It'd be interesting to see how these connections are made when the sender's email address is not associated with a Facebook account, though.

You think FB isn't in (or aspiring to) negotiations with ConstantContact, CampaignMOnitor, MailChimp, etc.? Triangulating preferences, deep dives, data warehousing, you name it.

I can't imagine why they decided email addresses now needed two layers of privacy controls. First layer = who can see this, second layer = is it visible on timeline. If I didn't want it visible on the timeline, why wouldn't I just select "Only me" on the first option...? Am I trying to keep my email private from myself?

They also only made the change for email addresses -- not IM usernames, etc. If the two layers were to help with privacy somehow, why not apply it to everything?
Start Up Chile staff are very open to people living in different parts of the country and work to make the program fit with what your start up needs. Attending SUP events, Meetups, and other events are a critical part of the program, but joining via Skype, phone, or other technology methods is generally just fine.

FUTURE 2 B
You might be less curious if you had read and understood the talk. Relevant text:

"That way of thinking just isn't the way Go operates. Zero cost isn't a goal, at least not zero CPU cost. Go's claim is that minimizing programmer effort is a more important consideration."

In a language with closures and Go-style goroutines and channels, the amount of programmer effort required to manage memory would be absolutely immense without a garbage collector.

I believe that "less" as Rob Pike means it doesn't have to do with the complexity of the underlying runtime (though I suspect he'd like that complexity to be as small as possible while getting the job done), but rather the amount of complexity the programmer using the language has to worry about when constructing programs in the language.
In the US, one could argue some churches do the same. They get a lot of breaks for government outreach contracts and are generally non-profit entities.

I'm a non-mormon living in Salt Lake City, Utah, so I might be biased against churches though.
Covered by Go FAQ: http://golang.org/doc/go_faq.html#garbage_collection

"Another point is that a large part of the difficulty of concurrent and multi-threaded programming is memory management; as objects get passed among threads it becomes cumbersome to guarantee they become freed safely. Automatic garbage collection makes concurrent code far easier to write. Of course, implementing garbage collection in a concurrent environment is itself a challenge, but meeting it once rather than in every program helps everyone.

Finally, concurrency aside, garbage collection makes interfaces simpler because they don't need to specify how memory is managed across them."
It makes sense when you realize that churches are tax-exempt, i.e. the reap all the benefits without paying any of the costs, and that this is made possible by the payments of taxpayers.
Nevar, evar?
I'll believe it when I see it - anyone have examples of well-written Go compared side-by-side to well-written C++ to show how it is "more expressive"?

Anyway, the benefit to small languages is that it's much easier to design and reason about a consistent and reusable set of language features. The result is overall a superior design, but worse in programmer productivity. Saying "less is more" is just a Turing tarpit.

Based on reading another post here, I think other e-mail addresses can still be retrieved via Facebook APIs if the user grants permission for them. I was thinking only about the timeline display and the general open graph use cases and neglected the "give extra permissions" open graph use case. Still, I don't see a good reason why there would be differentiation between what is displayed and what is given by the UI (after accounting for who is being shared with) for e-mail addresses versus those other fields.
Growing my company down here in Chile has been an amazing experience. Like Ian's comment, I was also in a bit of a rut in the States. The international experience alone is critical to any good business - especially if you are from the US where the mentality is much more single-nation focused.

I've seen more opportunity here for actual business entrepreneurship - more than just an app or webpage - than I've seen elsewhere in the world. I'm a big fan of the business environment in Chile for both growing your existing start up or possibly ditching your brilliant idea in favor of an even better one you discover here!

The networking and mentorship will improve with time, but the LatAm networking is unlike anything in the States. In Chile, there's a good chance the person standing next to you is only two phone calls away from the President of a major company.

Board an airplane in America, and all will be revealed. We are ridiculously entitled people, and by extension our children are precious special little gemstones who shouldn't have to be impinged upon by such trivial things as the entire rest of the world. I haven't spent enough time in other countries to know whether we are unique in this regard, but I know it is true for us, and it's honestly pretty disgusting to me.
It would be interesting to know if Rob and company would be using the language if they weren't also the compiler developers.

It's one thing to trust a language with "less" features when you own the compiler and runtime, but another entirely when you do not. Rob and company have the backdoor that any time the compiler is not generating code that is as good as they expect, they can fix it _quickly_! Speaking as a compiler writer myself (albeit a research compiler, Manticore), ownership dramatically changes your attitude towards using a language. Optimization limitations become "small bugs to fix when you run into them" rather than a "reject this tool as unusable" issue.
I bet it did if you click "Edit." I bet that your other email addresses are there and are marked as "Hide on Timeline."

