For your use case, people use Facebook and word of mouth. College towns are social enough and close in proximity enough they don't need these sorts of apps. VT is my alma mater and I guarantee you I would have not used an app to tell me where to drink.

To mythbusters:

Yes, when you combine a non-PC (the iPad) with the PC market there is growth. When you subtract the non-PC from the "PC market" there is negative growth. Trying to make the iPad's success somehow a sign that the PC market is growing is the funniest thing I've read on HN to date.

And sure, the Surface might invigorate Microsoft, and prove a worthy competitor to the iPad, both in terms of sales, as well as in terms of capability and usability. But regardless of whether it succeeds, it has no bearing on growing the PC market, nor on whether current users of PCs will upgrade to Windows 8.
Yes, it seems an oversight for the article to focus only on the labor cost issue, and not the more obvious point of a US presence to dilute the "Boeing is the only American choice" argument.

Thanks for the explanation! Having never dealt with internet advertisers I didn't realize there was as much to it as there is :)
Which I've already clarified as well as described several different ways, you're just being pedantic.
>I'm not trying to do anything of the sort, so stop it. Your position is reprehensible enough without you trying to pull a stunt like that.

But you've done the same thing with this post! "So stop it." Your strawmen and ignorance are reprehensible enough without pulling stunts, etc. etc. etc.

True, my post mentions public opinion mutliple times, mostly to demonstrate that the narrative of gay rights activists that "religious people are forcing" their views upon the gay community is not only false but in fact the opposite of the reality. It is not, however, a fundamental component of most of my reasons for opposing gay marriage. It was mentioned that gay rights activists would have far more success in gaining the same privileges if they were content with civil unions due to public opinion against the equivocation of straight and gay relationships, but that's about it as it pertains to actual involvement in rationale.

So, if this is such a blatantly incorrect position, why don't you address some of the real rationale above. If you find the supply of rationale insufficient due to the necessity to construct a correct context of events for the reader, I can post more.

>We'll say nothing about the fact that the trend of public opinion seems to be inexorably towards more tolerance and less bigotry, as that would just make your reliance on popular opinion even more farcical.

Perhaps you mean towards more permissiveness and less intelligence, fidelity, loyalty, etc. "Bigotry" is not meaningful when its definition is "incomplete moral relativism".

i think it is a cool idea. i had a similar idea a few years ago, where you could take bar data like beer and food prices, and make an app collect a bunch of data, and then make a recommendation engine using the data. I started to build it and found out quickly that getting that data was a lot harder than i thought (most of the bar menus were pdfs of images, and could not be mined of text). Since then, foursquare has come out with the explore feature, which is very similar, but as far as i can tell, they are no using bar items (food,beer,price) as features for their recommendation engine. Your idea is cool, but I bet it will be a pain in the ass to scale.
Of course not, since I could not even begin to think [Rails and Spring] are related.

Sure they are.

Spring is the Java community's effort to get some of that dynamic programming goodness (ahem).

Rails is the Ruby community's effort to reproduce the unmaintainable mess of J2EE.

You couldn't have one without the other.
I agree. Sitting in a 90-degree apartment without power while working on our mobile platform is not the most code-friendly environment.
On a different note, establishments will soon (possibly this week) be able to edit their establishment listing from mobile. We're also trying to get user feedback on specials so we'll know which prices are out of date in case the bars forget to update them.
No worries!

This whole issue is way lower-level than anything I deal with on a regular basis so the whole time I've been looking at it from the very general perspective, eg. 'a cpu instruction' rather than 'the specific cpu instruction used by operating systems to switch to user mode on 64-bit processors, originally implemented by AMD and later implemented by Intel in accordance to the spec but differing in implementation' as happened here.
Maybe. Depends on what kind of protection my life savings can get me, and whether I have anything else to do. :)
So, three years after its release, Win7 has finally begun to overtake WinXP, an 11 year old operating system. And this article is quick to point out that Win7 may not yet have a true majority of PC users yet.
Sorry, composable operations and models firing events is bullshit. The article is somewhat correct in that true MVC is dead in practice, however, service oriented architectures have already filled this void.

Eventing is HORRIBLE. Regardless of the source, but models especially are not the place to be firing events.

