Hair Loss Treatment
Whatever the reason may be for hair loss, one thing for sure that it is emotionally and extremely distressing condition for
all those who might be suffering from it.
What impressed me most about your experience is how disciplined the process was, and how you approached building a startup in a way that takes most entrepreneurs magnitudes longer to learn.

While it may look like a failure, if anything you've achieved an incredible success and compacted a long, arduous process into an incredibly short timeframe.

Congratulations.

Money begins as the driving force to launching a company, but I've learned that once you get going, you quickly forget about money as the reason for building a company, and begin to appreciate the process of BUILDING.

As much as you think you're done, I see the underpinnings of an entrepreneur, if you can stomache it.
Not sure it's worth it. I was just talking to someone who spent good time and money wiring their new house with CAT5 10 years ago and now laughs about it. Everything is going wireless.
Valve puts apps on Steam, Microsoft still lacks a Windows 8 strategy
I'm highly skeptical if a freemium model would work.

If App.Net does that, they have to optimize the site for both ad-based and subscription revenue models.
A good start, but needs a way to distinguish between fat types (unsaturated/saturated/etc.). No way to minimize saturated fat consumption.

PG,

You are wrong in this post.

The colloquial definition of a spreadsheet app in about 100% of the world at this time is the ability to do calcs.

This video is fantastic, but what shows is currently purely a layout app (hence the grid nomenclature) - frankly - it is a visual Workflowy.

Also, you know what is a drag on innovation, lack of cordial discussion (I am a perpetrator of this myself - even on HN, I get emotionally involved in something and it takes another HN user's response to give me perspective) - and I think you were harsh in your comment, and rather than foster discussion about this, you attacked the OP.

I am sure all of us agree with: "I think most people agree now that it's valid strategy, particularly in software, to launch a simple version one of something and then iterate rapidly"

But I found nothing snide in the OP at all.
Sounds like a win-win for Nokia and Qt developers. Digia certainly seems committed to developing Qt.
Interesting example from 2008:

I'd also add that this shouldn't be taken as something to say that Erlang is totally superior to node or that Erlang makes scaling to 1M concurrent connections a piece of cake. If you're working at that level, there's no magical out of the box solution.

The problem is that if links are turned on, bots will kill server by going through each checkin, downloading each and every file and diff. Imagine reconstructing each checkin from SQLite repository, which has 10348 checkins with 1233 files each. (http://www.sqlite.org/src/stat).

Before this, the only way to prevent this from happening is by only showing history and files to logged in users (thus, "anonymous login" feature) -- this was the default.

A few versions back, the links were turned on for some users where Fossil could detect that it wasn't a spider (basically, by looking at user-agent header). It seems like this wasn't enough, thus, more agressive detection using JavaScript.

You can configure everything, of course: the setting is "auto-hyperlink", and you can enable links for everyone by giving the "h" permission to user "nobody".
People pay for Angie's List ($46 a year).

If the early members of App.net built a great community and become a good resource, regular people would pay for it.
I thought "Show HN" was for links that went directly to a webapp, as opposed to an article. Thanks for the correction.
If you are a beginner maybe you shouldn't start by reading about the <div> element... Just like when you start programming you shouldn't start with recursion. It does help to start at the beginning and work your way through to <div>.
I already had basic HTML/CSS knowledge when I found the site so not sure how it is to beginners, but I found your example to be a bit unfair.
MDN is not Firefox specific, it intends to document JavaScript, CSS and HTML in general.
How is it "more efficient"? Square is for garage sales. Why would a brick-and-mortar chain with electricity and Internet access use a flimsy mobile payment system, when they can use a regular card reader?
This is already very common in England, and a number of the major supermarkets offer delivery service (Tesco and Ocado/Waitrose are I believe the largest).

1.) The reason I get them delivered isn't necessarily that I'm too busy, just that pushing my way around a busy supermarket on Saturday afternoon is boring! Honestly, when we haven't done an online shop and end up having to go to the store I find myself wishing I could just "search" for items, like with the web/iPhone app.

2.) Ocado (the service I'm familiar with here) never chooses items near the expiry date, it's as simple as that. They must recognise that if people were consistently getting nearly-spoiled goods, they'd just stop using it. Products nearing their expiry date usually have their price reduced in their store, so it's not a problem shifting that stock.

3.) Agreed, Ocado lets you choose 1-hour slots and that's about the longest I'd want. Unless nearer the time they can be more specific based on the van's progress, e.g. send a text saying "we should be with you between 8.00 - 8.30".

