Once you're on the service, deciding to see something, or keep it longer, or whatever, doesn't have financial implications, so you don't even think about it.

Well, it does, though maybe people don't think about it. It's the "health club membership" model. Pay for stuff you don't use.

Just like people figure out they never go to the gym, at some point though some people (such as myself) realize, hey I'm paying each month for Netflix but I don't bother getting new movies (or get anything I really care for), so why not cancel and go for the a la carte Redbox.

> The maintenance is keeping compatibility with current versions of the operating system.

Back in my days, operating systems kept compatibility with applications. If you want it the other way around, you'll have to pay more for the application, one way or another.
I can only say keep building, refining, starting new. I am 21 years old and am doing basically the same things you are helping your son do in his spare time. I am about to graduate with my bachelors in Software Engineering. I never had anyone to help teach me anything before college. Who knows where I'd be if I had someone like you there the whole time. I'm sure he'll go far if he keeps at it and enjoys it.
Wow that's kind of ridiculous.

Where will you hide? The boogey man is going to come find you and get you no matter where you go.
>> 3. Hosting content on Parse requires no App Store review, thus introducing no delay/resubmission via iTunes Connect.

I think that's incorrect unless you are not selling the content through IAP. You would still need to create an IAP product in order to complete the iTunes IAP receipt validation.

However, for most games, it's designed so users buy virtual currencies and content purchases are not directly tie in to IAP products.
I'm interested in the developer's thought processes regarding the functions of this application.

Google Docs and Instagram are related how? I don't conflate users of either services with users of the other necessarily.
That nicely fits leftist preconceptions, but it's 100% bullshit. The biggest anti-climate change organization I know of (and the worst quality), Heartland, gets about $4 million/year from corporations. On the other hand, climate change research funding from the US governmeny alone runs about $2 billion/year, which is partially dependent on keeping up the panic and alarm.

The most influential Climate Change skeptic, Steve McIntyre, lives on savings, a pension, an blog tips.

Your worldview is so factually wrong, it could hardly be worse.
I had the same problem, same platform (Chrome 20.0.1132.57 m). A couple even had the indecency of appearing at the exact moment that I clicked the "Compare" button.
Really? Wow that guy's a blithering idiot. This is the guy that let Bruno fool him. Your savior is the guy who wants to follow the Constitution by instituting libertarian ideology which has nothing to do with the Constitution (I mean come on, you can't just come out and see you want to take Constitution and burn it?).

Is your big concern really whether women are getting abortions? That's the guy that is going to save from the boogey man? I don't think you're safe either. :)
That's why website owners should focus on creating another classified website that can compete with Craigslist instead of relying on their contents. That's where innovation starts.

And its not about a matter of choice the users have. There are many competitors in this market, and yes Craigslist dominates every one of them because they had an early advantage on the internet. Small sites can't just leech off the contents on their website and slap ads on it to make money.

Lets say Craigslist was a print company that produce and distribute classified as. Will it be right for a small company to steal their content and slap their ads on it and distribute it themselves?

Your argument won't work here, because there are many major newspaper that do 1000x in revenue and distribution than independent newspapers.

Since posting my comment about sublime text, I went ahead and downloaded and gave it a try. I must say it seems to fit my needs as far as python is concerned quite well, from the short time I spent with it.

It hits the sweet spot between emacs and pycharm quite nicely and I am at this point inclined to buy a license, I think an IDE is more useful for languages like java or scala but for python sublime text will do for me.

Re. the use cases for an IDE, my point was that as my side projects keep growing in size, I need something which is smart about things like refactoring, comprehensive autocomplete, support for debugging etc.

There is seemingly a scientific consensus among scientists in fields relevant to climatology.

If we ignore all of those however, then I would agree that there isn't a scientific consensus in the general populous on climate change, especially among people who haven't bothered to look into the actual science of it particularly.

Also, more data does not equal worse statistics, at least on average anyway.
I went "Yahoo!? I don't know, some sort of purple?" And then got 100% on it. I think it's just a really easy color to pick, it's of medium saturation and at the edge of the wheel.
I think your analysis is somewhat off - at the same time in western Europe, people weren't using carts, they were carrying everything by hand. So it's not wheelbarrow vs. cart, it's wheelbarrow vs. nothing.