This was all tried years ago. Before writing an article purporting to replace a foundational concept in application development maybe do a little more research into what the actual practical solutions to these factoring problems are.
I think what the OP was saying was they DO have cookies enabled, and still saw an error.
At Virginia tech there are only a handful of bars, and generally by the second semester of your senior year you know where you are going on which days. Getting people back to this is,vouch less to the site to begin with, is going to be hard.

Most students don't go to a bar for cheap drinks. They go there because their friend or the cute girl they like asked them to go or will be there. For that, only one person makes the decision where to go and when it comes to web volume that does not play out very well.

Franzen (the linked article) discusses the justification for surrendering the user's public tweets but not the user's private information. Judge Sciarrino's decision distinguishes between these tweets and the user's "non-content" private information, finding that "The law governing compelled disclosure also covers the above mentioned non-content records." This law is 18 USC 2730[c][1][B], which is fairly straightforward.

http://law.onecle.com/uscode/18/2703.html

In short, this is no big deal. The information was legally subpoenaed in connection with a criminal investigation. I think this is only on the front page because it has the words "Twitter", "Occupy", and "Forced" in the title.
Yeah, it sounds like an absolutely ridiculous ruling. The judge compares a tweet to shouting something out a window. Which is a perfectly good analogy. But then in his analogy, since you shouted it out the window of the Twitter Bar, now months later that establishment is required to turn over all its CCTV recordings and information on you to the DA
The great thing about drinking is that it's an inherently social experience. Where are my friends going? What great deals or events can I find -- and show off to everyone I know?

Then there's the power of the crowd. One extra customer is great for a bar, sure. But 20 people coming in as a group? That's worth offering a steep discount to. Social deals meet the super variable, high-margin world of nightlife.

The privacy concerns are overblown. Mixpanel doesn't magically "know" stuff about your users - they only know what you tell them. And you only know what your users tell you. You won't know someone's email address or (maybe) real name unless they have registered an account. You won't know someone's gender unless that's part of the profile creation process on your site. Etc. Mixpanel is just making it easy to analyze this data in their interface by giving you the ability to send this data to them.
Microsoft: Don't overclock Windows 8 unless you like our new BSOD

We're not about trying to replace the experience of word-of-mouth drink specials. We just want to make that happen even easier. In larger cities it is difficult to keep track of drink specials for all of the bars (especially when they change so often), and many times I find specials on the site that I didn't know existed or have changed from what I thought they were. When you go out with friends, you usually go with a small group because it is hard to plan otherwise, why not make it easier? Also, your use case doesn't apply to grocery store or liquor specials...that I know of.
Agree. My best friend is moving to another state, 16 hours away. I skypechat with him on a daily basis, and he knows me like a brother. I haven't "seen" him in over two years, and when I joked that he was going to leave town without saying goodbye, he said "what will be different?"

He was right, nothing is different. It's like friends back in the 1800s exchanging letters. Doesn't mean that our friendship is less because we don't go out on Fridays and pound down a few pints.

In contrast, the people I work with, I spend far more time with, and interact directly with more frequently than my friend. Yet I wouldn't consider any of them friends.
We're talking about law. Quit trying to use reason.

It's instructive how quickly you decide that public opinion is worthless when you don't have it on your side.

The version of you, 150 years ago. would be saying the same thing about black people.

Google sees advantage in making new gadget in USA
I'm very aware of Fowler's write ups. That one is a pretty good summary. In that it's descriptive, but IMHO is completely unactionable (prescriptive).

I've written a direct manipulation vector structured graphics program. Think FreeHand / Illustrator with a scenegraph. I tried every which way to make something MVC esque. No can do.

I believe, but cannot prove, that the MVC failing(s), eg tight coupling, unclear flow of control, comes from the Observer/Listener like message passing between the players.

Further, I believe some future UI paradigm will be a hybrid, mutant love child, inspired by, of functional reactive programming and an VRML-97 like event model (FROM->TO style patchcord event routing). It's on my to do list, but I'm easily distracted and followed thru.
I know hating FB is all the rage (and sometimes well deserved) but you're attributing your feelings about FB to all the users. Failbook.com isn't indicative of all the FB users.
I agree with you in the general case.

