Ask HN: show new product by linking to the product or the blog?
What's the best way to show HN your new product: link to the product directly or link to you blog, explaining what your product is all about (giving some more information that could be relevant for HN readers), and then let the blogpost link to your product.

And why do you think so?
I notice you are trying to display quality, like HD1080 on this movie[1]. But doesn't this HD1080 label seem a little inconsistent with the file size?

Another example[2], variously tagged HD720 and HD1080, with the latter clearly wrong.

"because social norm dictates it so"

Agree (as my comment indicates). This is an auto response that is triggered upon hearing certain news. While a person might also have an emotion many times you say it to someone you don't even know and care about. People hear something and they instinctively act a certain way. I'm not saying everybody is like this of course.

Show HN: UIChamp, a fun way for designers to compete and learn
Any of those mysterious jump-to-somewhere-else code features resemble goto. Not that I don't think they clean up some nesting issues, but they're pretty much the same thing as goto.
My teammate Dane brought up this idea over lunch, and we hacked this out last night. We thought it would be really interesting if designers could submit their best ‘signup’ button and compete to see which one is most clickable. There are a lot of interesting places to go from here: design categories, vote tallying methods, and analysis of user demographics and their design preferences. We're both longtime readers of HN, and we'd love to get feedback from the community.
Custom-etched iPods mean a real customer has in fact paid full price for the product, so it can be shipped directly to the customer for less than the total cost of routing it thru the brick-and-mortar pipeline (truck to store, inventory, shelve, pay for store space & utilities, pay in-store staff overhead, etc.).
Buckminster Fuller did a lot of work in this area, way back when. He's probably best known for the geodesic dome, but did a lot of other stuff as well. One of his other projects was a preformed, all-metal (copper, I think) bathroom in which all the surfaces were smoothly curved (no corners to catch crud) and which had the plumbing hookups in standard locations (a bolt-on, as it were). Then there was the Dymaxion House, designed to be mass-produce in the same factories that were producing aluminum-bodied aircraft.

There are numerous problems with innovation in construction -- building codes and trade union resistance being two of them. Building codes are often written in such a way as to exclude nonstandard materials altogether. "Component X must be made of 2x6 lumber" (a "prescriptive" building code) rather than "component X must be capable of withstanding a load of Y pounds with a safety factor of Z" (a "performance" building code). An advantage of that is that building inspectors don't have to be engineers. The disadvantage is that it's hard/expensive/impossible to do something that isn't in the book.

Another problem is that there's still something of a "trailer park" stigma associated with prefab construction.
Definitely, definitely, very strongly on our TODO list.

Consider this a first step :)
Hey, thanks for replying.

I have a stackoverflow profile, and I do try to reply to questions, but my ratio of questions asked to questions answered is 6:1.

That's because for me, as an intermediate programmer, most questions fall on one of these two categories:

- Incredibly easy: Anyone can answer these.

- Incredibly hard: Really above my skill level.

I am not an accountant, but i think this calculation is correct. http://files.shareholder.com/downloads/AAPL/1903881931x0x563...:

Cost of sales: 20.6 billion

Inventories : 1.1 billion

Cost of sales is what they spend to buy the stuff they sell.

20.6/1.1 is about 18, so they have to sell their inventory 18 times in a quarter. A quarter has about 90 days; 90/18 = 5.

It is possible that they force their inventory down a bit at end of quarters to make the figures look better, but I doubt Apple in its current form will find that worthwhile.

> We calculated these times from the report's "Inventory Turn" metric, which estimates the number of times a company's inventory is sold in a given time period. Apple's number is 74, according to Gartner (or 76, according to Forbes). From there, it's a common practice to divide by 365 to "estimate the number of days [of] sales sitting in inventory."

Shouldn't it be 365 divided by the number of times per year they sell their average inventory?

They're going to have the reciprocal of the actual answer. Like, if it takes an entire year to sell off their inventory then their formula will give you 1 day turnover.

You are leaving out a rather glaring example. Neither atomic bomb, dropped by the one and only country ever to use them, were dropped on military targets.