Honestly, if I was building this service I'd be looking at someone like Ocado. For me, they've nailed the whole product (including awesome iPhone/iPad apps). If the InstaCart folks would like more info about them (guessing you can't use it outside of the UK?), let me know and I'd be happy to help.
>Does this really make sense?

I will ask the same question, but for a different reason— non-DSLR cameras are just becoming obsolete. Go to any touristy place, and you'll see more people using smartphones (and surprisingly, tablets) than point&shoot.

No teenager today would want to buy a p&s when they can use their phone, which produces similar (or better) image quality and already has apps/sharing/etc.
If there is no automated price scrapping based on the local stores in your area, I think an averaged out "Walmart Price", or "Kmart price" would do just fine. I'm not too sure what the price difference is in Walmart stores across the US, but i'd guess it's not that bad.

I guess that if you notice that price databases to be lacking, you could get users to crowdsource it. Even if only serious power users would fill the numbers at first to make them more exact, it should get the ball rolling.
Sorry about that. My mistake. On the other hand the link is actually from Danielle Morrill[1], who is the founder of Refer.ly

Would change it if I could, but now only HN mods can do it...

[1] https://twitter.com/DanielleMorrill/status/23335824183119462...
The referral link itself is from Danielle (co-founder, not the Daniel who submitted the story): refer.ly/r/aY0H/show

My guess is OP saw it via refer.ly and submitted it straight without stripping the identifier.

New bootstrapping strategy, anyone?
> they would not be able to use it at work - ever

They probably shouldn't be using node.js at work either.

Putting a client-side javascript engineer (even a decent one) on a node.js project can be really dangerous.
How are people supposed to know that they need to go and find a separate security tutorial (and not a W3Schools one, they don't have one)?

Following that tutorial introduces massive security holes into a site. Those security problems need to be discussed. At the very least they need a warning saying "Don't do this until you understand the security issues discussed in THIS OTHER GUIDE".
W3Schools is not perfect but it is the best HTML/CSS reference that I've seen. The W3Fools effort is sort of well-intentioned but overly disrespectful. The supposed alternatives linked from W3Fools are hideous.

W3Fools energy would be _MUCH_ better spent on developing an alternative.
Is there a seedrs equivalent for the US?
You appear to be missing my point. I am not criticizing your lack of apathy for people in the absurdly distant future. Rather I am puzzled that you are even thinking along those lines.

acomar was discussing extinction events and you seem relate that to billions of years in the future. I find that rather incredibly odd. Is it optimism?

I agree (mostly). Social networks can provide value. But the cost of using them might be too high.

Earlier this year I took one month off twitter completely. Before that I was scared to miss a tweet. I would wake up a read through what I missed while I was asleep. But after a few days of not using it I didn't feel I needed it. I may have been a few hours late hearing about the latest 'big' tech story but that was all.

After one month I went back to using it but a few days ago I decided to shut it off again. Even if you follow interesting people, and you want to hear their ideas, you still have to wade through a lot of crap. For example, one thing a lot of people post if baby photos. Why post photos of your child to a public service where you are being followed mostly by strangers? So, even if you are careful who you follow there are still noise control issues.

I could image Facebook being the same for me if I wasn't so careful about who I friend. Recently I tried their subscriber feature and subscribed to tech bloggers, news pages etc. After a few days I felt like never using Facebook again. After removing those subscriptions are bringing it down to just my close friends again it was fine. Largely because Facebook's noise controls are better. They auto created lists for me (School friends, close friends, acquaintances) and made it easy to say what type of updates I wanted from each person.

Regarding app.net I don't think it will succeed. But even if it does get off the ground and get a decent number of users I don't see the need for another social network. It seems like the reason for it to exist is the API and the fact they promise not to screw over developers. But developers aren't going to build apps and use the API if there are only a few thousand people on the network. They will go where the people (and money) are - Twitter and Facebook.
They aren't. It's proof Samsung saw Apple as a competitor and tried to fix obvious flaws when comparing interfaces.
Not if you care about minimizing audio delay, which greatly matters in certain use cases.
Seconded on the Kindle version (preferably one which is formated correctly for a change). I suspect we aren't alone in that preference.

PG, any chance of finding out if there will be a Kindle version?
IMHO Nokia has really managed to alienate developers with their treatment of Qt, and their dumping of Meego in favor of MS. This may cause deep repercussions in the long run.
The Norwegian postal service have been offering locker facility for parcels for awhile. Mostly in train/tube stations. I dont think they have been used much.

