Ryan if you'd like an internship hacking on stuff, let me know.
"This is insane. While you need to meet your responsibilities and commitments, once you've done that, live the life you want, and live it right now."

If I understand what you are saying you are telling people to simply meet your current living obligations and worry about the future in the future.

Good luck with that.

Take a look around at all the people without a pot to piss in that have no savings or can only survive because they have maybe 6 mos. living expenses stashed away. Fine strategy if everything works out. History has shown though for the majority of people (people in corporate jobs that were well paid that lived "hand to mouth" and are now crying the blues) that followed this strategy have no paddle now.

By the way, and importantly, if you think "what I am doing is hot and I will always be able to find a job" let me point something out. Over time there are always "hot" professions where people think they are invincible. The "hotness" attracts more people to the profession and that of course assumes that the profession or what you are good at is in demand X years down the road.

Think programming skills will always be in demand? Maybe and maybe you will always be cutting edge. But you could also end up being a) an out of work lawyer (that was hot at one point it was unthinkable to go to law school and not do well when I was growing up) or b) ask some old timers who knew cobol how much they were in demand (other than y2k a fluke of course!)
>corporate funding (ads and advertisers) need not have influence over the institution itself in order to place ads in a news source.

That's only as true as long as the source in question can continue to exist without the support of the advertisers. As supplemental income (like NPR does), it's fine, because if an advertiser tries to throw their weight around, the outfit can just tell them to get lost.

However, if advertising is a primary source of income, that gives the advertiser a disproportionate amount of power over the content of that source, because every battle can become "Do this or we drop funding".
Yeah, I know they do that, but it doesn't make sense to me why they do that. If everyone expects to be #1 in the world, everyone but one person is going to be disappointed.

Erlang and Clojure are multithreaded. Clojure offers full access to Java-style (Thread. (fn [] ...)), j.u.c Executors, and Clojure-specific threadpools for agents and futures, including differentiation between CPU and IO intensive threads. Erlang's scheduler is also threaded, though its threads aren't 1:1 with pthreads. That's fairly common: plenty of libraries and languages map green threads to physical threads for highly concurrent programs.

My parents (old timers) are like that. I know exactly what that is and it's not what I'm talking about.

My comments were related to the OP attitude (from memory now) of working hard for what seemed certainly less than 2 years. It takes more than that. I'm not saying "work for 30 years and then come up for air". While I would not put a specific time on it (each situation will vary) it is definitely less than 20 and more than 2! (Of course if things don't work out by 20 years you've got some explaining to do..)

Starbucks cards are great. My JP card only gives me ANA miles (1/dollar spent, so pretty much nothing) but in NYC... there's one everywhere, so I'll get my tea to walk, get to the next store and get a croissant to eat in the park, then continue on to the next to buy the paper. Maybe another tea when I'm about to leave. That's 4 stars for $8. Then when you get your coupon, Trenta all the way. And don't forget the free refills on your smaller drinks (you get one refill per drink).
This is also known as the Endowed Progress Effect. A paper from 2006 discusses it in a fairly easy to read format.

Extract: "This research documents a phenomenon we call the endowed progress effect whereby people
provided with artificial advancement towards a goal exhibit greater persistence towards reaching
the goal. By converting a task requiring eight steps into a task requiring 10 steps, but with two
steps already complete, the task is reframed as one that has been undertaken and incomplete
rather than not yet begun. This increases the likelihood of task completion and decreases
completion time. The effect appears to depend on perceptions of task completion rather than a
desire to avoid wasting the endowed progress. Moderators include the reason, if any, offered for
the endowment, and the currency in which progress is recorded."

I get the author's point, but I also strongly disagree that the economy was doing "incredibly well." I think it was fairly obvious even 5 years prior to 2007 that the wheels were coming off. For me it felt like a slow motion accident. Same with mobile; you're only startled by the impact if you were looking the other direction.

"That doesn't mean partying, just cultivating interests, practices and (most important) relationships that make you a well-rounded, emotionally healthy person."

Agree. One of the problems with partying and socializing is that it's addicting in a way and takes your eye off the ball.

You can have fun of course but for some reason social things tend to draw you in and prevent you from focusing on what's important in growing a business at least in my experience and observation. You might like skiing and bicycling and other hobbies but they aren't so emotionally addicting that they will prevent you from achieving your goals (and in fact they are good for your health if done in moderation).
This isn't exactly true. Virtually every actor and actress has an agent as it scales better than negotiating every gig independently. The big difference I see is that the gigs are mostly very short and numerous. Very few are more than a few

"most normal people burn out, even the most driven and brightest of 20-somethings."

What's really important is making sure you are getting enough sleep and exercise as well as eating correctly (although that's more of a long term thing). Those are the few things to me that take priority over working. Because without that (sleep and exercise) the working hours are much less productive. And without your health you have nothing.

Are you really arguing that it's acceptable to enforce a real name policy because you can just lie about your name?
>So yes, your sarcasm aside, American names are an order of magnitude more distinctive.