This is just one opinion, it is difficult to extrapolate, but there is some truth. In particular, Asian-American parents have a reputation for being strict, although I have no direct experience of this (I am white). Google "tiger mom" for the alternate take on modern American child-rearing.

But, to answer your question, in my experience, a good 25% of American moms are just ....... crazy. This messes up the whole family dynamic, the husbands start giving into the demands of the wife, the kids see that father does whatever mom tells him to do, the kids start to order father around, and so on.

Also, American feminism bears on this topic. You have to look at the history of the Feminist movement in America to understand the context of this article. In particular, you have to understand why Rush Limbaugh can utter the word "Feminazi".
This is absolutely a problem with C++ and a problem that Go neatly sidesteps via simplicity.

In my career as a C++ programmer (thankfully, I almost never write C++ code anymore), I've met lots of people who used it only as C-with-classes, others who used many more features but avoided templates, others who used templates but only via the STL, others who went whole-hog with template metaprogramming; some who use exceptions for basic flow control, others who avoid that but still use exceptions for exceptional circumstances, some who avoid exceptions altogether, etc.

Having each person use their own subset of the language is fine and dandy if you live in an ivory tower and never need to interface with another developer's code, but of course that is not at all how software development works anymore and eventually you'll be in a situation where you have two chunks of C++ code you need to couple together and they have almost completely alien interfaces to each other (lack of string as a built-in language type also contributes to this greatly, especially since many people avoided the STL for so long).

Go makes a lot of these decisions for you in a way such that doing things in the non-Go way is actively difficult while doing things the Go-way is nearly painless.

If you come into the language wanting to write it like C++ or any other language and you insist that it bend to your will, you probably won't like it. If you come into it with an open mind you start to really appreciate the ways in which it has made decisions for you. Even if you don't agree 100% with the decisions it made, the reasons why those decisions were made can always be reasoned out and the consistency enforced by those decisions is well worth the learning curve it takes to get used to them (IMO).
I'm a different person and I haven't tested it, but I would think it would ignore the new "show on timeline" field when retrieving via the API which would in effect return whatever e-mail addresses it used to return in addition to (assuming people don't change their settings) the new @facebook.com address.

It would be great if someone would check this, though.

We won 30K grant, what do we spend it on?
Hi hn, our team won a local 30K entrepreneurial grant, we have 3 months to use as much of it as we can.
Our product is still in the early stages, so an advertising shopping spree might not be the best idea.
Should we be wasting money on expensive legal fees and documents? Even before we made any sales?

Since we do all the development in house, don't have a lot of stuff we can/need outsource. Hiring more people is not an option because when the money will run out, i don't think we will be able to keep them.
Obviously we are trying to use the grant for paying our own bills, but we are just scratching the surface off.
What would be the best "bang for the buck"? We MUST use this cash, can't invest it, use it or lose it.

Thanks!

Hitting your kids is parenting for amateurs or dummies. Anytime I catch myself with the urge to hit I remind myself I'm a lot smarter than those little shits (whom I love immensely) and its just a matter of calmly reminding them of their incentives, both negative and positive. The same holds true for yelling. I find that having them look in my eyes and speaking very quietly and calmly accomplishes a lot more. YMMV.

The sad thing is that Facebook probably thought "Hidden from Timeline" was the appropriate setting since every opt-out thing they've done in the past has bit them in the ass. Now they do an opt-in for "Shown on Timeline" and they get bitched out.

The only unfortunate thing is that you cannot see emails to which you should have access to that are not marked as "Shown on Timeline". Complain about bad UX, not a security (in some ways) setting that is opt-in.
The article is poorly written. Points 1 and 2 are about knowing yourself and your own rhythm, making one think the article is about caring for one's own mental health while working long hours. Point 3, however, is about long hours being performed by one's employees.

That third point makes it sounds like the article is not about a person who has themselves worked ridiculously hard, but about someone who has cracked the whip over people working ridiculously hard, giving advice to others who want to do the same thing. Understandably, people are a lot less sympathetic to this!

I wonder if he's having issues with being denied access to certain venues. The reason why ticketmaster and the rest can get away with those fees is because they give a kickback to the venue owner. The venue owner can tell acts to get lost if they don't go through the ticket vendor that gives them $5 per ticket for nothing. Obviously CK is a huge act and you can't blacklist him, but you may need his level of star power to pull this trick off. Even Pearl Jam couldn't do this and they were hugely popular. Maybe stand-up venues aren't as greedy/stupid.