The "Democracies" of the world kill many innocent civilians, an order of magnitude in fact than any terrorist related event if you really want to compare the two. Not because the people running them are cartoonishly evil or anything, it simply reflects the massive imbalance of military power between us and whoever the terrorist are supposed to be. It's cloaked in talk of noble intentions and euphemistically referred to as collateral damage. I doubt it makes a difference to the populations affected whether they were an intentional target, or the gps on the smart bomb that just leveled your house glitched out.
Gazelle is awful, and far too many private trackers use it.
I didn't think of it outside the realm of startups. However, it's obvious that there are people who cannot stop themselves from building something, while others are more driven by preserving existing value for posterity (e.g. ancient art or buildings, perhaps even the environment). It's clear to me that society needs both.

Also, I think some of the best leaders are neither guardians nor builders by my definition. They are exceptionally good at inspiring others to take one course of action or the other as needed. Perhaps we could call them Charismatic Communicators?
It appears they "acquired" Realtek's code signing certificate. Can Realtek bring action against the U.S. for stealing the certificate?

Edit: For stealing the private key, I mean.
I'm a recruiter. I also used to be a programmer, so perhaps I'm not entirely typical, but I actually really enjoyed this format, in general (though I agree with another commenter about how it's a bit harder to scan for salient information than ye olde LinkedIn profile).

Anyway, the reason I enjoyed this format is that I look at huge stacks of resumes on a regular basis, and most of them are completely soulless piles of keywords/buzzwords. Anything that breaks up the monotony and screams, "I am passionate about something" is going to stand out.
You make a good point, and while I don't know the answer, maybe online sales play a part in their turnover rates? And it's possible that some large stores (think NYC) have 2-3 day turnovers, with others being slower?

Like I said, I don't know, but those are two variables I can think of.
That link shows what countries are exporting weapons to other countries. This isn't the same as "supporting terrorism," as the parent clearly states. Iran directly supports groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, etc.

@PlanetGuy,
You would be surprised how much SEO best practices you need to successfully launch a project nowdays. I see so many startups with great concepts, clean code and user excitement, but if you fail to be returned in the search engines for queries your potential user base is looking for, your growth might be limited to the viral word of mouth.

That's where the so called "viral" strategies come in, leveraging the social integrations and viral sharing described in the article. Quick hacks to gain the user growth you need to become a viable business.

A great launch plan does incorporate good SEO and search visibility. Denying SEO is adding value for your projects/startup or company because there are scumbags out there, is IMHO putting you at a disadvantage vs your competition who are looking and taking advice from people like John!

There have been plenty of insightful discussions here at HN about the need for SEO. Rather than spilling negativity and dismissing a valuable service, you might want to try to listen and learn something.
Backups are redundancy out of firing range of problems like, say, hard drive meltdown, operator error, etc.

I've had gruntled employees, occasionally myself, run some variant of 'rm -rf' unintentionally far more often than I've had to deal with the other sort.

If you feel my grandparent post was advocating against backups, I'd strongly suggest you re-parse it. It's distinguishing between varieties of redundancy.

c'mon man, if you want others to take you seriously, how can you make such a general statement.. it's all marketing - aligning present services/products with consumer needs.. There are some marketers who understand it's about people, which doesn't involve questionable practices.
Ordering might be improved by also using the IMDB rating. If it's an old movie that has a low score, I'm probably not interested. If it scores well, it's probably still quite popular and thus of interest.

Maybe you can signal the type of the release with an icon?

I'm very interested in what you come up for curation, good luck with that!
At one point special warfare was also considered taboo, now it is the U.S.'s bread and butter. Unfortunately while our nation recognized the need to develop our black ops capabilities early on, we are a bit late to the party when it comes to cyber-warfare.

When it comes to international conflict, right and wrong are often subjective. Of course someone who is hostile towards the west is going to feel justified about his actions. If he didn't feel justified, he wouldn't maintain those beliefs. Unfortunately for him, feeling justified doesn't make you correct. While many countries dislike some of the United States' actions (often rightfully), almost the entire world hates everything about violent extremists.

If the President thinks that a cyber-attack will prevent a war, (that would be far more costly to both sides than the ones we are already in) it would be immoral for him not to take action. I don't like many of the things that Obama does, (or any politician) but he strikes me as a person who really does want to do the right thing and prevent the needless loss of life.
If you don't mind me asking...where (and maybe how) are you pulling the super high quality images for each movie page background?
I think the scrolling page numbers isn't the best. I would go stick to the traditional 1|2|3|4|5|...|29|30
I think it's worth acknowledging the branding problem identifying yourself as an SEO consultant creates. You're obviously a competent marketer - not just a channel expert - so you may want to rethink your presentation of yourself.