I looked at the AMD and Intel specs to see that both use the CPUID instruction function 80000001H to set bit 11 in EDX if SYSRET is supported. Because both AMD and Intel 64-bit processors support the same general instruction set, software written to check only bit 11 could easily run into the scenario I described. Again, I do not know best practices in detecting CPU features, but I do know software developers often tend towards the least necessary to do the the job.
How is this "absolutely ridiculous"? The government is investigating someone they suspect committed a crime and issued a subpoena to get more information. It's how the system is supposed to work.

Maybe so. I guess I don't drink enough to adopt software that saves me a couple bucks on a drink. When I buy alcohol in a store I go for convenience unless I'm buying single malt scotch. And if I'm going out with friends I choose atmosphere and selection over price. Just my input. Good luck.
I see mobile gaming as an entirely new field which can be explored. Mobile devices dont have the specs or controls to be considered true competitors to PC / console gaming.

While better consoles have killed off vast amounts of PC gaming exclusivity i don't think mobile devices will impede to much on traditional games.

> The only problem is how to present this in the interface without confusing users and generating unnecessary clutter.

Since what you want is literally no different than creating an account (except perhaps the existence of a password), why not just make an account? Rather than remember or store an "anonymous user URL," just choose a username and remember or store that. Allowing username creation without requiring a password is a great idea for something like this.
As dweis mentioned here, I am working on something like this for the NYC area: http://www.moredrunk.com - it is still in early development but I will definitely post an update to HN when it's more stable and polished.

Edit: However, I am not keeping track of happy hour deals since that requires a new data source that I haven't figured out yet. Ideally, I'd have establishments give me the data but the site doesn't have the ability or userbase for yet.

I like the implementation of The City Swig, and I'll be sure to keep it in mind when working on my own, (NYC-based) project. Keep up the good work!
I would have loved to have scene what Rob would have said in the next hour. I feel like every time I see a talk or slides about Go, I get giddy that I might get to see more patterns or more "good ways to use channels effectively". I enjoy Go but I still find myself writing things several times with channels before it's as clean an readable as I like.
I think this is very exciting and I love that they're targeting the cheaper market and also emerging markets where Android, iOS and Blackberry tend to cost too much and Symbian is losing marketshare.
"Cheap" and "best value" is a subtle difference right now. But we're moving toward keeping track of the average market prices of items... and then "best value" becomes those offerings that are most reduced from the average.
So I had a similar idea about six months ago. Briefly start working on the app when I was informed by a lawyer friend of mine that most states had laws against advertising drink specials.

Interested if you have looked in to this at all, especially because googling "laws against advertising drink specials" brings up this http://www.wtop.com/41/2821800/Vas-happy-hour-law-makes-some... as the first result.

On a broader scale I guess this brings up two points:
1) have the owners of this site considered this issue yet?
2) Is it sometimes better to just build it and worry about the legal ramifications later (to a point)?

There is a flawed assumption that opening up the floodgates will flood the village. There is a very small coterie of people that can, and will, use their influence to maintain interest in a project over time. For most of us, no one really cares enough about what we're doing anyway. So, by turning away one potential user b/c they don't have an invite code, you are hurting yourself...maybe more so than a buggy, but still usable UX might.

That being said, my current startup project http://www.browsemob.com has an invite code to get into our beta, even though I put it in our signup video and all over the net.

As the judge noted, there are different standards for the subpoena depending on whether there is a "reasonable expectation of privacy" in the information being subpoenaed, because the Stored Communications Act of 1986 adds certain extra requirements on when an ISP may release materials that fall under the latter category.

What was in dispute here wasn't that some information was subpoenaed following proper procedure, but that the judge held that the "proper procedure" in this case was the procedure for public information in which there isn't a "reasonable expectation of privacy", while Twitter was arguing that the subpoena was requiring them to disclose things that were not in fact public information.

You could always get in to bed with pubs and bars and offer a "order a tab" form on your site. Or hell, make the tab city wide. User puts a 50$ tab on, your system integrates with the pubs/clubs who buy drinks against the tab and you take a small percent.
