Yammer is more like a private enterprise version of Facebook, lots of groups and media postings and timeline/widgets commenting similar to Facebook.

This is rather shocking. It's bad enough that Facebook periodically changes privacy settings, but this time they're changing the actual personal information listed in your profile. There's really only one reason I still have a Facebook account, and it's so old friends can find my current contact information if they need it. I really wish a viable competitor would appear and provide me an alternate option.
Gatsby - Thanks so much. We are HNers but should probably work on getting our karma up :-).

Those companies/sites cover pretty much full spectrum of size and focus for real estate software, so how they differ from Rentobo varies from one to the next.

In general I would say the biggest single differentiator for Rentobo is in ease of use and ease of access.

Our goal from day one has been to provide software that is powerful enough for a real estate professional but easy enough to use for a real estate novice. Anyone can signup for a Rentobo account directly from our home page and be up and running in minutes without any special training.

We are always looking to improve and welcome any feedback about how we could make things easier!

I wouldn't sweat it if you are happy with Python. I haven't tried Python myself- I use Perl- but speaking to co-workers who prefer Python, when it comes to a glue language the two appear to be fairly interchangeable. There are some differences, but if all we are talking is glue, just go with what you like.
Outrageous, IMHO.
Another one of Facebook's privacy "escapades". Sigh! I thought by now they would have got these things right but it looks like "privacy" is always going to be "bête noire" of Facebook.
That's precisely what put us in the situation we are now. Its fine, you build great relationships and can integrate a great many things, but finding the time for other projects just disappears.
> So this is a fork of bitcoin?

Yes.

> How many changes have you made?

In terms of the protocol, chiefly I have instituted mandated transaction fees based age of outputs (and updated the block verification code, wallet and knapsack selection algorithm, etc. to account for this).

There's still a fair amount of code that needs to be written for the Qt user interface and RPC calls to reflect the constantly-changing balance, as a number of sections of the Bitcoin coin base frustratingly assume that account balances stay the same over time.

> Have you started mining with it?

Only on a testnet to prove it out.

> Whats to prevent you from mining the difficulty up while we fund your indiegogo?

I'll have a coordinated release so that everyone can get in on the easy difficulty, and will use the same technique of encoding a news headline in the genesis block to prove I didn't mine it early in secret.

It'll be released with just two blocks pre-mined: the genesis block (hand-crafted), and one follow-on block as a verification step.

>I don't know how well the rotating aluminum impeller breaks-up the boundary layer surrounding the fins. It won't eliminate it completely but it certainly could be much improved from the case of stationary fins with low-speed air going across them. If you had a heatsink with stationary fins and air moving at the same speed as in the case of the rotating impeller (by using fans, of course) you'd probably get similar boundary layer effects.

I think the point is that it's a lot easier to get a piece of solid metal moving very quickly with little noise than to get air to do the same.
Groove is now Office Communicator (and parts of it are also now part of Sharepoint).

It is the enterprise IM software for any company that has legally-imposed archiving requirements for their communications.

Nobody talks about Groove or O.C. because it's not that type of product. It's a utility, not a toy.
Reiz, Thanks for the feedback. Initially we are paying for the lottery tickets. We play lottery often for fun, so we thought why not share it with everyone else.

Great sense of humor.
>Do you resent people who want to work ridiculous hours?

Hell no, if it makes them happy then that's fine, but if it starts producing burnout or interfering with their ability to perform, they need to ratchet it back and chill out. (Which has happened at my company, I've had to intervene and tell a coworker to relax and take some time off.)

My coworkers have nothing to prove to me by spending all day and night at the office.

>Or just the companies that expect their employees to put in overtime?

You're not really being precise enough. It depends on the reward structure and how frequent it is. The infrequent push to finish a release, fine. A consistent/constant expectation that salaried (no paid overtime at all) employees be working over ~40 hours a week is obscene. It's different, I'd argue, for lawyers and factory workers as their reward structures are a bit different.