Also, narrow tracks would be much easier to build than roads which need carts. Again, it's narrow paths vs. nothing, rather than narrow paths vs. wide paved roads.
Apple is a platform company. Would you call facebook a hardware company if it came out with a phone to help propagate its platform?

Apple (or Microsoft) sells a platform. Samsung sells hardware. Intuit sells software.
Hi rodly, we just wrote up a little blog post to explain our thought process. Check it out!

It's actually harder to string more wires as a new company, because so much is already owned by a few very big players. So you have to buy access to the infrastructure from your competitors before you can even compete with them as an ISP. The opposite is true in the UK where the government owns the Tier 1 network (and possibly Tier 2, I forget). There, startup companies offering competitive services and prices don't have nearly the trouble flourishing as they do in the US.

You seem to think that essentially any role the government has in a market economy is going to be negative for consumers overall, and that is patently false.
Maybe someone can list the great companies that have been started by "writing the ideal press release first".
In python you can overload + and a lot of other numeric operators by implementing certain methods __add__ for +, see others here: http://docs.python.org/reference/datamodel.html#emulating-nu...

In ruby you can implement certain numerical methods including +

In smalltalk + is a binary method, you can give your methods all sort of symbol names. Same with Scala I think.

"how to find greatness?"

This is exactly the question they have about developers after working with mediocre or poor ones. It's not a question you can easily answer - but you'll know it when you've found it. It will be like an ice cold glass of water at the end of a 5 mile run on a 90 degree day.

Synthetic sports field
Simulated artificial grass sports fields is an area made? Of synthetic hairs that resembles it. It is often utilized in the sports arena was in the beginning planned to be played on grass, although it is increasingly being used for yards in and for business use. The major benefits of using artificial turf than grass is in fact conserving in the repairs and maintenance.

A Stack Overflow page I'd imagine would be so much more complex than a Hacker News page to render. Would likely require lots of complex queries for everything going on around the primary question and answer mechanism. By contrast Hacker News seems fairly simple.
Introduction to the Amazon Web Services [video]
My degree is in History. I also took a lot of math and computer science courses: all but one of my math courses was taught by a grad student. All but a few of my history courses were taught by grad students.

Since I transferred in I never actually took one of the 100+ person courses.
I can only imagine that the corrollary to this is "if you haven't seen greatness, you don't need it". If you have the opportunity to hire a great marketer you should take it, but your startup doesn't need a mediocre marketer. Don't hire roles, hire people.
Depends on what sort of API you mean. Internal ones are fine, so I suppose you're talking about public APIs. Which again are fine on the client side; it's just the server that can be harder.

But I still think the way to good public server APIs isn't to sit in one's arctic Fortress of Architecture and think real hard. I think you just build and iterate in private, refactoring as you go, and then switch to a closed beta. And of course build your protocol in such a way that it's reasonably extensible.

Up-front planing is still no panacea. You will have to change your protocol someday. Someday soon if you're up to something interesting, because the world doesn't stand still. And even if it does, your competitors won't.
Commenting before RTFA: the minimalist Hacker News reader. ;)
Honestly I've always gotten good support for Google products, either from friends at Google or through forums, since they are popular enough to have lots of users. Of course, I remember when Google was basically the only hiring destination for top people in the valley (2001-2004 or so), and I only narrowly avoided going to google myself.

I suspect they will do a decent job of supporting GCE, either through a premium offering themselves, or through third party developers -- same thing AWS has done. I had some meetings with AWS application/security platform consultants recently, and they do a really good job of it, you just have to pay for it.

This isn't a good argument for consumer products (if a random grandmother gets locked out of her gmail, and doesn't know anyone, she may be doomed), but I suspect any developer building products on GCE either knows someone or can pay for support, or can bitch in a high visibility forum and get help from third parties or by Google.
Many coastal cities do flood, right now, but this is mainly due to more people living on the coast in areas with lax engineering codes. Panic probably won't come until building sea walls any higher becomes too expensive in areas where sea walls and other tide restricters are required. I'd wait until a few man-made islands go under water to be sure.
Just out of curiousity, guy: can you actually describe the "ad-hoc theory"? How it works, what are the big factors, what are the spots that working climate scientists want to shore up?

