Ask HN: Review my startup, devvox.com
http://www.devvox.com/

Devvox is an online network that aims to give people the voice they should have for anything they want to share.

When you create an account, you can post either an update, a discussion, a quote or even a photo and other people can find new content by using the Discover Page.

People can also post something into Topics such as Startups, Tech etc... which allows users to Follow these topics and get new content in what they are interested.

I have been around HN for some time but mostly browsing and reading... so i thought i would give HN Community a shot and hopefully get some feedback for my first startup.

Thanks for checking it out!

If I had to guess, it's part defense mechanism, part exasperation. Defense mechanism because misogyny is a pretty insidious thing, and like racism, it's also percieved as harsh to accuse someone of it.

Exasperation, because, for me at least, you see more and more of the label being thrown around, and the response turns from "Hmm, this is a bad thing, good to know!", to "Jeez, I GET IT ALREADY. Sexism is bad! Enough!"

The nexus Q includes the sound amp. This doesn't. Not really similar capabilities.

Which isn't to say the Q's inclusion of the amp is a good move overall. It isn't something most geeky people really need --since hooking up a receiver is something learned back from hi-fi systems onward (back when being a sound-system geek was a possible edge in getting laid, so had plenty of motivation/social-currency) or from our dads (who learned it from those hi-fi systems onward)--. And the it doesn't seem to simplify things enough for the non-geeky.
> Second is "Trello is now half-million strong." The headline, nor the article, told me what the heck Trello was.

How is that a problem in that particular case? This was not an introductory post for Trello. Introducing you to the product was not its purpose. This was an update on the product's blog telling you that Trello now has 500k subscribers. But if you for some reason clicked on the article wanting to know what Trello is, I'm pretty sure they have a link to the actual product right there. Including an introduction to Trello in the article text would have been a waste of most people's time.

I haven't read too much Alan Kay before, but this interview made me realize that he's not really the inventor of object-orientation as we currently think of it.

Alan Kay is really the inventor of object-orientation. But when the concept of "type bound procedures" was added to compiled languages like C (making it C++), they called it object-orientation, even though type bound procedures are a different thing than object-orientation. Real object orientation is about sending messages between objects, those messages do not have to be predefined, they are not dependent of type hierarchies, they can be arbitrary, they can be relayed, ignored, broadcasted etc. You do not need classes or types at all to be object-oriented by Kay's definition.

It's a $100 gaming console _WITH_ and SDK!

I'm a huge fan of open hardware, but honestly, it doesn't matter if this thing has open hardware or not, if the SDK is available and they encourage independents to build games, that's what matters. It's like the Raspberry Pi, it's open in the sense that they tell you a little about it, I doubt you'll get schematics and data sheets on all the parts, but that's not the point. The point is the price and the SDK and the attitude of the company promoting independent developers.
The kids on ebaum and 4chan love exploiting the mainstream worlds extreme sensitivity and political correctness with these "raids".

The fact that it was a post about misogyny that sparked it was probably just incidental. It's the fact that she demonstrated sensitivity to language and had an online presence made her the perfect target for such an attack.

Mainly because the most that these kids can do in a raid is posting offensive things on web sites.

I was one of the earlier folks to put down a pledge for this thing, because it seems like something I'd like to develop for. However, I pulled it back today because of the lack of a dev story for it. I was told by the Ouya official twitter account to just "develop on another Android device", which is a very shallow answer given the huge differences in gameplay between a touchscreen device and a gamepad device (and that gamepad-api isn't really viable yet). That suggests that they don't take the craft of game development seriously, and to me that doesn't bode well for the platform.

When they have development resources that show me that they're taking developers seriously, I'll revisit it (and doing so is fairly cheap for me; I'm using the always-awesome libgdx, which has Android support already). But my initial experience has been pretty bad, and I'm questioning their competency right now to the point where I can't give them money.
The question is not one of who is worse. Universal does some morally reprehensible things, that does not excuse Grooveshark.

Grooveshark aren't for anybody other than themselves, they base their entire business on people uploading sharing songs without giving any money to the musicians. If a user uploads the song, not a registered artist then the artist gets nothing and the money goes where?

As a result I believe through those actions they weaken the argument for DMCA safe harbour provisions by showing such a clear loophole in the meaning.

