There's that issue too, and very true. (though what I'm currently up to is a project I started after I left my program)
Good point. Didn't think about that.

I just feel like my order of trust (for law enforcers) goes something like this:

1) Military personnel
2) Police
3) *
4) Private security

* In general I trust anything or anyone over private security.

I like this game. Here are some suggestions. I would prefer to only have to select the hue (the angle in the circle). That is, the game would prepare the correct saturation (distance from the center) and brightness (the vertical bar) for me. My score would be the difference in degrees between my answer and the correct answer. It would make the game more enjoyable to a wide audience. It would also make the score easier to understand than a percentage (the percentage means nothing to me). Finally, I would like to have the name of the company written in text under the logo for cases where I want to know who it belongs to.
I mean that's great and everything. I love it. But. If the past and the present was so great, I wouldn't need money. I think Mark Hsu's paragraph on "Avoid overusing buzzwords" was pretty good; I think the avoid "Netflix for Pandas" thing is commonsense now but the notion that should actually use specific numbers when making your pitches can't be shouted enough.
Thanks for your thoughts and links! I especially like geckoboard, and I'm a big fan of Brian Suda. The challenge for me is definitely in the laying out of the unique data for that particular context in a visually appealing way. I guess what I'm trying to do, when you really boil it down, is assemble a toolbox of some tricks to use as starting points from a design perspective, and these are really helping.
This is a perfect example of the pseudo-scientific sentiment that has been cultivated in the non-scientific community.

Assert confidently that real science knows that it is impossible to model anything accurately, and that climate change concerns are guesses that will magically be proven wrong at a later date. Also, pretend that science is about 100% certainty (which it is not) and then judge climate change theories based on that figure.

There is scientific consensus (http://www.skepticalscience.com/global-warming-scientific-co...) that humans are causing global warming, and this is based on climate models developed and refined over decades, from a variety of scientific disciplines.

Yet in the face of this reality people like yourself have no qualms dismissing the science based on their own notions of science and are entirely able to convince themselves that they hold a scientific position.

I think the process is as follows:

1. Construct your own notion of how science works.

2. Dismiss climate science based on 1.

3. Convince yourself you hold a scientific position.

Why shouldn't the government, as the representative of the people, place constraints in its contract with the providers? There is nothing compelling them to provide service, rather than a different provider. It is unfair to call this a libertarian position: it is the position of some specific capitalist-anarchist-libertarians. Not all libertarians see the social contract as less valid than other sorts, nor do all libertarians believe freedom of business trumps the freedom of consumers.

Thanks for the links, and panic is the usual retort. My problem is with the boilerplate between methods. If A calls B calls C calls D calls E which can have issues that A wants to handle (eg try a different IP address) then all the intermediary functions will need code like:

foo,bar,err=callX(...)
if err!=nil:
return _,_,err

It is the last two lines of boilerplate that need to be present for virtually every call that makes me uncomfortable. Developers will start forgetting or not being diligent which causes problems. Also I think (but don't know) that by the time A gets an Error it won't know what the stack trace is for the original Error. (The stack traces are extremely useful for logging and analytics not for program behaviour.)

Needing to write the boilerplate means it is left out. For example look at all the hello world examples. Note how they all ignore any errors from the println. C has exactly the same problem, and I'm disappointed that Go is perpetuating this problem.

Thanks for the feedback. I always look at mailchimp.com as a basis. Should it be something more like that?
So is it no longer in beta? It didn't replace the previous version I had installed because the name no longer includes "beta".

Why do I have to login again? Do you have DEBUG off on the production server this time? I was weary giving my credentials the first time, still am.

Is the spreadsheet editor still just an web view? Yep, looks like it is. That's my biggest hinderance here, it's so much easier to edit spreadsheets in Chrome because I can do things like edit the page without having to find the mysterious icon for it on the top right.

I haven't tried editing any other filetypes, so I don't know if you have any actual integrated editor that isn't just using Docs in a web view, but I think that's really a much more important aspect of a program like this for myself rather than it being able to login to all of my random accounts.
I get two different stories from different crowds on this issue.

From many VCs and angels themselves - at least the ones that get their articles upvoted on this site - I get the impression that they dislike being bullshitted at. They hate people who are disingenuous. They don't care too much about projections or future plans. They just want to see how good your team is.

From everyone else in the industry (those looking for investment, those who have found investment, executives in large companies, etc.) I hear a completely different story. Tell them the world. Make projections bigger than you think is realistic. Talk yourself up. Show interest in things that the VCs are interested in - even if you aren't. Create a story of the future that will please the investors. This is not always exactly the same story you really want to go with.

