. If iTunes ever crashes or is quit, it won't remember your place in any of your files. Syncing iPods is a pain, especially when you try to find which podcasts you're syncing. And there's no way to get songs from your iPod onto your computer.
A fun tag to read on Google Blog
The “Social Reader” applications are the worst. All I end up doing is Googling the article title.

Amen to that. This is a pox on what should otherwise be a normal hyperlink.
That's a pretty useful example, can you share the code?
My main issue with the file system is hierarchy. I hate typing paths. Even if it's point and click, paths are still a nuisance. They require too much thinking. And to ask a novice to deal with paths, and having all these things in various locations, is I think unreasonable.

Apple once had a flat filesystem.

It seems crude but it's very fast. And it's simple. A list. Our minds can handle that with little trouble.

I actually try to make my filesystem as flat as possible. This allows me to glob for things. This is much faster than something more complex like using find or precalculated indices (e.g. codesearch).

It's not full on regex so it's something I could teach to a novice. I have some short scripts I wrote for locating files or lists of files and saving the path as a shell variable ("v"). Then you just do

app $v

Simple.

And the other thing, which Google has reminded us, is that to work with "big data" you may find you must transcend the limits of the filesystem. The way to do that is to simplify.

So to me the way forward is greater simplicity. But certainly not in the Steve Jobs Apple "lock down" sense. Where you can't get at the data unless you're using whatever Apple wants you to use. Where Apple devices cannot connect with non-Apple ones. Totally inflexible. And an unreasonable trade-off in exchange for whatever interface du jour Apple is offering.

It comes from here: http://www.worldwatch.org/files/pdf/Livestock%20and%20Climat...

I can cut this short for you. It's a lie dressed as calculation.

It calculates cow breathing for instance. And more heat produced while cooking meat compared to vegetables. Still they don't really show you the numbers.

EDIT: http://beyondmeat.com/ doesn't state how large environmental effect their product has.
Everything I care about the most in my life isn't on facebook. Nobody I know in the real world has much interest in anything I find fascinating.

Point being - I have no reason to post anything on facebook.
Based on the Obvious posting, I assume that Beyond Meat is targeted at all the meat-eaters who are saying things like, "I would love to become vegetarian... But I could never give up chicken." To get large quantities of people to drop meat you'll need a product that appeals to those that don't really want to.
TV: An Intervention
From my experience a lot of this is to do with people's "food culture" (I can't think of a better way to express that). People have ideas about what constitutes food or a "proper meal". (I've heard people say "My dad would be offended if I cooked him dinner and there wasn't any meat in it").

Give people something they recognise and they can handle it.

It's not just convenient to store and it, it's convenient to think about and fit into the (heavily marketed) idea of a proper meal (for vegetarians and vegans too).
Beyond Meat is people!
There goes our webOS port ...
> USA reading your mail: Business as usual.

According to the first paragraph of the article you linked:

"NSLs can only request non-content information, such as transactional records, phone numbers dialed or email addresses mailed to and from."

According to the sample NSL from the article you linked:

"We are not directing that you provide, and you should not provide, information pursuant to this letter that would disclose the content of any electronic communication. [...] Subject lines of emails and message content are content information and should not be provided pursuant to this letter."

So NSL is not the USA "reading your email."

I'm not defending the NSL, but I am opposed to misinformation, as well as the frequent attempts to paint the USA as being just as bad as China.
Well, I'm now a fan of Ruby; I learned it via RubyMotion :)
I've often wondered (and been asked) this. I haven't eaten meat for about twenty years now.

My wife and I purchase and eat plenty of fake-meat products. It's frankly, simple. Easy to prepare, easy to eat. Fairly high in calories and protein for effort-expended compared to many alternatives.

The other interesting question was posed by another commenter who asked why fake-meat in terms of flavors, instead of finding their own identity. The interesting thing is that I don't think most of these things have much flavor either way. Does chicken have much flavor? The veggie-chicken doesn't. It's more of a high-protein, high-calorie carrier of other flavors. Dip it in siracha, fry it and make orange 'chicken'. All in all it doesn't contribute much flavor to the meal, just substance.

All of that said, I think of it as junk food (not compared to meat, but compared to other vegetable based meals). I'd much rather get better about putting together more balanced dishes.
