That didn't stop them from funding extensive research into non-medical uses for LSD.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_MKUltra
Before we get too far ahead of ourselves, there are important and underestimated negatives for recreational doses as well, see http://www.erowid.org/psychoactives/health/hppd/hppd_faq.sht... or http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6980680.

I'd love to see more research occur, though.
My worry is that in the interim period between this and an improved auth protocol we all agree on, devs will continue to just roll their own (much less well conceived) authentication protocols.
Surely Bray's response has merit, and is more mature, this thing isn't perfect but it powers probably more logins than anything else on the web. Let's finish and standardise the 2.0 standard before moving on.
Ew, I didnt know guys like this REALLY existed Scary..
Great Job. I viewed this just because I like seeing what people on HN are working on. Then 1 hour later, I realized that the music was still playing and I was in a state of flow with the work I was doing. This surprised me because I don't normally enjoy this type of music.

Definitely put "slow", "medium" categories on there. Also, maybe filter out the songs that do those jarring breakbeats since those break the state of flow.

If LSD appears to offer such a huge benefit to scientists, why aren't there intellectual haven countries that allow it (this would give them a huge STEM advantage over others, wouldn't it?)?

And why aren't intellectuals flocking there?
Show HN: build a spotify playlist to work to, powered by EchoNest
Also @property — first you had to declare variables and use @synthesize, then you could omit the declaration part, and no you can omit the declaration and @synthesize, @property alone is enough.
Quickly threw this together to test out the awesome EchoNest API. Plug in two artist names, pick a few parameters (or leave them out) and hit submit to get a Spotify playlist for your listening pleasure.

Eventually I'd like to expand this to give you full access to the EchoNest playlisting parameters.

HPPD is not so bad. I had one and know people have one and nothing happens. It's rather not harmful. For me, even flashbacks are not something worth to be afraid of. Anyway there's much more to gain than to lose. Not for everybody, needs much responsibility, but definetely worth to take advantage from.

It's called marketing, those are just new techniques.

Yes, and what Mel did was just programming[1], and calling it hacking was just rebranding by ESR to fit into his idea of what a hacker should be.

I stand by what I'm saying: You don't learn to reverse engineer Craigslist's forms in marketing courses.

1) Drug enhanced STEM advancement doesn't seem to have caught on that much with far less controversial substances. It's a little taboo.

2) I'm not convinced that psychedelics do offer all these amazing benefits, I think a lot of it is wishful thinking. (Though this is where further research would be helpful).

3) There are all sorts of political reasons why a switch-around on policy isn't going to happen overnight. Large sections the public are still sold on drugs as the scourge of society, and politicians are still making bank on talking that up. There are also a variety of international treaties that make changing these laws more tricky (IIRC).

Eh.

It deserves more study -- the idea of using much more reasonable doses as a form of anti-depressant is interesting.

However, it's probably not magic, just in the same way MJ oil is probably not a cure for cancer. They, of course, don't list the many other discoveries made by scientists not on LSD. The "studies" really aren't terribly disciplined... I grant you because of its illegal status, but...

Given my personal experience with LSD devotees, I'm extremely skeptical of the benefits. The general trend is more towards extreme narcissism than enlightenment, and I would advise people to stay away from the stuff.
Why is there this overwhelmingly anti-bootstrapping sentiment present in the startup community? What's so wrong with taking outside funding?
Talk to Me, One Machine Said to the Other
TL;DR - In the Risk Factors section of this years 10-K, Microsoft used the word "service" almost twice as much.
A ridiculous amount. I'm an outsider to all this (iOS developer with a healthy interest in technology), and the constant pejorative adjectives directed at Hammer combined with the odd directions to the reader to "find (strong options re: Hammer) on the Net" and the horrible word insertion in Hammer's mouth that's Hammer's "pissed at everyone"...combine to make this post seem like it has a lot more sizzle than steak.

"First Take-Away" is devoted to "hay, Google implemented OAuth 2". That, as far as I understand it, is hot air because it doesn't obviate Hammer's original contention that OAuth 2 was impossible to implement without experts driving your implementation.

"Interop?" is devoted to him throwing out a wildly idealistic idea, immediately followed up by him noting that he has no idea if it's possible.

"Enterprisey" notes that he doesn't understand the enterprise requirements, understanding enterprise requirements requires expert-level domain knowledge (again, bolstering Hammer's point) and boy, those enterprise people sure are crazy!

"Standards-Making" opens by trying to use clever wordplay that has the effect of making Hammer seems small for being "pissed at everyone", and an unwarranted defense of standardization proposals aimed at those commenting on the fact the the head of a standardization proposal said standardization proposals are broken.

The most confusing part of this to me is that Bray wrote an article (http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/201x/2012/06/29/Becoming-a...) less than one month ago noting that "The new tech­nol­ogy com­ing down the pipe, OAuth 2 and friends, is way too hard for de­vel­op­ers; there need to be bet­ter tools and ser­vices if we’re going to make this whole In­ter­net thing smoother and safer." Yet, somehow he feels that Hammer's opinion is divergent enough from what he said to be worthy of a long sanctimonious, vacuous, article.

I don't understand why Tim Bray is respected by the tech community, and after two years of following tech news and giving him the benefit of the doubt, I'm not going to bother anymore. He seems perfectly intelligent, but his tendency online of having overwrought reactions that conflict with prior overwrought reactions he had make it difficult for me to consider him anything but a bloviator.

