This sounds totally legit.

I want to remind you guys of the current top post at the front page: http://day4.se/how-we-screwed-almost-the-whole-apple-communi...

Don't believe everything. We do not even know if Samsung made it or if it has anything to do with android.
App.net is not actually decentralized.
That seems like a low bar, considering that Twitter conversations were never a good idea.
Funny, I have seen this forum layout somewhere...OMG! Macrumours has copied PhpBB!!
I do find it utterly useless.

If I'm buying a bike then I either already have a helmet, or already know I need to buy one. So what value is the ad providing?

I'm not going to blindly purchase something without doing at least a little research (to check prices, at the very least), so the ad is just getting in the way and wasting bandwidth.
At one point it says, "Asking for payment does not fundamentally change your relationship with your users" but I'm not sure I agree with that. Asking for payment DOES change the relationship, but it changes it for the better--there is a more equitable sense of trade or exchange, where both parties feel as though their contributions are valued.
For comparison...

Samsung's IDE: http://www.imaso.co.kr/data/article/15%283%29.png

Xcode: http://cl.ly/Ijas

Of course, as Samsung apologists will tell you, this was a pure accident on Samsung's part. Everyone knows there's only one way to design an IDE. Anyone designing one will eventually end up with a carbon-copy of Xcode.

Examinations are organized by the trade organizations ("Handwerkskammern"), who also set the curriculum. This is how training becomes portable between employers. Training itself is done in-house.
There is a difference: If the data never touches your server at all, it is impossible for you to inadvertently record it.
Very simple: JS (module pattern, encapsulation) is verbose. CoffeeScript is more compact, allowing for more code on one page. I toy with going back to JS (I don't like everything about CS, especially with debugging and test tools in node development) but CS optimizes for the good parts of JS and ignores the parts I don't want to use anyway.

Excellent points. For your situation, you might try some of the alternative interfaces. Might have a better experience.

If slavery is defined as involuntary servitude, then I don't see how conscription isn't slavery. Condemning one's children to that may be necessary in some situations, but in my ethical framework, I certainly wouldn't exchange 2 years of slavery for some supposed cultural enlightenment. Even more so, I certainly wouldn't do it to my own children.

If my kids really wanted to join the Singaporean military when they grow up, that's fine, but locking them into that when it's completely unnecessary seems selfish in this situation. I'd certainly have that opinion of my parents had they done the same to me.

Indeed there's a Samsung IDE:

Well, it's usually very hard to copy other people's flash code that you might see somewhere. With webRTC/javascript, all you really need to do is "view source". This, plus mashups with other web APIs, makes webRTC a much more powerful platform than flash.

> is it possible that you'd be able to point out such similarities between any two IDEs

Not down to the level of design elements that appear to have been copied here. As someone who does use XCode, Visual Studio, IntelliJ, and PyCharm all on a regular basis, I can tell you that they all look very distinct visually. They all have pretty much the same feature set, but they're absolutely distinguishable at a glance visually. It is definitely not inevitable that IDEs look the same.

Interestingly, the Samsung IDE is a Windows application. The standard practice would be to match the look and feel of the native platform the IDE runs on, but that is clearly not the case here.

StumbleUpon Paid Discovery
I was about to post a "they're doing it wrong" comment, suggesting just this sort of thing. Interesting that the idea of applying vector network analysis to household power monitoring is so old that the patent has expired.

Using an optical sensor to monitor a spinning-wheel meter is just goofy, and so, for that matter, is the direct connection to the AC mains in the patent. All of the information they need can be sensed magnetically, by proximity to the house's power feed.

That's not really true. I frequently do calculations manually just to convince myself that I can still think.
What is great about this?
I'm a bit surprised the comments here are so overwhelmingly critical. I think there's a legitimate point here, which is that the users paying money is not a silver bullet. It's not as if paid services don't make decisions that end up screwing users one way or another, not to mention the fact that subscription fees and ads are not always mutually exclusive (witness cable TV, newspapers, etc). In fact Twitter toed the line for years, building developer confidence and providing a solid platform. This is precisely the problem that App.net is addressing: Twitter appeared to be trustworthy but when push came to shove they decided to throw the developers under the bus because they had enough normals that they figured the developers and early adopters weren't necessary anymore.

The reason App.net is more trustworthy is because its founding principles are a direct response to this existential threat of advertising dollars subverting the platform. The paying users part is merely the explanation of how to make this company work, not the guarantee that they will do no wrong.

This was what advertising was about in the 30s maybe. Since then its gotten sophisticated, employing tricks that prey on our comparatively unsophisticated psychology making you want things that you otherwise wouldn’t.

