One of the few things that differentiates nReduce from other founder meetups (Hackers & Founders, 106 miles etc.) is the online platform they have built to manage weekly video checkins (before & after videos) and private groups where other founders can choose what other startups to pair with and share constructive feedback on what groups are building.

Rather than meeting another founder briefly over a beer and having an inkling of whether they are killing it, you can very quickly see based on the weekly checkins who is making real progress and who you want to engage with further. Plus, founders who engage deeply with other founders on their platform get more community points (think karma) that unlocks other benefits like mentor access.

Now they are exposing these very valuable weekly progress reports to potential investors. Much as Suster writes in his "Investing in Lines, Not Dots" post (http://www.bothsidesofthetable.com/2010/11/15/invest-in-line...), investors want to see how you progress. Seems like a big value add to the seed investing ecosystem.

The other way to go (which I've noticed most Mac people do go with) is comparatively larger fonts. As long as you are above 12px, the Apple font rendering not only looks nicer, but I seem to be able to read it faster.

Of course, I want 12px or smaller unless a display is really high DPI... ;-)
Joe - I believe you can take your paper value of equity in Virtualmin to count towards being a "high net worth individual".

So you probably do qualify if there is any sort of valuation event for Virtualmin that sets your equity at a high enough value. I know lots of founders that do this.
FoundationDB: A new generation of NoSQL database
SICP is a book about programming in Scheme, so it heavily uses the features of Scheme.

Most of the concepts covered are applicable outside of Scheme, but if you're going to work through the code, you're better off just using Scheme.

A lot of it is from Safari basically being on its own branch that is occasionally synced with the open source WebKit.
I am single founder but not yet successful. So I could not give out any good suggestion but would like to know more about single founders.
I see; that makes sense. Thanks! A good reason to learn scheme.
We. Can. Afford. It.

Laying fiber would create jobs all over the country, not only by employing companies to lay the fiber, but by creating work for the companies that manufacture the fiber. More people working means more tax revenue and it means they have money to spend elsewhere, which in turn creates additional jobs in local regions - once again increasing tax revenues.

What the US cannot afford is to continue to cut federal, state, and local jobs when there is already not enough demand in the private sector to provide anything close to full employment.
Crowd funding/capital is the future, just not sure FundersClub is going to be the KickStarter of this revolution. Their technology and design, honestly is very lacking. What is up with the lion logo?
We've found that over the weeks the startups have got more comfortable using the nReduce platform to give more constructive feedback, and are not afraid to shy away from being direct.
Also some of the teams involved have actually changed their plans when the rest of their 'support network' have firmly suggested alternative approaches.
Just because crowdfunding is/isn't good for startups doesn't mean that there won't be a huge market for it.
I thought the same. They should be grey'ed out, so they seems optional, but keep up the good work!
Why is it when you enable dictation it needs to send your contacts to Apple?

Healthy Snacks for People with Diabetes
Diabetics also feel the need to snack and it is important that they do when hungry. But they need to be aware of the healthy snacks for people with diabetes.
Essentially, my complaint is exactly that: he just reported the numbers. In a more mainstream financial magazine, I would've expected the author to also do his best trying to find out what those investments are doing. Basically, what I find an interesting question is "Ok, so $1B has been invested in YC companies. How much are those worth now? Of those which exited, how much did they exit for?". Essentially: how healthy is the startup ecosystem economy?

Why can't TechCrunch ask and answer questions like these?

The impression I get from articles like these, which don't balance the equation but just say "investment, hooray!!", is that the common conception in Startupland is that you're already halfway done when you secured a large amount of funding. In other words, that getting investors implies success. Some other commenters in this thread called me bitter and even jealous for that, but I don't understand that. Sure, getting investment increases the chance for success. Admittedly, I'd go and share a few drinks if someone just gave me a few million dollars for me to spend on making my dream reality. But it's not success yet. I'm still very much in the red!

Now, what I find really interesting is the last line of your comment. Do you have any numbers about that? How much is that $1B worth right now? (and, why didn't TechCrunch ask?)

ps. I really believed that tenfold returns were expected in later rounds, too. Thanks for clearing that up.

I went back and found the post where the person informed me what was happening:
" Something caused your account to autokill your messages, so no one can reply to you anymore, and no one will see your posts if they don't have showdead on.

I'm replying here because it's the only place I can contact you. And I don't see any spam in your account."

