Why not? Pandering to a demographic is an old and common tactic to sell more goods. Want to sell auto and power tools to women? Just change the style a bit: http://www.tomboytools.com/
Free food is a big idea. As a one time Yahoo, I was shocked. This shows to me that Mayer is going to be different. I am not sure if every CEO previous to her had this choice, but none of them did it. It either proves that the board has given her a lot of leeway, or all the others have been weak kneed.

Seriously, food is a big deal, someone at my orientation asked a VP why we didn't get free food. She answered by explaining that the only people who liked the free food were the employees, and that share holders didn't like the free food, and that we work for the shareholders. With that everyone clapped. I remembered at the time that free food sounded good, especially because I was about the become a Yahoo employee.

So, I hope this is like the Canary in the coal mine, but in reverse.
I'd be willing to be that 90% of people here don't know what the PHP ternary operator does.

(It's left associative, unlike literally every other language that has a ternary operator.)
Thanks. Did I miss the TOC or was that a hidden anchor?

The Hype Versus Reality of HTML5 Deployment
I also checked the site out for the first time in a while. My first thought: "This looks like AOL.com."

But of course I haven't been to AOL in forever either, maybe they've changed. So I checked them out too. Yep, can't tell the difference.
Wow, what an awful, awful answer that was from the VP.

The shareholders probably didn't like her salary either, did it get cut?

I've been bootstraping for a year now and yes it is difficult but not that difficult.
Woops, yeah, I thought it asked how many times larger the economy was, not how many times it doubled (which, btw, seems like a weird way to phrase the question to me).
Just for a quick update. I have made a few commits to address the security problems people noted below. You can no longer reset any collections from the client, or spoof messages from a different user. If people still see issues in the code, you can let me know and I can patch those up too. =)
I'd support a change to auto-kill submissions that end with '?'. If you can't say it as a declarative statement, it's link-bait.
I would think the fact that they are one of hundreds out of billions would inflate rather than deflate the ego.
I think what's primarily lacking is startups talking about their grand vision. Sure there are quick flip startups, but a lot of founders begin with a grand future vision and work backwards, breaking down what can be done now to move toward the end goal.

I think we never hear about these visions as companies probably see them as a competitive advantage. But if everyone spoke about where their startup could be in 5, 10, 20 years we'd be able to accurately shape the future together rather than it simply haphazardly manifesting based on incremental investments.

Because art deserves to be respected as much as physics when it comes to understanding the world.
Pandering to a demographic is fine as long as you actually respect the people in that demographic. Too often (especially in tech) people make something pink and assume that women will buy it, regardless of how good it actually is.
I'm not sure if you just happened to hit some good songs or what, but I like this a good deal, am using it this evening and plan on doing so in future. My tired old play lists thank you. :-)

No, facebook's decline is not the case here.
There is no reason why business success requires you to exist in a bubble isolated from everything and everyone near and dear to you. It's definitely not something to "grow out of"- we are social animals after all.

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. It's not like there's some magic switch thrown or goalpost crossed where you can "really" start living.

I once worked for a highly accomplished executive who said that he didn't want to work with people who had nothing of interest outside of work. I think he was onto something.
Yes, but you're then reliant on the proxy to do the validation for you.
It's that Groupons have nonsolicits in their contracts.

It isn't that, either. It's that Groupon is rather fancifully implying that, beyond being merely unseemly or in bad form, it is somehow "tantamount to contractual interference" for THM to do so. It also implies that THM would "expose itself to litigation" for encouraging Groupon employees to violate their non-competes, an even more baseless assertion.
Historical graphs do not actually help you at all. The conditional probability of seeing a particular historical graph is fixed once you state the current number of observations and significance number. In particular the historical graph gives you no information about the true underlying probability that you did not already have if you know the number of observations and the current significance number.
Hacking for Swiming
It is a very interesting how Kitajima could come up with the second one!
I believe the parent's main point is that there are plenty of fields in which longer-term thinking is possible. I think there is a further subpoint that these fields have Real Problems to which a competent solution will bring predictable, concrete wealth to both founders and society.