>Do you view company B as not deserving to exist?

Only if said overtime is necessary for their business model to function. A business that has to abuse its own people in order to exist is just a scam hidden by abstraction and cultural acceptance. If it's doing so out of greed, then the reward structure needs revised. Law firms resolved this a long time ago.

>Do you not support my desire to work in the company and environment that I wish to?

I'm talking about abusing people who don't want to work all that overtime and spend time with their families. My company already has one person in particular who works odd/lots of hours. I don't begrudge him that, it's just an aspect of how he manages his time. My issue is with categorically expecting unpaid overtime of all employees, week-in, week-out with no real reward above the usual salary.

You appear to be constructing some sort of opposition to your preferred way of working when there is none.

SharePoint is absolutely dominating among US government agencies.
We used Groove years ago at lockheed and the adoption had to be forced down the throats of our teams because the app was too clunky.

We use Yammer now at work and it works pretty smooth, except there is still far too much activity that happens outside Yammer that reduces its potential value.

This is where I think that there is still a lot of room specifically for Salesforce and potentially linkedin, which could do really well in this space.

Obviously Salesforce has chatter and a range of utilities that are already in this space - but still a lot room to build some amazing tools.

SETI is not aimed at listening in on communications between aliens, which would be impractical for the reason you mention and more. SETI's goal is to listen for deliberate "anybody out there?" transmissions, which one can expect to be much simpler, since they would be deliberately designed to be universal and easily understood.

The judgment from the extradition hearing in Westminster Magistrates' Court contains all the accusations: http://www.judiciary.gov.uk/Resources/JCO/Documents/Judgment...

The relevant US attorney alleged over $230,000 in advertising payments had been identified. When questioned by City of London Police in November 2010, O'Dwyer allegedly admitted to "earning approximately £15,000 per month" from advertisements.

The shut down of TVShack.net and reemergence of the site on the TVShack.cc domain with the "F*ck the Police" banner is also described.

Reddit crossed that event horizon a year ago. People inside just haven't realized yet.
We've been using it at our company since sometime around September with anywhere from 80-100 employees. Despite my efforts to get sales staff engaged in the product, they haven't picked it up because it isn't intuitive enough nor does it work similarly enough to Facebook (despite the visual rip) for them to be comfortable with it. I've had continued issues with the UX (enter posts instead of creating a line break, can't edit posts or replies, no way to organize posts by chronological order only instead of whichever post has the latest response, showing when private groups are created on the public wall, the way it deals with files/attachments, users not understanding how to stop receiving the sludge of email notifications it sends by default -- not to mention how it doesn't strip email signatures when you reply that way -- and lots of other things) on top of some gnarly early-2000s-esque UI. The product just looks and feels broken and I've been interested in seeing how larger organizations use it because (and I think I've posted this sentiment on HN before) there's got to be tools out there that are better put-together and user-friendly (Jive, et al?). As such, our staff still relies on email, document servers and our internal CRM.

I suspect that's more a result of a response to the low-productivity spiral that burnout seems to be.

I'm a little lost as to which part of my comment this was in response to. At Apple in the early 90's, you could rarely find an engineer at his desk. Working interactively with people was a bit of a mess, what with all the ping pong, foosball, video game playing, the midday trips to the gym, the beer parties, and some peoples' weekly offsites to see a movie. The only people getting any sort of burnout or burns just weren't changing out their bong water often enough.

We already know that we aren't going to accidentally eavesdrop on extraterrestrial communications. Those are almost certain to be very tightly focused and using some sort of transmission and modulation scheme that will make them impossible to decode or even perhaps to recognize as a signal with our technology (much as, say, modern DSSS technology would look like noise to humans even a few decades ago).