That's my moral and non-legal argument against Grooveshark (but not for Universal).
I spent ten minutes with mine and threw it in the trash.

Edit: But I'm not disappointed. First, I expect a certain failure rate with venture funding. Second, it was worth it to me just to see if they could pull it off. If I got a working keyboard overlay out of it, that would just be a bonus. Finally, I didn't expect they'd pull it off, because it's a really hard problem (which is why Apple doesn't have a solution for this).

I love me some Apple, but drama does occur. Off the top of my head:

- silent DVD-ROM read errors causing perma-botched upgrades, even though everything should be CRCed and nothing throws any errors at any point along the way

- pathologically long install stall-outs (40 minutes+)

- pathologically slow performance at first restart, usually on older RAM-constrained machines trying to re-thumbnail everything

- Significant keychain issues requiring creation of an entirely new keychain

- Spotlight issues requiring a first or second re-index

- Mail.app upgrades are quite problematic, especially when moving to V2 layout or accessing previously configured accounts

- Now-missing JVMs causing significant problems during first boot

- Lion download progress bars blowing some internal math and going for that 235905329052 gigabyte

The biggest hassle I think is exploding third-party software at first logon. Things like garbage rinter+scanner managers freaking out because drivers got moved around underneath them cause a flurry of popups that frustrate techs and freak out novices.
Google has proved time and again that it has no regard for IP and Copyright. So nothing of surprise here. It's the new 800 pound gorilla so the only recourse I guess is to publicize it and have them acknowledge it.

Unlikely that Google didn't even have a clue about adding a template wizard to ADT in early April, and had the feature added by early May. They can't move that fast to add features.
>It is not like we force women who are offended by video game media and the community to play games. If they really dislike it and hate the community, just play single player games or don't play at all.

If just blows my mind that someone can harbor an opinion like this. Women playing games like Halo need to keep their gender a secret or risk being bombarded with constant threats of rape, being called a bitch or a cunt and then finding their inbox filled with pictures of dicks.

And you come in here protecting horrible men for acting in such cruel ways by telling the victims it is their fault for daring to step into a man's world?

How about telling the guys to stop being rude, cruel, vindictive and downright perverted?

Frankly I'm surprised you weren't too embarrassed to submit that post.

Since they are planning on launching in the first half of 2013, I would love for them to go with Tegra 4 instead, or at least Samsung's Exynos 5, both of which have new GPU architectures with unified shaders and support for OpenGL ES 3.0. Tegra 4 is rumored to have 64 GPU cores compared to the 12 Tegra 3 has, and it should have "Kepler DNA". If the GPU cores are at least as good as the current ones (and they should be), then we're looking at a 5x+ graphics performance increase, plus the extra features of Open GL ES 3.0 over the 4 year old OpenGL ES 2.0. Plus, it will have a quad core Cortex A15 CPU. It would be great if OUYA could start directly with these new GPU and CPU architectures, especially if they don't plan on renewing the console every year (although I think they should).

Exynos 5250 would also be a great alternative that should be available as early as this fall with a dual core Cortex A15, and a new architecture GPU Mali T604, which should also be at least 3-4x faster than Tegra 3, and should also support OpenGL ES 3.0.
Good ideas are not rare or inherently valuable. It's like giving someone a phone number and then being annoyed they didn't let you dial it for them for a fee or authorial credit.
I'm sure that's the case, but after spending a part of the weekend watching streams of EVO 2012 (world fighting game championships - probably one of the genres to be covered by the kickstarter project in question), I would say that the M:F ratio was probably more than 100:1.
Joe Caruso - Angel Video Interview
There is nothing wrong with calling out misogyny in media. Intense and reasonable criticism is part of every healthy society. You might have a point if she wanted to ban or censor games – but she does not.

Gamers and game developers don’t have a right to not be criticized.

Furthermore, games are a huge business and everyone is playing them. They are not some obscure thing that can be ignored. They are pretty central in our society, just ignoring them is not an option.

Like racist media before it, misogynist games will have to face the criticism.
The Worst Mistake You Can Make as an Intern
I can't imagine why you'd be on anything else. Especially as a user of Hacker News.
Women are portrayed in video games the same way and for the same reasons they are portrayed on TV and in magazines. This is ridiculous.
I find this interesting enough. I've been myself involved in those kind of ideas... but never got to anything.