Just to make sure you've given it some thought and aren't just repeating things you've heard off of blogs and Fox News.
I would alter the headline to say if you think you _won't_ need it, ...... There legitimately are times when you don't need a given subset of skilled positions that are vital to a larger company. I would never file the paperwork to start a company and immanently hire A PR guy, A HR guy, A Lawyer, A Office Manager ,and A Sales Guy. There is something to prioritizing your hiring to what is important given your existing strengths and weaknesses
That question is literally the thing that defines wether you are going to be a great entrepreneur or not. Great entrepreneurs, the one who can repeat success, know the answer and often they know almost nothing else.

To a certain extent, it's the question that folks like Paul Graham or David Cohen believe they know how to answer.
Two examples worth thinking of:

IBM may not have been started with a press release, but Paul Rand's branding and their advertising made them stand out from their competition.

Apple may not have been started with a press release, but Regis McKenna really helped put them on the map.
I guess the question is: how many iPhone users are locked in contracts and can't move to another phone at the moment, and would they move to the Galaxy S III if they could?
I originally tried Batch but felt the overhead it added to sharing photos over just doing it on Facebook/Path etc just wasn't worth it. Similar to why I don't really use Instagram, although I'd be more likely to use Instagram.

"Our long-term vision for Collections is to build a cloud-enabled universal Finder, through which you’ll be able to access all of the digital content you have that’s currently scattered across an ever-increasing number of cloud and web services."

If you posted something short and sweet to this effect on your homepage, you would definitely increase user retention. I like the idea, and think it's definitely a problem needing to be solved.
"Second employee was a "business guy" - who stuck his foot in the door and kind of hired himself."

Can you expand on this? How does a business person hire himself when he finds an engineer with a good idea?
The original, $10 million X Prize (for the first private space flights) was launched this way. They did a huge press conference to launch the prize competition, and got the head of NASA and a bunch of astronauts there.

Peter Diamandis later said he didn't have a dime of the prize money at the time -- he quietly raised it later. In the meantime, everyone just assumed he had it because the launch event had so much credibility attached to it.
This is a tool for analyzing the _financing_ of the purchase. But half of the U.S. is underwater because they got the _pricing_ wrong.

Let's pass on housing bubbles for a second. Brokerage fees are the priceyist piece of the average housing purchase, something like 6% or so. But it seems that here these get rolled into the asset cost, the fees mentioned here are the financing fees.

Now we can say, "Yeah, that is another wrinkle and we have to fix that." But it's wrinkles all the way down. These decisions are complex because there are so many options.

Which goes to the key sentence in the post: "One place, where you can answer all of your questions, address all of your concerns and remove the anxiety created by unfamiliar jargon and complex financial consequences." This as plausible as one place to answer all your web development questions without all that technical jargon.

Mortgage finance is complicated because there are lots of options. The jargon represents those concepts. Grok the jargon, grok the concept, you're starting to get it. Want to understand without all that nasty jargon? Look, 99% of technical and financial writing could be more clear, and definitions and motivation of the jargon are generally lousy. But the jargon is there for a reason. I find claims to clarify jargon a lot more credible than claims to obviate it.

If the idea is to help some one get to a smart decision about a fixed or floating loan, without them actually understanding the difference and the implications and the various risks, I don't see it. You might be getting them into a better spot. But if they don't understand what they've done, they haven't made a financial decision, they've made a management decision about who they are going to trust. But that is essentially the same model as that of every calculator provider.

Why on earth was earl "hellbanned"? His post completely made sense and his account has 4334 karma. I'm emailing him now to tell him.
Really? Even more of a bummer. I had been toying with the idea of getting a Mirasol tablet and trying to put B2G or something on it.
Just wanted to say good read. Props for being from UNM. I am an Albuquerque resident, and my father taught Calculus @ UNM. Nice to see a fellow new mexican on Hacker News. Sometimes I feel very disconnected from the heartbeat of the technology scene being out here in the desert :\
There is a legend.

'In the image, the areas classified as "probable melt" (light pink) correspond to those sites where at least one satellite detected surface melting. The areas classified as "melt" (dark pink) correspond to sites where two or three satellites detected surface melting.'