I went through all of my messages and can only find one post with 0 points, and several with 9 points, the account was karma positive. No spam, no abuse. It just got killed with no reason and no explanation.
There's a difference between the "crowd" in crowdfunding and accredited investors. pg was probably talking about the former.
Glad I could help. Scheme is great for introducing oneself to many concepts not commonly present or used in more common imperative languages. That, and the SICP is just a ton of fun.

Why is it so hard for Java programmers to learn anything other than Java?!
One possible reason is that the calendar date can be computed locally, the weather would require a data pull which needs to be scheduled, cached, battery managed, etc...
> Quite a bit of SICP would be awkward to translate into a language that doesn't support TCO, such as Clojure.

Clojure doesn't have implicit tail call but it does have loop-recur and trampoline. SICP can be followed quite easily in Clojure.

It can very well be followed in Ruby or Javascript as well. No tail calls simply means the runtime won't be iterative. TCO are a very small aspect of what SICP teaches, and I don't see why absence of tail calls should stop anyone from following the book in their language of choice(at least the first 3 chapters).
That's more or less what HEB's store brand looked like in the early 1980's (HEB is a South Texas grocery chain). But, I think all of the generic products were on one aisle rather than mixed in.

nReduce is indeed alive, and quite active in San Francisco. Been involved since the first meetup. The meetings have been drawing a decent crowd (up-vote for pizza and beer) and the feedback has been amazing. Joe and Josh are doing an amazing job, essentially they built a social platform for us in a few weeks.
Zuckerberg: “We Don’t Build Services to Make Money”
I like my vertical pixels as much as the next guy, but unless you are doing a lot of drawing work (and therefore really need a circle to look like a circle), I have a hard time seeing why one would not give a little on this.

You've got $300. You can either get a 1920x1200 display, or you can get a 2560x1440 display. If somehow there was another choice with a 2560x1600, I'm going to be strongly tempted to go with the 2560x1400 display unless it has some annoying display quality issues.

Even if you have more money, it'd be tempting to consider getting 2 of the 2560x1400 instead of one 2560x1600.
> What dialect of Lisp should I use to follow along the book with?

Any dialect of lisp will do fine if you know the language. SICP uses Scheme which is a lisp-1 and mandates TCO. You can very well use lisp-2 viz. Common Lisp - you will have to do the translation for passing/calling function references, and your common lisp might not implement TCO. But none of it is required to follow the book.

> Because javascript lacks this and many other features of Scheme/Lisp, I wouldn't really recommend using it for SICP.

A language without TCO won't affect what you get out of SICP. Just assume JS is tail recursive. The first 3 chapters can be done(with some translation) in JS.

It's true that Engineering at times leads Science. But, from a scientific view, what's the point of a model if you can't understand it? After all, we already know how to create intelligence without understanding it.

While it's conceivable that intelligence is too complex for a human to ever understand (e.g. if not amenable to hierarchical decomposition), that would be very sad news for science.

Alex is one of the most thoughtful students of programming languages I know. I know he's spent time learning countless languages, he literally wrote the book on Scala, and for three years now he's organized the Emerging Languages conference (http://emerginglangs.com/). The conference features talks about interesting programming languages, no matter how obscure, predominantly from the creators and designers of those languages. So far as I know, it is the only conference of its kind, and is a huge service to the programming language ecosystem.

(As an aside, said ecosystem is going through something of a renaissance. The quickly growing need for server-side software (where choice of tools need not impact the end user), the increased availability of low-level infrastructure such as the JVM and LLVM, and the ever-more-important challenges of concurrent and distributed programming have all contributed to this renewed interest in new programming languages.)

If Alex is going to spend his time working on things related to programming languages and developer tools, then I, for one, can't wait.

Has AT&T Topped?
When a stock posts better than expected results and is unable to trade higher, one should be concerned if all the good news has already been priced in. For high yielding telecom stocks, it was the love for yields that caused them to make new 52 week highs. However, the story seems to have changed now. Both AT&T (T) and Verizon (VZ) have traded lower on positive earnings reports. One might argue the bull run in both these telecom giants wont be over unless the treasury yields bottom out; however, we will watch the price action in T and VZ closely to see if they fail to make new highs on any further positive news.

completely agree. Chef and puppet could be overkill for several small to mid sized environments. The learning curve for both is relatively steep as compared to fabric. With the parallel exec feature, fabric more than meets our requirements for a small setup (<10 instances).

From my understanding, FundersClub actually solves this crowdfunding problem by acting as the sole investor on the cap table. As far as you are concerned as a startup, there is only 1 investor, and if there are any shareholder approvals, you only have 1 shareholder to go to.

