>Obviously an iPod was amazing, but they captured a huge chunk of the market when they came out with the lesser Nano.

Why haven't we seen an iPhone Nano yet? Do you think we will? If so, why?

>I think tablets are hitting the phase where it is less about the features and more about true mass market adoption. The key to this is grabbing the huge chunk of the more price sensitive buyers - who appear to be quickly running to the Nexus 7.

Hm, you may be right about that. But my question then is what will the iPad Mini not have that the iPad does have, other than a smaller screen and less storage space?
I believe it is just a matter of adding the "dynamic-codesigning" entitlement.

Degrees make it much easier to get a job somewhere else, so companies have to pay competitively to keep that from happening. Its not about reward for having a degree or for contributions made, it's just economics. If you create extra profits through very hard work, the company will gladly take those and hand them over to the equity holders for you so they can buy a new car or whatever (thanks).

I like how BS marketing and lying to your customers is somehow seen as a good thing when viewed from inside the Apple bubble. Steve Jobs wasn't lying and playing you for chumps, it was apparently a wonderful gift that he could change his mind from one day to the next. And all the Apple faithful will vehemently spit the old gospel at you until the new pronouncement comes down from on-high and then they will all immediately change their tune. Just last week we were getting rabid comments on HN about how awful the idea of a 7-inch tablet is. We've always been at war with Eastasia.

Does anybody know if the new text-to-speech engine is part of AOSP? I'm referring to the tech Google got by buying Phonetic Arts.
Yes.

And I'll add something to that: When you become a fortysomething if you hit a down cycle and don't have a degree it can become a real dead end. Of course this isn't to say that having a degree is some sort of "magic get a job card", but when you get a certain age just having a high school degree isn't that great.

Lastly: I use to assume that the above assumption might have exceptions in the world of tech, but for example if you try to get a job at a place at Google not only do they want to know your degree, not only do you have to have killer grades — but they'll even go a step further and make you dig up your SAT scores!

So do yourself a favor: Get a degree while you're still young.
I got a watch for mainly aesthetic reasons, but as I wore it I became more generally aware of the time. I got used to checking my watch even when I have a cell phone on me, especially when talking to people. Having a watch on is a lot more functional than this article made it seem, though yeah, it still is mainly for looks.

It is true that there's a difference between an efficient market and a socially optimal market (if efficiencies are only measured in monetary terms, and exclude any accounting for non-monetary benefits and externalities). However rent control is quite a bad example. There is abundant evidence that rent controls produce serious under-supplies of housing, which is a socially negative outcome by any measure.
I believe the reason we don't have an iPhone Nano is battery life. The minimum size you can make the iPhone with acceptable battery life is the current form factor.

Given the current rate of improvement for batteries I would wager we don't see an iPhone Nano for quite a while. It took a long time for iPods to shrink for similar reasons.

That's not how venture capital funds work. By definition they make high-risk investments which means there is a high variance of returns from the invested companies. Most of the investments will in all probability lose money, which means that those that do make money at all will need to make very good money for the overall fund to break even and beat guaranteed investments like Treasuries.

It should go without saying that Treasuries are risk-free since the government can print dollars to pay back its debts. But in this economy, investors are willing to get negative real returns (i.e., after inflation) on Treasuries since they're more concerned about the return of their money than returns on their money.

I second this. Javascript is a dumpster-fire of a language, as is PHP. If I could use anything other than javascript for scripting in the browser, I would, but I can't. So I use it. I can use things other than php on the server, so I do.

However, I'd say the use of libraries and frameworks help javascript programmers, for sure, but that doesn't make the language any less of a mess (and in some cases, like jQuery setting "this" to whatever the hell it wants, makes it more of a mess). I can't speak for php, because I've used it far less, but I suspect the same holds true there, too.