It's the difference between finding a problem and figuring out what technological change can address it, vs finding a cool new technology and looking around for some sort of problem to apply it. The later approach produces a lot of imagined problems and business failures.

One weakness in SV monoculture is the preponderance of kids who have never done anything but tech; the only Real Problems they know about are basic human drives like communication and how to find the best local happy hour. Not that this doesn't produce some occasional spectacular successes, but it keeps the-best-and-the-brightest all playing in a very expensive tournament with little social value generated by 4th+ place finishers.

The contrarian in me thinks that fresh CS grads who want to be entrepreneurs should immediately take non-programming jobs in some boring old-line industry like banking or retail or government and spend a year learning the problem domain. Then sit down to figure out what software to write. Or put it this way: I really don't care about Twitter or Foursquare or even Facebook. I'd pay good money for a Banksimple invite.
If you're spending a few seconds rendering HTML, you probably have other big problems to solve above optimizing around time().
I like the idea, not so much the music though. My recommendation for getting work done music: soma.fm.
I use Yahoo all the time. Here are my complaints (which many yahoo users always complain about in the comment section):

-No consistency across sites

-They censor a lot of the comments

-The comment system never works right

-The comment system constantly switches from facebook comments to yahoo comments.

-A lot of the services don't work right (like retrieving portfolio data). Sometime it works, other times it does not.

-They are really heavy on the ads

-They need a better video player. They are testing a new one...not sure if it is good or not. The old one uses a lot cpu 60%.

-The search sucks

-Too much Kardasians/Jersey Shore crap. They need better quality/fresh content.

-The Ymail needs catch up to Gmail/Hotmail. I mean no SSL when accessing mail?

In one sense you are correct. But do we really need so many people doing what is essentially journeyman work, building trivial one-feature products with piles of VC funding that forces them to produce things that make money, rather than things that are good or do any any good? There are a lot of deserving open source projects that you can practice on, rather than stumbling around trying to figure out what you want to do while looking for an exit to justify your latest round of funding.
You seem to have a very strong opinion of what HN should be about, and yet this bubbling animosity for the OP and his content seems very out of place here.

The post's title was completely accurate, to the extent that you've admitted it's not something you want to read. Don't read it then.

The fact it's bubbling up the top posts means others found some merit in it. You want to lecture people against upvoting this content based on your personal reaction and needs, and feel compelled to fling about terms like 'wantrepreneurs', 'kids', 'self-indulgent bullshit'.

I'd prefer not to have to wade through comments full of seething resentment and antagonism, but I'm not going to lecture about it, because most HNers would find it very boring.

I'm a decade ahead and found the post a nice little read - seeing someone realise the importance of striving to find a balance. I like hearing notes from the ground from people at all stages of entrepreneurial activity.

Hacker News is not Hacker News From More Advanced, Insightful, Intelligent People Than Yourself At This Current State. That's a good thing.
I wonder if they're optimising for profitability (while aiming to only keep user retention steady), or if this is really what the target users want.

I read anywhere that pages in japan are supposed to be chock full, you don't want any white space. Incidentally Yahoo Japan is very popular (although it does have different management, yahoo US only have as minority stake in it). There could be types of users elsewhere in the world who want the same kind of thing
The Viking program was resigned to regarding the surface soil as untrustworthy for at least some (if not all) of their experiments. To get around this, the landers' robotic arms dug a few inches into the Martian surface to reach uncontaminated soil.

As for driving, the other commenters have it right: Curiosity isn't particularly fast and it's nice to start the scientific experiments sooner, rather than later. Moreover, driving around consumes limited electrical power which has to be shared with all the other systems on board, including transmitters and scientific instruments. Every minute spent moving from place to place is a minute of reduced data collection.
Be curious if you can find any security issues now that they have been fixed.
It looks like the λJS has an issue parsing some of the escape sequences in underscore.js; it's a bug in WebBits parser that version uses.

Another implementation of the core semantics + desugaring approach, dubbed S5 (https://github.com/brownplt/lambdas5), is better engineered and actually uses SpiderMonkey's parser to handle more programs.

