I really doubt it has significantly better html5 support than the Android browser, if it's even better at all. But goal posts moving aside, your point was that Safari is somehow evidence that html is important to Apple, when viewed in the context of the entire industry it's above average. Lots of companies are doing good things with html in mobile, even Rim.
I disagree. C# Express 2010 is a fantastic, free way to start programming. No .Net devs I know do "Point-and-click" anymore, my VS environment is devoid of any toolbars/panes other than Solution Explorer, nuget CLI and build/debug ouputs. I've been in ruby land for the last year or so and nothing compares to VS.

.Net brings everything to the table from tools(ide, debugger, refactoring, unit testing, package managment) to language features(dynamic, LINQ) to platforms(mobile, desktop, web, cloud). Skills learnt this way are transferable to other platforms/languages.
Depends on where your taking off from but (YYT TO SNN) http://flights.expedia.ca/flights-from-st-johns-to-shannon-y...

= 1940.10 miles at 600MPH your at 3 hours 14 minutes not that there are any direct flights between those airports, but if your spending 12 billion on micro SD cards, I think you can charter an airplane and spend extra fuel going a little closer to top speed vs cruse.
So you would say that aggressive and uncivil contact was not a learned behaviour?

If I was without teachers and materials and I discovered the square wheel, does the fact that people with teachers are aware of the round wheel discount everything I achieved? I think not. It is still amazing, even if others can do it better.

I guess I'm just not quite seeing where you are coming from. It's not a question of what kind of materials are available, it's the idea that learning is impossible without them. The fact that these people could carry on any kind of interaction, even if done poorly by our society's standards, speaks to me that learning does occur despite what is available.

Every where people keep telling the newbies of the "Hacking" or programming world to keep contributing. If you contribute to open source projects, or scoure GitHub or BitBucket or any other the alternatives you'll certainly find something you can help out and you too can be someone acknowledged and famous and will be the best thing since slice bread. You'll be whisked away to Silicon Valley by entrepenuers hoping that you'll fulfill their wildest dreams. But how do you get there?

I've been around the computer for nearly a decade, programming in a variety of programming languages with ideas here and there but nothing that seems to have sparked the worlds attention. I work part time at a computer repair service for my university and spend most of my time managing servers, multiple Django applications, fixing various errors and searching through the Linux filesystem trying to find the one incorrect config file. But working part time at a computer repair center isn't going to give me any notariety besides around my work and university.

What do people suggest as a way of getting noticed? How can I really get my name out there? If I create a blog, how can I get peoples attention to actually want to come visit? My ideas might not be completely unique, but I always try and find a way to pull together something new.

OK, but that isn't what you wrote. It is one thing to say their actions "are" evil. Quite another to say the kids "are" evil.
I'm not going to defend them any more unless they start cutting checks but you have to admit that even if you don't think it is any good at least they are trying. You work in a windows shop you use whatever Microsoft gives you, we could still be stuck with Web Forms.
People are poor when a market doesn't employ capitalist methods.

In a purely capitalist job market the hardest working, most productive people would get paid the best and have job security.
For those saying this isn't solving a serious problem: my colleagues and I have just spent weeks trying to get a reliable recipe for a Vagrant dev environment that encompasses our interesting (and in some cases a bit old) Rails-based tech. stack.

If we were starting again from scratch, we'd pretty much all agree to outsource most stuff: use Heroku, GitHub, etc. And there are several people intersted in Action.io now too.
Not all of us think abolishing all software patents is the solution here. Don't think the entire industry agrees with you. Perhaps in the silicon-valley-startup-bubble, but that's about it.
And support the conscious ones? Pretty much every major tech company these days (Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Oracle, etc.) is evil in some ways and not in others. People are excited because Microsoft is one of the few tech companies with the resources to bring new choices to market on a large scale. Actively hoping for less competition seems rather myopic to me.

Who needs to leave Microsoft for you to stop cringing? Does it matter? Do you need to see the company fail before you're comfortable? What about the companies that hire their ex-employees? Will they become evil as well?

I'm a linux guy, but to Microsoft I say, "bring the noise!" In the end we'll all benefit.
IMHO, this attitude is equivalent the guys who lie to pick up girls. It affects everyone indirectly and justifies a bunch of douchebags to do the same (specially here on HN). And now some of us a a bit more cynical after discovering this. I don't understand how you are proud of it. It's very disappointing.