While I do feel that the use of the word "unprecedented" was not warranted (and should be criticized), the rest of the article is fine.
I'm not a lawyer. Perhaps you are, and you are certain that the facts of the complaint will be grounds for summary dismissal. My limited legal knowledge leads me to believe this will not happen, which would mean that Padmapper is going to bleed money, time, and energy until the case is resolved.

That was my main point; it's fairly useless for non-attorneys to argue legal cases on HN (my apologies if you're a lawyer and I'm just wasting your time).
I might have gone crazy. Thoughts on my website? How I can get the word out?

Well, for one thing: different ideas about what constitutes fair game for property/control claims.

Not everything can be copyrighted or patented, and specifically, it's really not clear that a rental/for sale/wanted listing is actually a copyrightable work.

If that weren't enough, though, there's also not really a clear difference between what Padmapper does and a search engine -- it doesn't "steal" listings and put them wholesale on their site without attribution, it provides a geographic search that yields a limited digest and then points users to the original source.
Hi there. Could you drop me a note at brad@nowspots.com? We're building stuff like this.
Since the people involved with this app are replying in here:

Is this another app I will come to love and find invaluable only to one day wake to "we've been bought by Google!"?

Do you have a business plan that involves long-term support for (and monetization) of your users?

If not, I simply won't install something that has the raw potential to be so important to me.
1. Xcode: you'll need this to compile open source software on your Mac
2. Homebrew - Awesome Mac package manager: https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew

4. zsh - replacement for bash shell
5. oh my zsh!: config scripts for Zsh: https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh
6. MacVim (brew install MacVim)
7. QuickSilver (Mac app launcher): http://qsapp.com/index.php
8. Git (brew install git)
Sublime 2 and vim are great choices, I use them myself.

I started developing on linux, and it's really carried over to my mac, so I use the Terminal command line frequently and never really use xcode.

I strongly recommend homebrew [1], it's great for installing stuff, and I've never had a problem with it.

Another neat tool is Dash [2], which is a documentation searcher/viewer. If you like that kind of thing, it's great.

One thing I bought which was really useful was Witch [3], which brings back a more traditional alt-tab (command-tab) menu, where you can switch between windows instead of applications. It also lets you quit selected applications from the command-tab menu, among other things. Worth getting.

Another little app I sometimes use it Go2Shell [4] to open a terminal window in the current directory from finder. And you can use the built in `open` command to do the reverse.
`open` is quite useful, so you can use whatever default application to open a file from the command line.

Another neat tool is `pmset noidle` (power manager set no idle), which stops your computer from sleeping or dimming the screen. Saves you from this situation (http://xkcd.com/196/)

Neither. I'm an experimentalist. It appears to me at this point that if I were computational or a simulationist, the transition would be a bit easier.

Some of my difficulty comes from the fact that I'm limiting my search to the greater NYC area. If finance was something I was willing to do, there would be more opportunities for my background.
Quite a few, actually. There was (is?) a rash of people who create a simple teaser web site that collects contact information from interested parties as their "MVP" to "validate" their idea. No code. No product.
but they all say they offer excellent compensation

That means, with 100% accuracy, the same thing as "average compensation". Every company on the planet wants to hire above average employees for average compensation. Why wouldn't they?

Every YC job ad is basically the same as every other. It's a BS con-job, just "come work for us, and you'll get rich" scheme that simply isn't true.

These VC funded companies will promise you the world, work you to the bone, and then dilute your equity to nearly 0 percent, and you will be left with nothing with the pride of being used to make other people rich. Avoid every job ad that sounds remotely like dclapp describes.
What does iterm2 have to offer over the built in terminal?

I don't really have a horse in the PadMapper/Craigslist debate but your analogy to YouTube is apt. I have a bunch of videos uploaded to YouTube, and I've permitted embedding because I know that even if a video is embedded somewhere I can still remove the video from my YouTube Channel Manager.

When I upload a video to YouTube, I do expect to retain control of it solely through my interactions with YouTube, and expect that when I take it down it gets taken down across all Google properties. I would be pretty angry if I found that my videos were on another site which had scraped YouTube's data and now was hosting my video without any ability for me to remove it.