Now I really prefer doing the former to the latter. I just don't know how effective it really is and I hear different stories about how to behave when searching for investment. VCs and angels aren't mind-readers, they aren't super-human, and they have the same failings as everyone else. If you can get away with the latter without appearing dishonest, you might have a better chance at bagging the investment deal.
@chernevik -- thanks for the comments. W.r.t. the 6% "cost of sale" that is actually baked into the numbers. Granted it is fixed at 6% and cannot be changed (something we will allow shortly).

Please also understand that we've only just taken the first steps on this product. There are several more questions to be answered, and more interactive pages explaining the jargon, allowing users to visualize the variables that go into various (complex) decisions.

We also know that what we've embarked on is not something simple: answering complex financial questions, and personalizing them to an individual's needs is no trivial task.

However, we think we can build this out. What we released today is just the tip of the iceberg... plenty more to come shortly.

Hope this helps. And as always, if you have any comments or suggestions feel free to get in touch with us (info@smartasset.com) any time.

Thanks!

It's not weird, in fact it's perfectly logical. They have a vested interest in the proliferation of private information into the public space (the Internet), and -- more particularly -- that interest is financial.

If such private information were encrypted by default it would put a sizeable dent into their pocket book.

After researching this briefly, it seems that the earliest "patents" in England weren't awarded to systematically encourage anything in particular, but were merely monopoly grants given by the monarch for whatever reason (e.g. as reward for X, I'll give you a monopoly on Y for 20 years). The French apparently developed a system that treated inventions as property.

Regardless of the historical motivation for patents, the reason for the inclusion of patents and copyrights into the US constitution and law was clearly to encourage new invention, not just to get inventors to disclose what they would have invented anyway. The US constitution was crafted in the middle of the industrial revolution, as we moved away from master craftsmen to big industry where it's hard to keep secrets.

As for the idea that you could never, ever tell whether somebody invented the same thing independently from another

Of course you might occasionally be able to prove convincingly that you came to an invention independently, but in general you can't. What's your point? Why do you think the US adopted a first to invent rule rather than a first to file rule? If the goal is just to encourage disclosure, then we'd have the latter right? First one to tell us how it's done wins! But that's not the rule we have, and the reason is that primary purpose of patents is to encourage new invention.
In my experience, ruby's '+' doesn't get redefined all that often. The most-redefined operators I've seen are '[]' and '<<'.

I think it works because people don't usually just go around wantonly pushing objects onto each other. It's usually part of a DSL that's used deliberately. Some of the craziest I've seen were things like _why's Hpricot library, which made a sort of xpath-like DSL:

doc / :div / ".foo"

If I saw it out of context I'd assume it was some sort of pseudocode.

Is C/C++ worth it? (Yes)
They definitely do, I didn't mean to imply that DARPA is the only source of funding. Usually for most universities you can look at Large Company X, that operates locally and find them contributing to any department that does the kind of work they need. For example I believe Microsoft heavily funds the CS department at the University of Washington.

Of course this doesn't get you out of the trap of having to do research in the area of interest to whatever large company is funding you. You can do research that isn't indirectly getting people killed ;) but it usually has to be pretty clearly aligned with the business interests of companies funding the research
Don't care about the product, the button is below the fold, the whole thing looks like cheap clipart and I don't enter my email on pages that look likely to be spam-collection mechanisms.

Mostly, though, the idea of having my app's reviews emailed to me is entirely unappealing. The only time I'd expect you to find people who wanted that service was right after they had googled for "app store reviews emailed to me".

I think social gaming is doomed by default. A person navigates to Facebook or Twitter because each company has identified itself and has locked in to the consumer. Even GhostTown+ has locked in as a personality based around being a social-er Skype. Seeing games and stuff is just a sideshow. People don't go to social networking sites to play games. It's possible to force this behavior (Zynga), but it's been shown and realized that it can't be sustained, and will eventually burn out. (ZYNGA)

The devil is always in the details. Since the first internal combustion engine, the car was an obvious development. But it turns out that there is more subtlety to making a car than simply swapping a horse for a motor on a carriage. Would you say that absolutely nothing in any car or truck is innovative to the point where a patent should be granted?

Tablets are an interesting case study because we've been down this road before (google for Windows XP Tablet Edition, 2001). Anything in a modern tablet that wasn't in XP Tablet, or the Apple Newton, you can say required innovation to do.

If the past and the present was so great, I wouldn't need money.

Not to put words in anybody's mouth, but given that one can reasonably deliver a production-quality software product for hard costs lower than a college student has in their checking account these days and also pound the pavement selling it and/or have customer acquisition channels proved viable in microscale, you don't necessarily have to be rolling in it to a) have numbers which demonstrate traction while b) not having nearly enough to make the next big steps like bringing on multiple people at market salaries.