Had a look at low_pass_filter.js hoping to see the source for the filter written out, apparently that stuff is all built into the web audio api. It has oscillators, it has Highpass, Bandpass, Lowshelf, Highshelf, Peaking, Notch, Allpass as well as Lowpass filters. It does compression, delay, waveshaping, wavetables, even convolution! I had no idea it was that high level! I wonder what the square wave sounds like? Mmmmmm... square waves...

Here's the list: https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/audio/raw-file/tip/webaudio/specifica...

Don't know how much of that spec is implemented, but with all that you should be able to make some pretty crazy noises. The google moog code looks very easy to hack as well.

Once someone samples some of those old SID chips and the like into those wavetables we're going to see an explosion of html5 games with awesome 8-bit sounds.
Anna hazare and fight against corruption
Frankly, I'd rather pay £150/year for all the BBC programming (without commercials, including full online on-demand streaming) than $720/year for my cable company's "basic" package (which I continue to pay for by sitting through advertising for a third of the show's airtime anyway). If we bought that model to the US, I'd be ecstatic.

I have already put down my WP7 phone, not pleased that I cant upgrade to WP8. I am sure the MILLIONS of lumia owners will never pick up one again either.
I find it unacceptable to have any advertisement mingling with content that I have paid for. I stopped reading magazines long ago (before the internet was a real alternative) for this reason. After a person purchases something, they should be treated like a customer, not treated like a product.

I don't get that at all.

I think the OAuth 2.0 story is complicated, support is mixed and Bray's post acknowledges that.
Not to nitpick or defend MS, but it sounds like they don't want to call it 8 unless it has all of the hardware features specified by 8 (like NFC). From what I understand it will get all of the new software benefits/features of Windows 8, just not in name.

Interesting. I just finished reading a book mentioned in the article, "What The Dormouse Said", which traces the interaction of the 60s counterculture and the formation of Silicon Valley computer culture.

Based on the book, LSD was used by a lot more of the early computer pioneers than you might imagine. Everyone knows Steve Jobs talked glowingly about his LSD experience, but there were many others as well.

The book is worth a read, it's an unusual perspective on both hippie culture and computer culture.

I'm assuming you want to MVP this sucker, get it up and test it as quick as possible. I'll also approach this from a "tools you need" to build it as I'll assume you've thought through the marketing aspect.

If that's the case, there is no reason you need to hire a developer to build this. If you want to MVP this and just test something, you can throw up a landing page with Premise 2.0 software from copyblogger. I've written a tutorial on this here - http://socialmouths.com/blog/2012/04/17/premise-2-0/ . It's almost offensively simple to do and you should be able to have a decent opt-in page up and running in 20 minutes.

If you're looking to collect emails, I would integrate it with MailChimp (Aweber is better, but MailChimp is free for your first 2000 contacts).

As for marketing, we'd have to know more about what you're interested in selling eventually to these customers as your incentives for getting them to sign up will vary based on wherever their interest should be targeted.

Hope that helps.

I'm not saying it's not impressive or not being done by the best marketers. Not at all. I thought that was clear. There all talented people in every profession, that's what people do.

I'm saying that it won't be called "growth hacking" in a short time and it will go on the buzzword bingo card and will only be used ironically. And I wish the community who read about these great marketers saw through the pandering and childish "growth hacking" term as a (successful and well done) branding attempt.

I highly doubt that most spec/project leaders abandon their projects because they consider it a 'professional disappointment.' I can't think of any such projects off the top of my head. On the contrary, I imagine that many feel that they have little left to contribute and want a fresher pair of hands to guide it forwards.

Everything 'should' be judged on its own merits, but humans have a tendency to make snap judgements. We make them everyday when we see someone we've never met, or are introduced to someone new. To be fair, my statement was based on my personal opinion and feelings after reading Eran's piece. Perhaps OAuth 2 really is going to take off, but I can't imagine how terrible something would have to be to give up 3-5 years of my life's work.

edit: To be clear, I should acknowledge that sometimes snap judgements are wrong. Sometimes they are right. But when we make them, we save ourselves the burden of exhaustively investigating _every_ possible technology, or that everyone might be a great person and friend. Eran's post was enough to convince me that I should stay away from OAuth 2 until convinced otherwise.

What's interesting to me, is that this AP report http://news.yahoo.com/major-power-outage-hits-northern-india... claims that " Shivpal Singh Yadav, the power minister in the state of Uttar Pradesh, home to 200 million people, said that while demand during peak hours hits 11,000 megawatts, the state can only provide 9,000 megawatts."

In comparison, California, which is known for both having marginal capacity, and being (relatively) low-user of electricity per capita (because of the mild climate) - has a population of around 38 million, and, according to CalIso, about 41,000 megawatts of generation capacity available (not all of it in California, mind you) - http://www.caiso.com/outlook/SystemStatus.html

The number one priority for MS needs to be unifying the SDKs, app and payment platforms for Win8, WP8 and XBox Live.

If developers were able to target all three with a single codebase it would be a game changer and I can easily see it being the number 2 development platform behind iOS.

Exactly the way I read this headline.

Not that I have a problem with this exactly, whenever ad dollars start falling many large scale web properties have historically reacted in one of two ways: (1) providing a premium based subscription service that forces quality content or users will drop (the opposite of this being a free, impression driven, quality agnostic model by splitting up articles over multiple pages) or (2) increasing ad costs which in turn results in more scrutiny in what is being fed through the ad engine.

These aren't the gold standards, please keep that in mind; it's purely anecdotal. I threw this observation over at a friend who is a professional affiliate marketer and has his own four man firm, he concurs. When ad dollars drop, media companies fight for whatever revenue normalcy they can get by improving quality in the two areas users have the biggest impact: interacting with your media and interacting with the ads supporting said media.

I'm optimistic here.
