You just mentioned jurisdiction shopping and then proceeded to ignore it.
agree with you on the fact that this needs to be abstracted. however, i guess its their pre release beta version, so work can be expected.
Why are none of the sentences capitalized? It makes it difficult to read (so I didn't finish it).

What I did read wasn't very interesting anyway, so no big loss.

Ask HN: how can a small book suggestion site make money?
I made a site this weekend, foxblot.com that recommends amazon books based on tweets.
The obvious extension is to make it a facebook app too.
But what are ways I can make this profitable? I am looking for suggestions that do not involve a lot of work, as I can only dedicate time on weekends.

ERRRRRRRRROR
I don't know one NYC startup with which I have any association that has a landline. In one company in particular, even HR uses their personal cell phones (reimbursed by the company, naturally.) I interviewed at a few places a while back where I didn't speak to anyone until the actual interview. I love it. When you call me, you're demanding me to drop everything and deal with your problem. To me, phone calls are exceptionally intrusive. Of course in a sales environment, intrusions are vital (that means someone wants to buy something, usually.) Still, I'm glad to see the death of the business landline. Now if we could only kill off the fax machine..
UW is still a local state school; you shouldn't expect that students come in with the level of prep as say MIT or Stanford. Its elitness is local and comes mainly from the challenge of getting in, which, for those that bother to try (because they are in the Seattle area), is painful enough! UW also tended to weed students out rather early while I was there; 50% of my friends from the incoming class were gone by the time I hit my sophmore year.

Of course, UW is not as exclusive as UW CSE, but to suggest UW itself is just a so so University is insulting to me.
That's 40 cents worth of scrap aluminum. I'm not seeing a plausible argument for labor rates making it landfill.
Angry women? Right.

No one will ask why if they aren't aware of the problem. This is called shining a light on reality. It's how everything gets addressed.
That would be the nail you just hit on the head there
Great post Dave, and somewhat inspiring for someone nearing the end of their twenties who feels like he's only just hitting his straps now.
Non-carryover of annual earnings is one is of the huge flaws in US tax system, that punished people with bursty or deferred+balloon income.
Unless the jobs appear quickly then presumably the US might see a lot of the scientists move abroad. According to the Royal Society in London, China is set to spend more than the US on scientific research by the year 2020 and already publishes nearly as many scientific papers. - http://royalsociety.org/uploadedFiles/Royal_Society_Content/...
This opinion is not going to make me popular here, but if I were a Google shareholder (and I probably am through an ETF) I'd be a little upset by this. And I say this as someone who has been for gay marriage since before it was cool. I'm a gay marriage hipster. But this still irks me.

I want companies to lobby only for the issues that are their immediate business (and I say that only because I know we'll never get laws banning lobbying at all) and let their shareholders privately endorse their beliefs. I see this as another example of corporate personhood.

Even though I have no sympathy for people who are opposed to gay marriage as private citizens, as Google shareholders I don't feel they should be forced with a choice between supporting their beliefs (however wrongheaded they may seem to me) and being a Google shareholder.

I also feel a little gross thinking about an American company preaching tolerance to Singapore. How about we get it fixed here before we start pressuring everyone else?
Just like any group, organization, family, company, establishment: A fish rots from the head down.
The system has to be setup in such a way, that the heads of an organization are least likely to start "rotting":
- checks and balances
- personal liability
- transparency
Dave McClure is a Get for Dustin Curtis' Svbtle network.

It's fun to watch this thing develop.
Well he's not a late bloomer to the vast majority of people.

I think no matter your lot in life, if you're competitive, you get the feeling that you missed out on a lot that you could have accomplished. Stories of kids learning programming at 6, or starting companies at 16, etc, feed into this.

Even I feel like I would be much farther "ahead" if I had only started programming before high school, if I had been more gung-ho about college, if I had gone to California in 2010 after graduation instead of remaining in New Hampshire. I don't even know any programmers in person outside of my work. My "network" isn't something to put on a pedestal.

And yet by all accounts I live an extremely comfortable life, I wrote enough to get noticed and get a book deal just two years out of college, my friends think I'm of superhuman intellect, I'm able to walk to work every day, etc.

I think the kind of worry in this post is a response to the world born out of hyper-competitiveness, and I don't think its a healthy one. It's not a positive message, and the events that could turn it into a positive message for this person, the qualifications for "not being a loser", should never involve anything five or six sigma from the norm.