S5 runs underscore.js without any issues. Do give it a shot if you're still interested in trying things out.

Also, it's worth mentioning that S5 handles features of the new ECMAScript 5 specification, like strict mode, getters and setters, and new APIs, that the original λJS simply doesn't handle, so it's a much more complete account of JavaScript.

Agreed, timestamps are all handled by the server now. No more trusting clients. Also keep in mind this was pushed to HN about 2 hours after development started.
Other way around. Server generates the token and passes it to the client on login.
I don't see the connection you're making with GitHub.

Whatever it may be, I'd prefer if Yahoo stays away. I'm against it enough that I would move my paid GitHub account to BitBucket.

I understand they're trying to change their reputation, but I still remember how they killed Delicious and see how they've let Flickr bit rot.

Let them practice not killing the software they buy before they buy another service I use.
Having it be centered would make it very difficult to take pictures in a horizontal orientation without your fingers covering the lens.
Haven't tried it myself but the reviews on the web seem to be almost universally bad whereas most Monotouch users seem to be pretty happy. I think for larger code bases C# has some important advantages over JS.
ah, the good ol' loyalty card.

I took a grad level marketing class as an undergrad in my time at my university and remember my professor mentioning this very same paper. Always found it fascinating, and at the time I was working at a bakery part time as well. Pitched the idea to them, they implemented, but the gains were marginal. Although, I suspect because business went down simultaneously during that period that no gain or no noticeable change could be seen as something of a positive, because everything else was in decline. So, yeah, I guess you would say it has real world application.

its also a really easy to demonstrate idea. I bring it up every time i encounter a loyalty card, just because I find it so damn interesting and remember the exact moment that my professor told us about this, eye opening example.
Design-by-committee indeed. I saw this happen with my own eyes at a bunch of companies. Executives get together, and they all try to place their sub-project on the front page. Nobody says "no", because they have their own sub-projects. So you end up with this crap.
Not Django. Flask or Bottle maybe.

I find it more likely this is a functional constraint. The "panel" at the top is likely where the antennas live which needed a non-metallic material to avoid blocking reception. After the "external" antenna debacle I doubt they would want to repeat that mistake.
I'd add the fact that they had a quarterly net loss of $88.1 million to you TL;DR.

I thought I read that right after they were outbid they showed interest in TV whitespaces and Verizon was pissed. I guess nothing ever came of that.
I agree. It's not just the homepage though. The whole site needs to be a little less cluttered.
Yeah the original Celeron was absolutely horrible without any L2 cache and the slower bus. Once the Celeron 300A hit the scene, it became pretty respectable.
Which is interesting, because Google/Facebook also seem to be requiring a "Pen name", really ... until they start checking IDs for a serious proportion of users, and not just the ones which seem odd to them.

I can see an immersive virtual world being amazing for encouraging curiosity. This world, the information stored within it, and the humans who frequent it, would attempt to encapsulate all human knowledge. Sound familiar?

We already have such a world - it is the Web. And we know it is a mess, a time sink, and a minefield. However, with focused effort, it does function as an amazing learning environment.

Unfortunately, it is not a suitable alternative to school yet. Telling kids to drop out of school and hit the 'Net instead is most likely a bad idea.

Perhaps the future role of Teachers, will be to function as Guides in this virtual world of information. Most awesome field trip ever!

Craigslist's Network Effects and The Great Platform Challenge
Absolutely. I used Appcelerator a long time ago and it was awful- they've actually made a ton of progress since then, but they don't make fully native apps- there's a JS engine in the middle that parses the code. So it's always going to be a little slower than native- but probably acceptable for a ton of apps.

I want the NY Times to stay around, so I bought their digital delivery. What rubs me the wrong way is the arbitrary distinction between devices...

You pay more for nytimes.com + iPhone + iPad. It's a little silly. Charge me 1 price regardless of where I consume it! I bought the full $4.38 / week plan but I think it's too much when it goes to $8.75. I can switch to paying $3.75 and just instapaper all the articles I want to my iPad.