Great to see MMM on HN. If you haven't read at least his first 5 articles, you might enjoy doing that before finalizing your opinion on this recent one. Most of the naysaying comments here seem due to a lack of context.

MMM is semi-retired. Reaching and keeping that situation takes commitment, diligent work and cooperation. His site exists to share his methods for succeeding. That includes using existing financial tools to meet individual financial goals.

Credit cards are a great utility for many people, a life-saver for some during brief periods of need, and an enabler of long-term bad decision making habits for many others. MMM is squarely in the first cohort. Furthermore he advocates for and educates people in the prudent selection and use of credit cards. His list of offers was ranked by his review of the credit cards, not their referral deals. There is nothing untoward about that.
The reason I use vim is precisely what you have access to. OS X has vim, Linux has vim, and there are all different versions and ports of it. If not vim, then at least vi. Do I need all my plugins to be sufficient? No. Is it nice to have my customized look, yes.

In the end my productivity at any work station is not defined by which program I use, but how well I know the code. I try to not let my environment affect my workflow as much. If I sit down at any computer with some way of SSH, or a terminal emulator then I will be able to code my heart out.

One last thing I notice with vim, everything seems to be a keystroke away. Searching and moving the the next line, adding to the end of the current line, indenting the line, moving to the beginning of the line. It's so quick. Certainly every other editor out there has realized this and has the same features, but they are gummed up by the fact that they are always in insert mode. For me it is faster because I don't use left shift or control. Some people prefer emacs style bindings for everything they do. They don't mind throwing the left pinky down and hitting shift or ctrl. I find it so unusual so I find vim bindings much easier to become accustomed too.

Does that provide any help?
Thanks for the post. It's really sad that Google will not expose basic metadata, for enabling users to share videos on WP7.
I said most of them are boring and many are stupid. Just like poor people; just like average people.

I was simply replying to the commenter who said that most poor people he grew up with were boring and didn't want to learn. He then made the implicit or even explicit claim that if only poor people were less boring or more eager to learn, more of them would succeed. While perhaps true (though there are forces at work that make it hard for them), this isn't required of rich people. They can do well while being boring, lazy and stupid.

I certainly don't think the rich are somehow more boring or more stupid than the poor.
Ah, but where is the flamewar in that?
My experience has been that the earlier in life that someone is introduced to a technology, the easier it is for them to learn it. Kids these days pick up computers and the Internet very quickly, while many older people (esp. 60+) struggle to understand it. I think this is largely just a property of the human brain - our capacity to learn new things decreases with age.

I was fortunate enough to have a father who did pretty much the same thing as this guy. Growing up in the 80s, I was introduced to the DOS command-line, BASIC, Turbo pascal, building and upgrading my own computers, etc. I distinctly remember the day when I was 8 years old and asked my father, with no prompting, "Dad, how do you make programs?". This was 24 years ago and pretty much every day since then I've been working with computers in some form or another, completing three CS degrees, teaching the subject at university, and starting my own software company. I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if it wasn't for my father.

As a CS lecturer I've seen some students who come into the first year courses having never written a line of code before in their lives, and others who were writing their own games all through high school. While there are some exceptions, the latter group tend to do far better at their studies and also often just naturally do their own projects outside of formal study, which IMHO is critical for learning the subject properly.

I think getting kids into the technical aspects of computers at an early age gives them a tremendous head start over their peers who are playing Xbox and angry birds on their iPad. This guy is giving his kids two of the most important gifts of all - education and inspiration, of the sort they'll never get in school.

The "using your fingertips on a glass screen" meme as the best thing in the world to interact with a computing device has to die, too. Using an iPad to create stuff is just like trying to paint with spaghetti instead of a brush. Of course, you can do it, but it's just not the best way/tool.

Can you explain further? What do you mean by "closed" and "open" auction?

AFAIK, they outsourced the auction process to a third-party company specializing in conducting auctions. That company and the bidders colluded to defraud municipalities. Corrupt auctioneers also paid bribes to politicians to get hired as as auctioneers.

Do you really not see anything wrong with this picture?

Edit: Removed paragraph with analogy involving ebay. Analogies suck, and it didn't really apply here.
Yeah, actually, come to think of it the right metric might be valuation divided by age in years.