Look around you and relax. You've probably already won.
I'm not quite sure what the point of this blog post is. I guess it's to re-start his blog, and restarting a blog often lacks a good hook, and may be heavy on the backstory. Hopefully this is a starting point, not a destination.
Surprisingly enough not every one of your prof's dozen grad students gets to be a prof. Fortunately there is a use for STEM PhDs outside the lecture hall.

It's like saying nobody should do math in school because there aren't enough math teacher jobs for every student
What "structure" are we talking about with KO? I've been using it for a couple weeks just to do binding, and I haven't noticed it introducing any particular structure to my applications.

It is nothing like Backbone, which really seems to want you to write a "Backbone" app.
the entire financial world is built on this rate

The Epicurean Dealmaker (@epicureandeal) posted the standard response to your comment a few days ago ("Ready, Fire, Aim"). Prices are calculated as LIBOR + spread. You and I argue over the spread meaning that if I want 185 bp then I'll either ask LIBOR+165 or LIBOR+65 if the base rate went up by a whole 1%.

Check the people who responded to his twitter comments (e.g., @dsquareddigest) for more of the standard back-and-forth here. For example Eurodollar futures hedge the LIBOR so people short LIBOR during the period in question directly lost money.

Tangent: this is something I love about twitter. I imagine the meatspace equivalent would be eavesdropping on some Wall Street people in a bar, or hoping that a variety of voices get heard in the WSJ. But today, on twitter, I can read financial market participants' back & forth to each other about the scandal of the day, using their own terminology and reasoning. Very cool.

How on earth is such a conflict of interest allowed to parade around out in the open?

It's in no-one's interest to admit that systemically important banks have lost the confidence of their counterparties.
Sounds to me like he is suffering from a social comparison bias. A few peers may have done better than he, but I am sure there are those out there that would say he has done pretty good.
That makes sense then. There is more of a shift in thinking going from html to python vs php.
The most obvious approach would be affiliate links. I'm not sure that it would be the best, however.
There is a signaling effect from using Svbtle (Their aim is to signal "you are going to be reading good content") but it's hard to understand why you wouldn't want to use your own design and brand for your site. You are ceding control of your online brand to their design framework.
As a Google shareholder think of it as a.) a method for getting and keeping great employees and b.) marketing.

As a supporter of gay marriage, think of it as a nice bonus.
Wow.

As in "holy shit that was inspiring."

4chan's moot - On Extensions, Userscripts, and Archivers
It's practically lisp-like in its minimalism.

So why not go the extra yard and make it properly homoiconic and reap all the benefits of such a rigid, simplistic syntax? The current syntax is the worst of both worlds - painful to read but disallowing macros.

I don't want Apple to turn Obj-C into Perl but Obj-C is badly in need of a little syntactic sugar. Thankfully some of this is coming in the new collection literals and operator overloads.
I'm curious

What are patterns you mentioned?

Love the optimism and ambition. It hurts to read how hard you are on yourself, but I hope you achieve your goals and relax a little :). Good luck with your incubator.
It's going off-topic, but this is something that has impressed me a lot in the growth of the network: by being part of Svbtle, that means you're leaving the design of your blog and your homepage to Dustin Curtis's design, besides a color and a logo.

That he managed to convince that many high-calibre people so fast is very impressive. (especially since they have better things to do than thinking about joining a blog network. Most of them don't need that at all)
Is "limits scale" a bug or a feature?

I expect that a lot of the success of the capitalist model stems from the fact that most actors in this model are not too big to fail. (See "internet": To make a resistent system, minimize the impact of any single node going down.)

The idea of a "market" is based on something like a bazaar, where no individual actor matters. When any single actor is large enough to matter on their own, you are leaving the the market model behind. There are terms like "monopoly" and "oligopoly" for that.

When the issue is "we can't let these actors fail, they are so big that it would destroy the market", it sounds like the solution should be a simple size limitation.

Where's the problem with that?
The statement that something is good, without further qualification, does tend to imply that it is universally held to be good. Albeit the two aren't necessarily synonymous.