I'm only a mentor at 500Startups and don't have decisionmaking authority, but I'd predict that if you had a story like "We built a $WIDGET for doctors offices, cold called 100 people, got 10 meetings, and sold two systems for $1k a month each. To take this to $1 million a year we need a) a customer acquisition specialist, b) two engineers to firm up the feature set, and c) money to play with more scalable channels. That costs holy-OMG more than $2k a month." the answer would be "That is intriguing and we want to hear more."
Merit has little to do with social choices, though. Just look at how often "cultural fit" comes up in discussions of hiring.

You are imagining an idealized utopia. The problem is, we don't live there. Unless hiring is done purely through objective tests that have been tested for bias and normalized there will be social-status factors involved. Coping with those lets us get much closer to a merit-based world than pretending they don't exist.

Imagine you had some code but a system-level round function was broken: it rounded up on 4-9 and down on 0-3. You can't change the function without changing the entire operating system. Would the best approach be to say, "I don't think we should discriminate! Round functions should behave correctly!"? Or would it be to compensate for the known flaws while working to change the system-level issues?
I had a lot of things to say but now I just have the one question. What's so wrong with making money? I'm really interested. I think a lot of outsiders to our industry would be surprised to know how rampant to anti-money view is or at least against anything other than earning a very modest, and very simple living.
They are lighter weight that IntelliJ. I spend a lot of time writing code so the extra investment is reasonable.
Recently on a date with a non-tech person I described my company as "not likely to be a billion dollar company, but a good one nonetheless." She was shocked that I would even mention the b-word. I need to get out more. :-)
Case will never go to trial. Maybe a "legal battle" was the only option.

Can CL "win"? Can they stop everyone else, PadMapper is but the first of many, no doubt, from re-displaying facts (classified ads) in different formats?
The word "steal" was in the original quote that Notch attributed to whoever that other guy was. This question of whether that word "steal" is used correctly is total non sequitur. The primary purpose of patents is to disallow use of an idea without permission (that's what "stealing" was intended to mean in the quote, whether you like that word or not) in order to "promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts".
I know what you mean. In my limited experience ones who raise funds are the ones who know how to bullshit. Maybe VC's are exposed to soo much bullshitting they do not know what honesty is anymore?
How is that revolutionary ? Time series databases have been around for years (have a look at KDB as an example).
Can you comment on the status of Priceonomics (YC) in this context? They're building a rich interface on top of CL listings data, presumably using 3Taps to get the volume of data without drawing attention.

Is the endgame for these companies to replace the content source, or to hope (or fight for) a legal precedent to 'open' CL data for third party usage?

Jism 2 Movie Wallpapers, Trailers, Videos & Photo Gallery
If you want to know about the movie Jism 2, just rewind your memory and think about the movie Jism. You will able to know Jism 2 easily. It was the movie starring John Abraham and Bipasha Basu. Jism 2 is sequel of the movie Jism directed by Pooja Bhatt. It is already in the news with the Sunny Leone when Mahesh Bhatt approach her for the movie from the Big Boss. After that it was again come up when Jism 2 poster released. As per the director this is a erotic thriller movie. This is the first Bollywood movie for Indo-Canadian pornographic actress Sunny Leone.

Most of the jail broken cracks are trivial to detect client side. Otherwise... They aren't going to pay anyway, might as well make the experience better for payers and not block on validation( but still track invalid transactions). And besides, if they're willing to install a hackers DNS server and ssl cert, they won't have money for long.
First off, why even have a separate sign-up page? You aren't getting any details there really.

It completely looks like spam. How are you going to know what my app is? You don't ask for my app, you only ask for my e-mail.

You could make this much simpler.

1) (as others have mentioned) state on your homepage what you do.

2) include a space for me to put my e-mail address, don't take me to another page

3) don't ask to spam me with your "We make some really cool things. Check this box if you would like the occasional email about our other products. Don't worry, we dont like spam either!" That just looks really bad.

Basically make it all a simple as possible.
You say this as if it means Apple has done something wrong, or that they've somehow underperformed. The fact is this: they issued guidance for their profits for this quarter, and beat their own guidance. Third-party analysts issued their own estimates, which were significantly higher, and the market responded to those estimates by overvaluing the stock. When the quarterly results were issued, it turned out that the analysts were wrong, and the market, which had "bought the rumor", promptly corrected to a more realistic valuation. I fail to see how a third party being over-optimistic is Apple's fault.

People tend to assume that when a stock loses a significant amount of value in a short period of time, a company has done something wrong. This is a great example of why this is not the case - speculators wrongly assumed that Apple would be even more ultra-profitable than they actually are, and overvalued the stock. The resulting correction was healthy.

Haven't used it in a long time, but now it seems more and more like Facebook to me. I followed a link on the homepage that said "X people have view your profile" and then I get a dialog asking me to change my profile from anonymous to visible. No thanks. Then there's the LinkedIn email system that I never use. Seems to have filled up with messages while I was away. Seems like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie_Zawinski#Zawinski.27s_law... is true.