Let me give you a South Asian one then. I was a pampered little brat who was waited on hand and foot. The only requirement be that I maintain good grades. This of course came to bite me hard when I had to live alone at the age of 16 in a totally different country and go to school. So I don't think other cultures have some magical secret sauce that turn out well behaved polite little children.

In fact, the only thing to infer from that silly article whose statistical methodology I would be extremely suspicious about, is that some individuals know how to raise their kids properly and some don't. After all, it doesn't take much to produce a child (just a few minutes of whoopee). :-)

Aaron Swartz's guide to developing software from idea to architecture
Interesting, does this essay convey to you that the manual labourer is doomed and Russell's being a pessimist? I got quite the contrary from it (advocating some sort of socialist state), on par with wilde's [the soul of man under socialism](http://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/wilde-oscar/soul-m...)

Or are you referring to other writings by Russell? I have to confess that besides this essay and "proposed roads to freedom" I've read little of his own stances.
I'm a first generation American (parents immigrated) and my wife and I are currently raising our daughter in the US, and so I think I have both an American and non-American perspective to some extent. (warning: this is based on a data point of 1)

First, I do think American kids are spoiled (and I prob am spoiling my daughter no matter my desire not to). I don't think this is an American thing necessarily and prob more of a wealth/prosperity/Maslow's hierarchy thing.

My parents were the typical immigrant story. They came here with nothing, knew nobody and so they worked to make it. There wasn't time to "find oneself" or just do what makes you happy or to read about how to parent in some magazine. And so the ethos in our house was you work hard and you get what you deserve as a result. There was no tolerance for whining, entitlement and tantrums and there was an appreciation for what we had that was instilled in us. For example, I was told to only take as much as food I could eat at dinner and that I could not get up until I finished every bit of food I chose to take. I would fall asleep at the table some times eating cold food 3 hours afterwards. Not fun at the time, but there was to be an appreciation for how fortunate we are. Some might view this as draconian but it's now somewhat oddly a fond memory of mine from childhood.

But I think scarcity of resources (translation: not being wealthy/materially prosperous) doesn't allow one to be spoiled and gives one perspective which is often what seems to be lost.

Now I fast forward to today, and I see tons of parenting advice which almost tries to make parenting a paint by numbers effort, a kids culture of "everybody is a winner" and conspicuous consumption (bigger bday parties, expensive strollers, etc) that suggest to folks that good parenting is possible out of a book of academic studies, is driven by always being encouraging and giving your kid material crap. And its this cocktail of things that seems to lead to spoiled kids.

This is a stream-of-consciousness rant so apologies for that.

Yes, it is practically guaranteed this locks him out of numerous larger venues that have exclusive ticketing deals. A price he's willing to pay clearly.
Indeed, he says as much in the message: it was a real challenge to find venues around the country that could work with our exclusive ticketing service under these perameters [sic]
I imagine using Go to write high-performance code or interact well with system libraries is not easier or simpler than a C++ approach, and certainly having worse results.

Also, the comparison to CS/JS seems unfair as Go is not just a syntax change to C++ and has very different a programming style and design goals.
I agree that it's always a target conflict. I'm just not convinced that gc is the way to go in an environment where optimization might become important. GC lets you get a correctly working program easier, but once you are into optimizing runtime performance you quickly loose that advantage, often by simulating memory management with pools. Take a look at the new Obj C with automatic reference counting. It lets you forget about the standard case and only requires you to take action for circular reference by defining them weak - thus it replaces a hard problem to solve with an easy one. For my taste that's the right balance in an environment that is run close to the hardware.

In his post he said he had trouble finding venues that would work with him on this. I know last time through Arizona he played Comerica Theatre (capacity 5500) and on this tour he is playing the Celebrity Theatre (capacity 2650). I would guess that this specific venue change was due to Comerica Theatre not wanting to work with his exclusive ticketing.
Yeah, the biggest heatsinks are not in your computer. There are big heatsinks in your car (radiator) and A/C units that would benefit from the tech more than your laptop.
If any American parent tried raising their kids like the tribe in this article they'd be immediately sent to prison, probably for several decades if not life. And if any of the kids tried acting like the kids in that tribe, they'd also get sent to prison just as fast.
> The result is overall a superior design, but worse in programmer productivity.

Go (or its current implementations) might have many deficiencies, but I think almost everyone that has used it for any minimally sized project will agree programming it Go is much more productive than C++.

I had the same experience. I don't make my email address public, but I do have it visible to friends - sharing contact info among selected groups is one of the few things Facebook is useful for. When I checked earlier, my real email was hidden from everyone and my friends were only seeing the @facebook.com address.