They tend to be taken as such in everyday conversation.
Sounds like "outside are of core competency" to me. What does anyone a Facebook know about undersea cables?
For the type of competitive folks you talk about (of which I am definitely one), I think the Internet has really changed things - your 'scope' of competition is now 7 billion people, rather than the roughly 400-500 folks you could reasonably know in your 'home town'.

Now, even in New Hampshire (to steal your example), you can subconsciously see yourself competing against folks in NYC or San Francisco or Beijing, who have entirely different sets of circumstances, etc.

It's almost cliche that the 'hometown hero' will have a hard time in the 'real world' (subject of many movies, etc.), but the Internet makes this play out on a daily basis.

Like you say, it's all a matter of perspective. Can you really settle for 'winning' locally, knowing that you're barely competitive globally? I think that's a question many folks struggle with.
Who cares about design and brand for a text blog? svbtle isn't perfect, but fairly acceptable.

Sounds like the myspace vs. facebook argument.
Hey Tobi. Ah as usual I forgot to preface with the fact that I can only speak regarding my personal experience.

In our case, it was about talking to users outside of the Blackberry bubble. After we moved down to the Valley, we started seeing more and more people use Fitbit and other quantified self devices, as well as all the cool new fitness tracking apps on Android and iOS. That helped drive our feature set for Pebble.
Oddly pedantic, but yeah, that's the one. As I said, it's 3-4 months old now.
This is kind of inspiring. As someone who wrote their first line of code at 25 and won't be able to shed the "intern" title until I graduate at almost 28, it's really easy to feel like I screwed myself over by not being where I am now 5+ years ago. Especially so in an industry where the younger you are the better and there are stories of people in their 40s having a problem finding work.

The real kicker is that I actually consider myself a pretty good programmer, at least for my experience level. As stated, I've been programming for about 2 years and I'm the primary contributor on a project that is deemed to be the "number one priority" for our application. But how good of a programmer would I have been had my parents bought me a computer when I was a kid? Or even when I was a teenager? I didn't even really know I liked computers until I was around 21 and even if I knew what the hell programming was then, I definitely wouldn't have been able to afford college.

So I guess there's still a decent likelihood that I'll need to be transitioning out of programming less than 15 years into my career, but hopefully there's still plenty of other opportunities for me to do great things for the next 20 or so years after that.
Potentially. But the valley is usually a strong bellweather (or first mover) on tech trends that eventually spread worldwide.
SBA - How to write a business plan
Tyler Cowen has written about this before:
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/12/business/making-shareholde...
They may spend more and write more eventually, but until they fix the quantity vs. quality problem, the numbers mean very little. According the Reuters, the money Beijing is pouring into research is incentivizing low quality science articles.

"According to data gathered by the OECD, China produced 285,000 papers in 2009. That's about 0.2 papers per 1,000 head of the population. Just 0.05 percent were published in top journals.

By comparison, the United States published 473,000 papers, or 1.6 for every 1,000 people. More than half made it into top journals."

http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/05/28/us-science-china-i...

Will China eventually surpass the US? Probably. They're modernizing quickly and they have 5 times our population. If they can't one day surpass us, something is deeply wrong. Of course, with their government the way it is today, there could be major hurdles along the way.
Well... speaking about Soderbergh: Solaris was an insult against Tarkovskiy's Solaryis (and Lem?). Sex, Lies, and Videotape was very good and I remember my parents good comments about that movie. In my opinion Kafka (1991) was an excellent movie (9 in my ranking). Erin Brockovich? mmmmmm.... 5. So, in my opinion Soderbergh is prolific but abandoned his art. I would prefer a Soderbergh oscillating between very good and very bad movies but not decaying. I think Woody Allen is a better example.

The topic is very interesting but I believe it is more related to personalities. Some people are more compatible to a prolific personality and some not. Others never release, and only in this case is where the sin appears.
Professional ethics are based on the obligations that come with specialized knowledge and responsibility. Even professions that are solidly middle class are seen as having duties and obligations. Librarians are expected, for example, to resist censorship, and to protect the privacy of their patrons.

If professionalism seems less meaningful in modern society, it is because a distressingly large number of professionals in occupations like finance are acting dishonorably and unethically.
Oh, definitely. If someone has a launched a targeted attack against you and they already have the ability to seamlessly view and modify your internet traffic, you are in pretty serious trouble whether you download your development tools from wget or apt-get.
Part of the problem is persistent allegations that firms were advertising certain investments as great, safe, wonderful money-making vehicles, while simultaneously knowing and privately acting on the knowledge that they were anything but.