Transfer away as many customers as you can.

To those who don't respond the first time, give them an offer for an X% discount for loyalty or something of the such. When they try to take advantage of it, then ask them to give you billing information once again.

You should hit 99.9% with that, and either take a loss on the custoemrs left over or more likely keep the legacy customers alive for years on to come.

> HTML5 is not ready.

I am guessing there was serious effort behind this game, but... it doesn't even run on Firefox. One of the basic things in writing HTML5 apps is testing on multiple browsers, so I guess this was not tested much?. So I am not sure what to make of the seriousness of this project and how valid its conclusions ("HTML5 is not ready") are.

It's not obvious at all unless you're talking about a diversity of programming backgrounds in which case I agree. C++ doesn't work differently when it's used by a black or female programmer. Same goes for programming perspectives in general. I don't design my classes differently because I grew up in the inner-city (nor would I need to tailor an answer for someone who did). I think your taking an argument usually reserved for social environments that are more dependent on interaction and group dynamics (e.g. a classroom) and trying to apply it to a more static engineering one. And while that study did find that increased diversity improved performance on "business measures", it did not find a causal link that specifically pointed to diversity as the reason, although I'm not sure it would have much bearing here anyway. Being creative in a broader business/social context is not the same as solving the type of specific engineering/programming questions generally found on SO. Programming skill is completely divorced from race/gender/class and that's something we should all be happy about.
I have such a hard time with these studies that view everything through the lens of venture capital. What a horrible metric for sustainable business creation.

How many accelerator companies are breakeven, steadily growing businesses? Isn't there something to be said for stable ground? Cash positive, lateral expansion into markets and positions leveraged on traditional debt sources?

> How many of you were taught in school that if you pay yourself a minimum wage and make up the rest as a dividend/bonus you can avoid paying a significant amount of tax (legally)?

You shouldn't do that, it's not permissible under current tax rules… IRS requires that officer shareholders be paid a reasonable salary, and if you're making enough money to pay dividends, minimum wage will be hard to justify as "reasonable." I'm not sure how paying bonuses will help with tax avoidance as those are taxable like regular wage income.

Maybe what we need is less of a udacity for coding and one for business, expressed in a way anybody can understand but not as rigid as a bschool or mba program? Reading the Thiel lectures for instance is very educational but without the basics how do you apply something like that?
> Yet without that farmer growing his crops how would you eat? Without that garbage collector removing waste, how would you stay healthy? Without that secretary, how would your business function properly? It's these value judgements which really hurt us.

So, our society (which may or may not be structured around our competing cultures) has a mechanism for valuing these goods. We have the principles of economics - supply and demand. The things you mentioned are all objectively good to have. They're essential, even. But we've become very good at generating these goods. We've studied crops and health to maximize the good that these things provide, and we can now generate them with fairly little skill and effort. The reason that people who perform these ESSENTIAL tasks earn so little is that the supply of people ready and willing to do them is so great compared to the amount we need them to produce. If the supply of people who could perform these jobs decreased, or the demand for the goods they produce increased, the workers could demand higher wages.

I don't disagree that there are many factors that can and are used by "the rich" to keep "the poor" down, but I disagree that how society values these basic goods is really a significant source of this discrimination.
It sounds like you're talking more about things that could help middle class people. Very few poor people have issues that could be helped with "pay [themselves] a minimum wage and make up the rest as a dividend".

The wasteful quest for immortality
IRS only applies to US companies. Each country has it's own different loopholes that allow you to pay less tax if you're earning more. The big corps pay far less tax than they should.

Note to term, "tax avoidance". "Tax evasion" is illegal, but there are plenty of legal ways to avoid tax, many of which I'm not aware of myself, but will be grateful for anyone willing to share.

And that's a big part of it - people don't share the knowledge - it's "insider" knowledge, and you aren't in the club. The fewer that know, the more money those who do, can make.
The fact that any project that stresses HTML5 at all often behaves very differently in different browsers to the point where most HTML5 demos list a "works on this browser" message is a pretty good argument that HTML5 is not ready, IMO.
Someone please say something intelligent but not begrudging about the fact that only having to spend 27 days raising $1.1 million is such an abnormally short time frame that while interesting the "lessons learned" will probably not be transferrable to the vast majority of entrepreneurs.