Record your entire life (everything). Encrypt and store the data. Workout some way for data scientists to anonymously and securely experiment on the data such that privacy is maintained and the data remains in your control and ownership.

The idea is that there are big companies out there now (including the government) that have huge databases of information on you, and they've been working hard for many years now in the background to find useful patterns in the data in order to sell-to/manipulate/control you.

If you can do the same research with your own data, you can know in advance (or catch-up to) what those companies already know about you. With that knowledge, you could perhaps develop something like an anti-malware application for "you".

So if sometime in the future, you begin seeing very targeted ads that begin manipulating your purchasing behaviour or even manipulating your opinions and thoughts... then the system could notice these attacks and warn you (because it knows your data, your interests and your weaknesses).

The end-game of what these companies are doing is to have so much data on individuals (and the distribution channels), that they are able to subtly manipulate and program their minds without the individual even noticing.

If you know the algorithms they've discovered within your data, you can protect your mind.

Anyway, that's just one advantage. I'm working on a startup now that does this.
The majority of the BBC's revenue comes from the British government, which mandates a nearly £146 "licensing fee" to every person in Britain who receives access to broadcast television. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC#Revenue

Cultivating Happiness
> If we decide that Craigslist does not own the basic facts it is broadcasting, then the information becomes a public resource, and services will have to compete to make it conveniently available, causing the market to work better.

This is in my opinion, one of the few roles that government should play in the economy. Instead, they ignore important things like this where they could make a positive societal difference and instead interfere most everywhere else, often causing harm.
That doesn't matter. What matters is whether your users care or not. We're all app perfections here, as well we should be, but plenty of people are happy with "good enough".
If I misunderstood your point, it is because you did not make it well.

From your comment, all I see is a dismissal of the post because it has nothing to offer you. Your last comment is much more substantive - perhaps you should have said that the first time.
Sorry, I wasn't able to figure out where I first heard about the contamination concern with MSL. I think I may have heard it in a video interview, which makes it nigh unsearchable. That said, a search of nasa.gov reveals several mentions of the use of a skycrane to reduce rocket exhaust contamination in relation to other missions, particularly ExoMars.
This would make a bunch of SEOs of my acquaintance absolutely giddy, because you could use e.g. Yahoo keyword data or the proprietary financial data which is just maddening to get one's hand on to create arbitrarily large data-heavy sites... to rank in Google.
Google charges the most for maps because they have the best service.

And generally speaking, I don't think competing on price is a great strategy for turning the company around. The OSM map services will have a big price advantage because all of their data is free, even though it's not as good as Google's. And if Yahoo enhances the data, or gets their own data and tries to charge a premium, then they're back to where they are now trying to compete with Google...

I'm not saying they can't make a better service for cheaper, but their focus should be on making a great map service, not on cutting the price.
I write apps native, in the given platform's blessed language and framework.
For people with financial burdens, venture capital can be the difference between being able to pursue your startup dreams, or letting them die on the vine.

There are definite downsides to raising money, and I totally understand the stigma the HN community tends to attach to it.

Having said that, a 500k seed investment let Jesse and I put down everything, and put 100% of our efforts towards Attachments.me. I have no regrets about this.
What are you interested in doing? What's your background, aside from a couple of languages you know? Where do you live? Do you have any areas you'd like to work in?

Be heavy with the details! I know there area always companies in NYC looking to take on interns at any time of year.
As I understand, Foucault does a great deal of questioning of philosophy and formal institutions. Why is Foucault above the same kind of questioning?
I love this comment on the @sgblank post:

When I started at mindspring as a startup (a dial up company) there were some very interesting rules.

1. Drug testing policy. If you have drugs we will test them.

Classic stuff. That's the kind of culture I want to build at Fogbeam Labs when we get to the point of having employees. I like to say "let's be the Mötley Crüe of software companies." Hard partying, hard fighting, and ass kicking, that's the stuff we're going for - well, along with great software, world-class UX, and better integration of enterprise software than you can get anywhere else.