This is sort of the best of both worlds. The small investor gets the ability to invest in a (risky) company they wouldn't normally be able to, and collect (potentially) disproportionate rewards. The company doesn't have to deal with the hassle of having a ton of shareholders to contend with on the books. They are just along for the ride, and nothing more.

As an owner of one I'll toss in my 0.02.

I purchased the Achieva Shimian 27" off of eBay for $290 a few weeks ago. It arrived within 5 days of purchase from Korea. There are no dead pixels or other defects. I hook it up to my macbook pro using: http://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-DisplayPort-Thunderbolt-Dual...

This monitor only accepts dual-DVI input. You can buy the HDMI version for $350 if you want.

Other variations include "pixel perfect" displays. Pixel perfect means they opened the box and there were no dead pixels. 80% of people on hardocp reported no dead pixels.

The stand is definitely a bit wobbly.

For $290--it can't be beat.
I've used this in the past to get something across Android, J2ME and iOS -- even with the best of intentions an app turns out like a ugly mutant frankenstein.
Couldn't he have taken on the lead role of R&D? Of an experimental dev arm etc...

There are lots of opps he could have taken.

Sure, It might not have been a good role, but sounds like there were relationship issues as well. I wouldn't imagine his cut and run solely on "I cant program enough" -- He had to be either under performing or frustrated with the others' lack of leadership/performance/flexibility/ability to listen/you-name-it

There are too many reasons to leave a company, but who knows the truth....

Haven't looked at simple since we speculated over their biz model ~12 months ago on HN... and frankly, as i still perceive them as a simple proxy to Big Evil banks (TM) - I'll still never trust them....

Though that is not related to the story... I still have nothing to convince me to think they are not just trying to find a way to cash in on the most despicable industry in existence... banking.
Really, you hate people like me? Hate? I made an informed decision, and you hate me? You hate me for my opinions? On the Olympics? You really think I'm ruining the Olympics with my opinions? This is over the top.

The Olympics is disgustingly over commercialized, over sexualized, abusive to the communities it takes place in, a force contra free market and free speech and you hate me for my opinions? If a little entertainment is all it takes to get you to turn a blind eye then thats fine, but how can you hate me for not doing the same?

Linux brought a large new demographic (hobbyists, students) to Unix at a time that it was expensive, little used and dying. The Linux movement, as opposed to the Linux software, was a true revolution and not easily replaced. Effective movements are a lot harder to build than effective software.

Another counterexample would be the internet itself. It could very easily have gone wrong and we would have been stuck with the likes of Compuserve and AOL.

If things are sold beyond their marginal costs, something is broken.

I think this is too simplistic and labor centric. At the very least, the number of people who can benefit from a particular kind of work should affect the value of that work, should it not?

> But each vNIC does have a subnet-unique MAC address, right? Why not use it?

Why use it at all? If it's not related to a real, physical item (and maybe you don't make any guarantees about MAC uniqueness across VM clusters), it's pointless bureaucracy.

> As long as you break the tie deterministically, I don't see the harm in picking one of the interface MACs.

Again, why would you bother to do this? If you've picked one of the NICs as "blessed", you're one hardware replacement (or network reconfiguration) from neither being blessed - so why not just assign in sequence from whatever netblock you're dealing with to start off with, and ignore the hardware?

In my "Can't. Afford. It," comment [1] I wasn't referring to the trickle-down effects, job stimulus, or long-term return on investment. Those are certainly worthy issues to discuss, but in comment [1] I was limiting myself to saying that, regardless of the merits of the proposal, it might be difficult for many localities to come up with the financial resources to implement it.

> What the US cannot afford is to continue to cut federal, state, and local jobs when there is already not enough demand in the private sector to provide anything close to full employment.

Whether creating jobs should be a goal of government, or merely a side effect of implementing policies, depends on your politics. (It's as much a question of "big-government" vs. "small-government" as "left" vs. "right".)

Bland, generic, and inaccurate advice on what to learn/practice before interviewing.

The comments here have corrected several problems with your understanding of functional languages, which leads one to believe that you have dabbled with them, but really don't know them all that well.

You are attempting to target a more experienced demographic of developer, but your article is catering to newbies. Masquerading as a guide to 'Ace a Startup Engineering Interview' is just salt in the wound.

We don't need any more guides on preparing for interviews. There are several good ones that exist, the advice that already abounds isn't going to expire anytime soon.