As other said, there is a big expression space in the web, with room and options for everyone. But the fact is that, as you, many don't like the idea of starting a blog, or just want to be part of something bigger than what they are able to build. Anyways, figuring out exactly where in the map you will fit is very important.

Others forgot to mention old fashioned forums, that also allow people to post thing, open threads, etc. I imagine your product as something in between a forum + posterous easiness + blog network. What could help it a lot is thinking in a specific subject or niche, because that will make the sum of all posts something interesting to dive in (as HN is for some subjects and not others).

And of course, as michaelpinto said: go build a prototype as soon as you can.
> With all our technological advancements, shouldn't costs be going down? Gaming could be cheaper!

Costs are going down. Does anyone remember plunking down $50 to $60 for an 8-bit NES game in 1980s dollars? You don't pay much more than $60 (in highly inflated dollars) for any game today, and yet you get so much more technological advancement for your buck.

Whether you get more value is up for debate, of course.
Please enlighten me with more detail.
That helps, but doesn't completely solve the problem. This is actually done by many companies in Germany that I know of.

However, if you set the X% relatively high (e.g. 40%) then you still have the problem that the whole department might not function that well any more during this time.

If you set it very low on the other hand (e.g. 10%) then many people won't be able to take their vacation during the summer months and they will be pissed.

Sure, there's a way to find a middle ground that works out somehow, but still the original problem isn't completely solved.
If history and religion are any evidence of this, telling people to not be aggressive and violent will literally get you nowhere. Either ignoring these people or making your own communities where such actions are not allowed is probably the only viable options.
Do you have a source for this number that accounts for women who have labelled themselves 'M' in order to avoid harassment? It's common among my friends to do so, which goes back to Anita's original point on misogyny having effects in games.

I haven't seen a study which addresses how many women do this, nor a clear breakdown on how many of them do it because they've experienced harassment or are just worried about it because of second-hand stories.
If you're looking for an alternative OS X client, I suggest YoruFukurou. Lots of options, filters, multiple accounts, works on 10.6 and feels great.
Maybe so, but this interview didn't really inspire me to. Almost nothing he had to say made any sense whatsoever. Wikipedia has a failure of imagination because the Logo page doesn't let you write Logo programs? What's wrong with Wikipedia being an encyclopedia and linking to some web page that is a full-on Logo programming environment?

I'm not really sure what I got wrong that explains the downvotes to -3.

I don't really believe this. I've seen too much of the average gamer's opinions on women; this shouldn't be dismissed as a bunch of 4channers being 4channers. There are deep problems in the community and they need to be acknowledged and fought.

If you want to see how pervasive the problem is, there's a subreddit called ShitRedditSays which records horrible (and highly upvoted) submissions and comments. This is a real problem with real attitudes.

Edit: Ah yes, I should have known that mentioning SRS would garner such a reaction... people really don't seem to like being called out on their crappiness.
She was interviewed on CBC radio recently: http://www.cbc.ca/player/Radio/The+Current/ID/2252831223/

The piece has a lot more details plus interviews with women working in the gaming industry.
You're saying that any form of call to end a specific form of artistic expression is rightly going to be met with resistance and derision. Whether that be sex, swearing, misogyny what have you. Ok. Then let's push it a little further and imagine a video game scene where Blacks are almost always portrayed following certain negative tropes. Or Jews. Or imagine a video game scene where sex is always between adults and children. I'm not saying that when these sort of thing are occasionally present in a game, then we should freak out and ask for a ban of everything. But when a whole genre is dominated by something like that, when someone stand up and ask for change in the way "art" understand people most of times, I don't think it's right to enter in resistance mode being ridiculously outrageous about it, and violent.

Same applies for any form of art who's also a form of massively popular entertainment. Like movies. If women or blacks where always represented like dumbasses with big boobs or big dicks, even if it was art, a call for change would be welcome.
I'm absolutely baffled at the HN negativity revolving around this product. If they deliver what they're promising, I think it is going to be a smashing success.

I have had a bunch of a neat, simple console game ideas kicking around for a long time. I want this console to succeed simply so that I have the opportunity to make them a reality. This console does not need PS3-level graphics to succeed. Even if Ouya only matched the graphics performance of a Nintendo N64 I think it could still be a massive success based on the games that will get created for it.