SETI has always been about the attempts to discover signals that are intentionally broadcast to civilizations with our level of technology.
It didn't replace, in my experience. I didn't know this was to be A Thing, and last week I was going through my settings and noticed the facebook.com address. "Huh, I guess they're adding email addresses to the existing URLs everybody has (or was able to sign up for those years ago)." My other (login) email address was still there, but as an alternate or whatever.
Can you explain that a little further? I don't see why the federal government can't put out a bond that beats inflation as well as one that matches inflation. After all, inflation is sometimes incredibly low - we had deflation in 2008-09 after all.

Inflation isn't a measure of how much debt the US federal government takes on or how much money is in circulation after all, but rather the price increases of various commodities and services.

The Keynesian view is that inflation has little to do with monetary supply. The Austrian view is it does, though there are enough real-world examples of inflation without monetary supply increases and deflation with monetary supply increases to safely say that the effect is indirect at best. At the very least, it certainly isn't a 1:1 correlation.
Lissted Helps You Find Journalists on Twitter
The primary lever the Fed has to influence inflation is interest rates. Low interest rates tend to increase actual investment, in factories new businesses, etc, and eventually drive inflation up. Increasing interest rates now would most likely trigger a deflationary spiral.

It's spam prevention. Since you can't actually receive email from an external source without screwing around with privacy settings, most mail will just bounce. Since there's no IMAP or even POP suport, the mail that does get through will be left unread.
The idea is extremely appealing. Do you have any idea of the market size?
The challenges to compete against Craigslist aren't unique to Craigslist. Startups that want to compete with any dominate product in the market pretty much have to face the same challenges. Ebay, Facebook, Google Search, etc. all share similar challenges, specifically solving the chicken-and-egg problem.

However, I do believe that competing with Craigslist might be a bit easier given that there is almost no innovation happening in the product. Craigslist hasn't changed much since I first used it 7 years ago. There is definitely an opportunity to disrupt Craigslist position and it's a matter of time.

Craigslist is in an amazing position right now and they have a lot of potential to really continue to dominate. Ultimately, Craigslist's demise will be through its own undoing of not actually trying to compete and innovate.
If you don't realize that Reddit crossed that line years ago, you're part of the problem.

I say this as someone who was a contract developer from 2008-2011 and survived solely on that income from 2009-2011.

Don't ever use the word freelance. It implies that it's not your focus; whether that's because you have other things you really enjoy (product work?) or that you have a full-time job, there's nothing you get from using that word that you don't from "contract designer" or something similar. Better yet, spend a few hundred dollars on an LLC and operate as a business and not a sole proprietorship/individual.

Right or wrong, "freelance" implies to clients that you can be paid less for the same work, or not paid at all.

While SSDs are still scaling, like you said they won't scale forever. Memristors have just recently been proven to exist and there are a lot of companies showing that they have working memristors. I hope that by the time we reach "peak silicon" on SSDs, memristors will be there to pick up the slack. They've been a long time coming, but now that they finally exist we should be seeing them soon. According to HP, they should have memristors on the market in about 6 months.

Your site is working for me now in Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. It's cool visualization of data using SVG!

I see that Firefox 13 is significantly slower than Chrome and Safari, but Firefox 16's Nightly builds are much faster. (Firefox Beta 14 and Aurora 15 are just as slow as 13.)

To my untrained eye, your demo is "only" about 1.5x slower on Firefox Nightly than Chrome and Safari. Is there a way to quantify the speed difference, such as FPS or time to completion? The demo ends at datetime 2012-05-22T00:48:10.
I'd say what for-profit companies do is the best indicator we have of the value of gender balance vs. just-making-something-people-want [to buy]--there's an imbalance in those too.

I agree that these aren't Malthusian, and some aren't even true. The ones that are true seem to exemplify incentives and constraints. When you have an incentive to do more, you do more until either the incentive (marginal_benefit - marginal_cost) or your ability to do a little more fades to zero. When the incentives or constraints change, the behavior adapts accordingly. A Malthusian collapse is a special case that is not relevant to most situations of incentives and constraints.
And if you do not decouple them, users will be more likely to use 3rd party services to effect the decoupling.