While interested I never did use one when I lived there as they cost much more than a normal delivery to your door and are very limited on for how long they are stored. Useless if you are away for the weekend or week, when such a locker service would be ideal.

The problem is nuance, which involves all those little wow-I-wish-I-knew-THAT tidbits that students never learn about until a forum member or colleague hollers at them.

Languages cannot eliminate every subtlety in their use, and there will always be issues that call for more articles explaining how to sidestep them. Novices won't normally get to see this content, and it won't help them to shove it all down their throats at once back at the introductory level courses.

There's a reason most physics students hear about Newton first.
Within a few months, we were putting in brisk 10 hour days as we started our new project. Six months in a launch date was handed down from above and we shifted to 11 hour days six days a week. ... Six weeks before shipping the studio was flown out to San Francisco to launch our game - 12 hour days seven days a week, free of the distraction of friends, wives and girlfriends. I watched alcoholism and substance abuse skyrocket, relationships crumble (including my own), people slept on office couches, two developers got divorced, one nervous breakdown.

This is evil.

I don't mean that like Google-don't-be-evil evil, which is a business practice one finds either unsavory or advantageous to competitors which one dislikes. I don't mean cartoonishly evil, like a villain killing someone to clue in anyone still wondering which character to root for after seeing the black cape and hearing the cackle. I don't mean hyperbolically evil, like the word carelessly thrown around when one's political opponents suggest +/- 3% changes in governmental policies.

I mean evil: characterized by sin, injurious to the proper ordering of society, an offense against the dignity of man, in contravention to the natural law as discoverable by reason. You could get a Catholic dogmatist, an atheist Marxist professor, and a hard-core libertarian together in a room, and they'd all call that evil. Their explanations would proceed from different and frequently incompatible axioms but they'd focus on the same parts of the act and come to strikingly reconcilable conclusions.

you are missing the point entirely of hourly rates, quite simply, if your time is averaged out to be worth 1000 an hour you would most likely find yourself in a position as a business owner / executive, etc, whose pay is dispersed differently than it is for a lower wage hourly worker, such as stock options, etc... as a contract developer youre better off acting as your own project manager and charging rates on a per project basis, ive worked on 400k projects that are considered relatively small by the companies paying for the software being developed, id take being able to pull in a few 400k projects a year, and executing on these than getting 1000 hr as a contractor, of course ive never accomplished either as im a salaried midlevel devloper

Wow. If those reviews are true, Zynga is going to fold like a cheap suit. Can't imagine anyone is working 11 hour days for peanuts when the stock is heading to $0. Weird, too, because I thought virtual cows was a pretty good business model. I guess consumers have caught on.

I am not sure since Nokia is no longer involved what-so-ever with Qt.

The hate was aimed at Nokia (their management and Elop especially), not the nokia Qt devs themselves as far as I can see.
Given the optional lexical scoping of Emacs 24 (which elnode seems to use), I wonder what would be required to port something like this to a full-fledged CL system. Given some emulation of Emacs underpinnings, you could develop completely within Emacs and use that for smaller/local applications, but if you ever require more power, move it to e.g. SBCL and deploy...

>That's a fucking stupid rule.

Version 1: Your reply if fucking stupid, you arrogant bastard, and you successfully made an ass of yourself. Even if your example was relevant, which is not, everyone knows you can't ever get idiots in any IT department to fix something like missing password. Fuck, nobody gets a job in IT in a college department without being terminally brain-dead. You are not smart enough to realize that the right thing to do is go in the server room with an ax, and hope that when they rebuild the system they'll get a clue. Sheesh, you people are the reason we need an Internet license, to prevent folks like you from polluting the web with nonsense.

Version 2: Dear samdk, I fail to see why people would fix the email system faster if you criticize them or make them resent you. You did not provide the details of the story, but I know of a similar case where the problem was fixed in private, technical, and polite e-mails. That case involved early Sun4 systems where everybody could read anybody's screen over the network, so it was relatively critical too... All it took was showing the sysadmin's screen on mine to get things fixed rather rapidly.

> (And I say that with the full knowledge that my phrasing will make you less receptive to my argument.)

This means you write this for yourself and not to fix things. This is the reason why rule #1 is a good rule: it places the other guy in the center. Your ultimate goal in a negotiation is to get the other side to do what you want. This means they are the center of the universe at that moment. You illustrated that very well with your VC example. What makes a VC different from an IT admin? That you think they are more powerful?