Building My First Website 
I had contemplated hard and long to build my own website? I have been in the realty business for a long time, but due to lack of time and even lack of interest I couldn’t get my website designed. One fine day I decided to sit down with a pen and paper and plan my first website which is now bringing me good business. Thankfully my first experiment in this field didn’t go hay wire.
While this is an interesting idea, it is pretty useless in practice, IMO. Email is by far the app I (and I assume most others) am going to be clicking the most links from, and I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Apple won't be changing their links to go to chrome.

If you use something like the gmail app, they (if they don't already) should probably be doing something like this.

Name Cheap no longer selling .ins... now how am i supposed to spend $2.43?
I don't think the "too big for use in bed" argument carries much water, but I will say that one reason why I might buy a smaller iPad would be for use in a semi-permanent car installation. The iPad is too big for that job, but a 7" tablet would be in line with some of the larger screens in existing high-end autosound systems.

Right now I use an iPhone for navigation and music in the car, which is why I want a (much) bigger one. But I'll admit that it's possible that what I really want is a smaller iPad, not a bigger phone.

Of course, I'm just making a choice between two different kludges in order to work around the sad, obvious truth: that no Apple-like company is apparently going to save the autosound industry -- a confederacy of dunces if there ever was one -- from its own incompetence.
Do people really use the "11 days" thing in defense of javascript? I get that it was rushed into production, and all things considered, that was probably the appropriate thing to do given its intended use at the time. But it doesn't matter. I think we have to realize we've collectively failed by not developing an alternative to this tool that clearly wasn't designed for the things modern web applications want/need.
$300 for a 7.85" with a Retina display would be outstanding. I say that as someone who loves the idea of the iPad, but has not gotten one because they're too cumbersome for extended reading.
tl;dr — Self-publishing is only cheap and easy when you do it poorly. To be successful at it is time-consuming, confusing, and expensive. Many authors are better off with a traditional publisher.
Actually chrome has this feature too. When you have saved a file once manually, it keeps track. So whenever you make live changes on the resources panel it live updates the DOM and upon clicking save, it automatically rewrites the file at it's original location. So it pretty much mimics the solution you suggested without any command line tools, extra file inclusion, downloads, etc. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pxf3Ju2row)

If you go up, you can read my comment in which i say why i dont like extra libraries, compilers for web work. (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4219980) This is pretty much why.

And for the global mixin, (Which is pretty cool IMO, it really enables a lot more possibilities and creativity) you pretty much give the reason not to use them anywhere out side of practice work. 18 lines are huge. Plus css variables are pretty much on horizon, it is well worth the wait.

I don't even see why this is such a sign of bad design. There are tons of things in JavaScript (and virtually every other language, if not all of them) that are bad design; the fact that parseInt takes a string as its first argument and that 1/0 is the string "Infinity" really doesn't seem like it should qualify.

The fact that we are looking at parseInt as a potential problem here doesn't even make sense, given that the way most developers at this point actually expect functions like parseInt to work is to stop at the first non-number, and the developer in this case specifically went out of their way to choose a radix where I is a number.

Things that could have happened instead:

1) parseInt could fail if it is passed a string that contains anything that is not a digit (this would surprise many developers: again, this is highly common behavior)

2) 1/0 could throw an exception (I would argue this isn't even useful: +Inf is a valuable result)

3) +Inf could return something other than Infinity if converted to a string (maybe the infinity symbol in unicode?)

4) +Inf could refuse to be converted to a string (this is awkward, given that any other number can be converted to a string)

5) numbers could always refuse to be automatically converted to strings (I actually agree with this, but I feel like I'm in the minority: 'a' + 4 + 'b' would therefore also hopefully be illegal; this is an argument for a separate string concatenation operator)

6) parseInt could specifically refuse to automatically convert its argument to a string (this is probably the most reasonable thing that could have been different; however, tons of languages, including ones considered to have amazing type systems like Scala, support implicit conversion and don't even offer this kind of override flexibity)

Which are you claiming is the bad design? Maybe there's something I'm missing? I mean, if this was a situation where 4 + '1a' yielded the result '5' I'd be sufficiently angry as to claim that the people who designed this language were incompetent or dangerously negligant (PHP probably does this... MySQL almost certainly does ;P j/k, btw, only semi-serious), but this behavior seems somewhat reasonable.