Not working in konqueror and midori. In opera I had to hit enter twice - but only once, then it worked normally.

Background images that are even bigger than 700 KB and every single click on a link has a new one? Is that really necessary?

While the search is all nice and stuff, what about browsing available stuff? Is that an intentionally lacking feature because you say "please don't download content that you haven't bought" anyway?
Why do some programmers think there is a contrast between theory and practice?
"consumer-grade antivirus products can’t protect against targeted malware created by well-resourced nation-states with bulging budgets"

Sorry - NO. These aren't some super secret stealth aircraft needing special materials and billions of $ to develop. They are programming the same Windows targets using the same compilers, generating the same instructions using the same system calls. Yes they were clever to target the particular facility and to hide the code. But they didn't build anything that some other malicous hacker couldn't build.

"And the zero-day exploits used in these attacks are unknown to antivirus companies by definition."

I must try that excuse. The bugs in my software are by definition unknown so I can't be expected to have fixed them.

So exactly what is the point of virus scanners? If all they are doing is checking for the obvious signatures in email attachments called "naked pictures of whoever readme.exe" to look for well known threats isn't the solution simply for the user to not be a moron?

I searched for the film 8 1/2 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056801/)

Two things:

1. The director's first name is wrong.

2. No results (maybe due to the ½ symbol.)

Graphite/carbon/whisper is a rrd like tool - you give it a number of ticks labelled with a certain metric (facebook.photo.upload) and it counts the incoming ones over a fixed period, averages them, stores the average and goes on and on. Then it draws you a graph over those periods

this is great for "what is normal" and "something has changed over past 5 mins, 5 days, 5 weeks"

some things you want on your dashboard are absolutes that don't vary well with time (cash on hand/ assets vs liabilities)

also the whisper database is awkward to query if you are not aggregating - so you cannot store which customers actually responded to which email campaign - that needs a real RDBMS

So it's really good for watching stuff over time - like you used to use tail -f for. But other stuff needs to be captured robustly and then maybe time graphed

tl dr

Some things are trends - you want to know easily and quickly which ones are going up, and when the trend goes haywire. Use graphite et al.
other things are "action this day" - trend or not you need the email addresses of all users on the blue campaign.

Using UDP you lose a not insignificant number as well
The problem is not when a country does that - it's when a loosely organized bunch of normal-looking lunatics all over the world does it.

Moore's Law of Mad Science.
That's half the answer. In reality much of the efficiency gain due to technology is going to the employer rather than the employee. Even if you were content with a 1960's lifestyle, it would take more hours to support than the technology gains would suggest.

It's probably a matter of style at some level.

I hate this style (from the article):

if (...) {
if (...) {
...
} else {
if (...) {
...
} else if (...) {
...
} else {
...
}
}

and prefer this:

if (...)
{
if (...)
{
...
}
else
{
if (...)
{
...
}
else if (...)
{
..
}
else
{
...
}
}
}

The first example is confusing and hard to read. The second is clean and easy to read.

As to the question of optimization, that's a different matter. Lots of tricks can be used to compress code into fewer statements on a case by case basis:

if(pushbutton == 0)
{
led = 12;
}
else
{
led = 24;
}

can become

led = (pushbutton == 0) ? 12 : 24;

or

led = (pushbutton * 12) + 12;

or

led = 12 * (pushbutton + 1);

etc.
The header isn't called "tracking permission", it's "Do Not Track", an explicit negative. Genius move on MS part though. By making DNT too detrimental for advertisers to implement, they ensure no one will implement it, which means they will also be able to ignore it.
So everyone clicks "no" (or gets confused and asks a technical relative), Firefox always sends the DNT header, so no sites respect it.
Well there's really nothing Microsoft can do about that, is there?

It seems silly for marketing firms to tell everybody, "Oh yeah, we're totally serious about privacy and we'll honor DNT," and then backtrack when lots of browsers start sending it.

It's not Microsoft looking bad here.
Thanks, it is really motivating to hear this. I'll definitely keep working on it and there are some planned features which I didn't even mention yet, I just need to find the time to develop them. Support for other languages is currently not the primary goal but it could be implemented later.
Fair enough there, Josh. I actually usually introduce myself as an online marketer, because I do a lot of other sorts of marketing too - content, CRO, and social. I started in SEO and technically work for an SEO consultancy, but our tagline is "Smarter Online Marketing". It's a work in progress :-)