That sure sounds like fraud to me.
In my opinion "good" is subjective by default, not objective. Further, I would think that even when objectiveness is implied it would be that the speaker thinks it should be universally held, not that it necessarily is.

Gay marriage is not universally supported, this we know. Do you personally think it is "good"? If not, does that mean you think it is the opposite, "bad", just because not everyone supports it?
"Method names MUST be declared in camelCase"

Doesn't make sense. Most method and function names are sentences, and thus should start with a capital letter.

I'm almost 19 and I feel like I'm not moving fast enough sometimes. I've already worked for two successful startups and am in an accelerator program as a designer cofounder. I love what I do and I can honestly say I have one of the best jobs in the world and the people I've met are amazing, I'm just scared of losing out on time.

This really made me see that I don't have just a few year window to do well, but it's a life long thing. I would have never guessed I'd be doing what I'm doing now a year ago, and I have no idea what I'll be doing a year from now, but I figure if I just keep doing what I love and building awesome products, I'll always be happy.
I'd like to see a reactor where greed and incompetence of the operators are actually considered failure modes and designed for.
Dave's dilemma is far too familier to a lot of people in the tech scene in general, and bay area in particular. Bay area attracts the brightest minds from across the globe. All of them have been at the top of their high school classes. They have all been told from a very young age that they are destined to doing something great in life. They not only expect themselves to do better than themselves but pretty much demand it.

But when you have so many smart people trying to be more successful than their peers the definition of success changes. The bar rises and just building and selling a successful company doesn't seem good enough. You have to start the next Facebook, or the next Twitter.

IMHO, the best measure of success is not absolutes but a relative one. Compare your current self with your self from 2 years ago and ask if you are a better, more successful person.

By that measure Dave has done exceptionally well in the past few years.
In part I agree with The point of employee perk and marketing. My obscure view of capitalism justifies it even in light of the proposed arguments. My greatest fear is for the safety of employees in regions that will be hostile to this concept. It seems very dangerous to me. (btw .. I'm gay)
There's only one and single source reporting this news and everyone seems to be linking them without adding anything else. I don't know about others, but this seems suspicious.

EDIT: I am no anti-LGBT but saying above on principle.
HN is also far more of a resource for tech-sector knowledge and wisdom than economic wisdom, as I've found all too often. On the other side of the LIBOR issue, reading through many of the comment pages here and seeing all the cries for disincorporating banks or "eliminating the profit motive" betrays an unfortunately reactionary populism.
I think you could say this about a lot of social issues though. Taking any social stance will be a great way to get some employees, a great way to alienate some. I'm sure prospective Googlers are overwhelmingly in favor of gay marriage, so it's probably a net positive to them.

But let's suppose truckers were overwhelmingly opposed to gay marriage, would it be ok for a trucking company to lobby against it? That would bother me just as much as a shareholder as Google's stance. (And more in my capacity as a citizen).
Twitter is a Corporate API
I thought cheez was giving personal opinion, not speaking for the world. Is fairly obvious that it is not universally held to be good. The UN only recently removed homosexuality from the list of things states are not allowed to execute their citizens for and the arguments about gay marriage are currently tearing great holes in many of the major sects of christianity, accompanied by much public wailing and gnashing of teeth. To think that it was a universally held belief at this point in time would require an extremely restricted social circle and no access to any form of media, so given that cheez is posting on the intatubes, I doubt this is the case.
why shouldn't competition produce ... financial instruments that aren't pegged to any artificial index?

There are those, too, but people want to hedge against the risk that "interest rates" move.

Then they must define "interest rate": is it mortgages in Peoria? Car loans in Manila? 30-year Treasurys? ... Well, how about we use LIBOR.
Celery has it's quirks now and then (for reasons I can't nail down or reliably reproduce, enabling CELERYD_FORCE_EXECV breaks a lot of things), but I consider Ask and the rest of the #celery gang to be models for how to have a welcoming community around an open-source project.

Looking forwards to experimenting with the non-multiprocessing worker - something in my current setup regularly leaks memory, and for the above-mentioned reason I can't automatically recycle worker processes to clean it up.