The part that is most striking to me about the vagueness of the pitch is:

>“Not really, no. A wiki is more like a google doc – it has one true version at any given time. Sure, there’s a revision history, but nobody lives in the revision history. Rocketr is about having one author for a given note, and a threaded conversation around it.”

The answer to that question is yes it is like a wiki - with these key differences. With only ten minutes to pitch, anchoring your concept to something that is well understood by your audience is critical.

If you really don't think it is like a wiki at all (which would be hard to believe), then anchor it to something else that will be easy to understand, e.g. "it's like email, but the conversations get stored and revisited and edited at will by any of the participants." Anything you can use to make your concept clear in an instant is extra time to sell them on your team and your vision for why this idea can take over the world.
Yes, I see your point. Re inventing the well makes no sense, i agree whole heatedly. But the fact is i never had to reinvent the wheel, outside of the prefixing madness. I kind of hate jquery. It used to be very useful back in day but nowadays unless it's something very specific, jquery pretty much falls face first compared to native browser stuff. Using queryselectorall for example is alot faster in browser where as jquery is very slow, same goes for most common js functions and animations.

So i am not for reinventing the wheel, i just don't like to use square tires when round ones are better and readily available.
First, Javascript isn't nearly as bad as PHP. Second, even the biggest fans of Javascript recognize its problems (the same can't be said of PHP). Third, even the biggest decractors of Javascript recognize its one overwhelming strength: It's the only language to run in the browser.
Guys, lighten up. It was a joke.
I don't understand why you make the claims that you do.

Why is it bad that people are "less likely to use the state of the art elevated train and subway"? Is it because they're "state of the art"? That hardly seems compelling. Is it because the train and subway are faster or cheaper? Sounds like they're not, otherwise more people would take them. Why is train and subway usage important if no one wants to use them?

It sounds like you're advocating forcing people to do something they don't want to do, and I don't understand why you're advocating that.

They were independent and profitable company. Now they are virtally deep in debt. Everything they do now will be focused on one thing only - how to pay back that debt. They have people on board who's only goal is to get that loan back in multiples. Every decision from now on will be waged against the question "will it pay back the loan". Independency is lost, now we have company in deep dept, doing desperate things to pay it back. Desperate people in desperate situations make desperate decisions...

Yes, founders maybe took some money off he table, that's good for them, no question. But the company is now troubled.

I know! In PHP, try the equivalent:

print intval(NaN, 19);

Result in PHP 5.2.17 is:

0

Clearly, that is correct.

PHP does the following:

intval('42', 8); // => 34
intval(42, 8); // => 42

Now try:

print intval(strval("19.99"*100));
print "<br>";
print intval("19.99"*100);

This returns:

Here's an argument for rent control: Mixed income neighborhoods are more vibrant and thriving compared to more homogenous neighborhoods.

Do I understand it right then that what one might call "idea pitch" has already been passed once you are being interviewed? Because in this case it makes sense to ask "random" questions.

Before I read the discussion I kind of shared the op's point. But seeing it from the other perspective, it almost seems like the basic "fault" (if you might call it that) the op made was preparing for a test he already passed.

The answer is probably as numerous as the stars in the sky. You're probably best off focusing on your own situation. Are you finding lack of engagement at your work and looking for ways to scratch the itch (in which case you might want to work nights and weekends to test the waters)? Or did an interesting side project fall into your lap and are you finding it tough to manage both (in which you may have to make a decision about what's important to you)? Or are you just curious to see how others go from corporate to entrepreneur?

Am I doing it wrong, or did I break something?