I wouldn't be so quick to say that. Your data is only based on last names. Yes, it is true that Korean last names are an order of magnitude less distinctive than American ones. However, you failed to consider the entire name. While American names are chosen from a handful of common first names (e.g., John, Megan...), Korean first names are much more complex and less likely to collide with others [1] - at least not as much as English names.

Additionally, the Korean law mandates that websites collect people's social security number, not just "real names", so if I were to sue an online commenter for defamation, the court just needs to pick up the phone, call the site administrator, match the user account with SSN, and SSN with whatever the government has. So distinctiveness of names don't really have any meaning in this context. Also note that when you register for a website, you can't simply enter a SSN that passes the parity test; in addition to that, the SSN you entered goes through a service provided by the government that matches the entered SSN and name with actual data from financial institutions.

Your real name is 'flogic'?

I kid, but this is one of the best discussions sites on the web, and few, if any, use their real names here. Clearly discussion quality is much more significantly determined by other factors: site demographics, culture, subject matter, even the UX of posting in and viewing discussion threads probably all matter more than whether people use real names or pseudonyms.

Using pseudonyms has been traditional online for a very, very long time, and it's possible that some of the unique aspects of the internet as a social medium might not exist were this not the case.

Much of this discussion revolves around anonymity, but it's important to note that people who consistently use the same pseudonyms in the same communities are not anonymous within those communities. But by using pseudonyms, they're able to de-link participation in one community from their participation in other communites - including their offline relationships - and posit a context-specific persona.

The old "on the internet no one knows you're a dog" cartoon comes to mind, and not just because of your comments about being a "white heterosexual male", and that being in other categories might expose you to certain risks; you're also able to start with a blank slate in a new community, or start over in an old one, and have your identity there be shaped entirely by the value of your participation. You don't get this anywhere else in life.

I'd be surprised if most of the people posting cogent and insightful comments here on HN aren't also posting the occasional image macro on Reddit, or posting God-knows-what to 4chan, or participating in forums, IRC channels, etc. under names that keep their identities on these disparate sites quite separate, and adhering to the cultural norms of each within its own boundaries.

No, growth hacking is something new. Or rather: "growth hacking" is a term people are using to describe a genuinely new phenomenon. You can trace this phenomenon back maybe 10-12 years, but there is something interesting happening -- interesting enough that people feel the need to coin a term to describe it.

Andrew's example is a good one. AirBnb grew in part by piggy-backing off a pre-existing platform (Craigslist) in a way that required skills in copyediting, marketing, engineering, design, and psychology.

YouTube did similarly via MySpace. PayPay did similarly via email. Lots of people, like Slide, Zynga, RockYou, and even LivingSocial did similarly via Facebook.

There's something new happening here, and it's not coming from "top sales people" or even "top marketers." It's coming from engineers who have decided to approach marketing, customer acquisition, and distribution as an engineering problem.

It's more than quantitative marketing or direct sales. The best growth hackers have a STEM background. This thing, whatever it is, is "growth hacking."

"The best way to live the life you want is to start living the life you want in the capacity that you can and incrementally move towards where you want to be"

Think of it this way. Do you think the immigrants that came to America in the early part of the century (or even later) were worried about enjoyment or were they working their fingers to the bone in order to make a better life for their family? That's what it's like being an entrepreneur and making something work given the risk and the hurdles one will encounter. I'm not even saying you can't have any enjoyment at all or should work every hour like an immigrant. But as close to it as possible given getting sleep and exercise is an attainable goal in order to make something a success and provide security.

I think it's very important to set apart entire hour and make sure nothing intrudes. Having spent a solid block of time on an important purpose feels like an achievement, but if I get interrupted I feel I feel as if I did neither thing well, a waste of time and mental energy. Once again, I stress the important of guaranteed reserved block of time.

As to the book itself, I am the most intrigued by very detailed descriptions of the character flaws of various people. Each person in the book serves to demonstrated a certain set of weakness of the character, framed in a suitable circumstance. In each one I recognize myself (and sometimes people around me), and this creates a strange feeling - on one hand it's somewhat disturbing and disgusting when laid so baren in front of me, on the other hand it's a relief to know I am not the only one to feel or do X/Y/Z. It's also humbling to know all these things were there 200 years ago...

So, in that sense I care about all of books characters. :)

Another thing is that you're probably overwhelmed by the sheer number of characters in the book, I know that I was. Concentrated reading makes it easier to remember most people, so that helps a bit. However when it's time to re-read the book I will probably take a piece of paper and write all characters and their relationships down. Writing things down while reading a book is something I think I will need to learn to do also for other books, as well as for reasons other than following the plot development.
Hah, this is so true. A few months ago I had to implement the simplest cases for our product (we were receiving pictures from smartphones and sometimes they'd come up rotated.)

Just finding the right documentation on what the tag actually meant was hard enough. Implementing the code - even in Python - was hard: although the implementation itself was trivial, there were some massive gotchas you had to overcome before you could get it working without relying on some image manipulation libraries that have fallen to disuse... in short, a mess.