Besides, if advertising didn’t exist or was illegal or something, couldn’t we just create a webapp to let people exchange information about interesting products and services and that would be the end of that problem. No need for information about products and services to be so pervasively integrated into every nook and cranny of our society.

I'm not really impressed with the price. It's just an iPad on wheels, and you have to provide the iPad.
Legit hi-res screenshot!

I agree with all your points. It's definitely a lookalike copy of XCode, but there's no proof that it's made by Samsung nor that it's used for Smart TV.

All I can see from it is that it's some-sort of a JavaScript/HTML5? IDE.
Compared to, say, an actual leap.

What do you mean by "an impossible gap?" If it wasn't possible, it wouldn't happen. Even beyond that, "impossible" does not entail great magnitude, but simply something outside the set of possibilities, which could be good or bad.

What do you mean? I paid the $50 and now I have an account.

There was an email a week or so ago talking about the launch of Alpha which said to let them know if you want to log in. I replied saying I backed them and would like to log in, and they set me up.

Maybe that was a one-off thing? In any case, it's pretty slick and I'm happy to be on it.
Other than the placement (but not iconography: those come straight from the 1980's VCR) of the Start/Stop buttons, I'm actually not quite sure that I see much. Can you elaborate? What's an "IB screen" (if it's the visual layout thing, I gotta say you're off by about 15 years trying to attribute that to Apple).

But fair enough: let's say they cloned it. Now what? What corrective action should be taken? What if Eclipse did the same thing (as, of course, Eclipse basically did to VC++)?

You're trying to make some kind of moral point, so it would help your case if you spelled it out.

I'll spell out my position: cloning a UI is fine. There is a long history of this in the technology industry, and we're all richer for it. Condemning someone for cloning your favorite candy maker's recipe is nothing but base fanboism, and hurtful to all of us.
But the scrollbars and widgets are not even similar, neither are the fonts, the color pickers or anything worth talking about...
The only similarity seems to be blue-grayish tones, and possibly gradients (although the jpgs of the Samsung IDE are too blurry to really tell).

Surely you're not talking about the drag and drop grid either, which was around years before Apple even made IDEs.

There are plenty of lazy carbon-copied Mac themes for Windows and whatnot, this isn't even close, it's just yet another IDE with color tones that are vaguely similar to XCode (maybe ? how many windows apps aren't gray/blue these days ?).
Sounds a lot like Intigi which already does this quite well: https://intigi.com/about

I'm on a 30" monitor and noticed it right away. It's pretty annoying.
In the parent's defense, the rest of that paragraph and the chart below it downplay Microsoft's role in favor of Google's, which could be viewed as "not quite right".
I'm sure we can do better; we just haven't tested the newer alternatives over a long enough time span to be sure. Take a look, for example, at the Long Now Foundation's Rosetta disk:

http://blog.longnow.org/02008/08/20/very-long-term-backup/

They made a disk of sturdy, corrosion-resistant metal, micro-etched thousands of pages of text on one side, and covered the other side with a design of words spiraling into the center and getting smaller, until they were no longer visible with the naked eye -- meant to suggest at a glance what the disk was, and how to read it. The text is a record of thousands of existing languages, like a modern, souped-up version of the original Rosetta stone.

Clay tablets have nothing on that.
The thing is, every time you integrate with another one of these services, you are spending time, both learning about the service and implementing the integration. You may also be incurring some degree of lock-in, either due to direct technical constraints or because of the future costs in time and money of getting your systems unhooked and any relevant data out again.

These costs are on top of whatever you're paying for the service itself, so if you're only going to be using the service for a few months anyway, you might be better off spending the time just implementing something quick and dirty yourself until you have a chance to do it properly.

The key thing is that in bootstrapping terms, very few of these services are indispensable: if you're in that environment then you're probably looking for just enough infrastructure to make a viable product/service, just enough legal/financial advice not to screw up in the early days, and then throwing everything else you've got into marketing, R&D, and sales to try and reach a self-sustaining level of income as soon as possible.

There are decent arguments for integrating certain services early on. For example, analytics/optimisation tools and billing services that boost customer retention can easily have a direct, significant, sustained impact on your income that exceeds the initial investment very quickly. But hardly any of these trendy SaaS tools aimed at small businesses are in that category.
Ask HN: Cofounder conflict, startup dying or dead for a long time already?
Short version

---------------

[Status]: Europe, pre-incorporation, two working on a project for more than a year, reached private beta in May but have no users. Started to look for investors. I am the tech guy, my cofounder is the sales guy (talks a lot, befriends almost anyone, never says no) with some tech knowledge (he thinks he's a coding rockstar but he's not).

[Problems]: he refuses to communicate, doesn't include me in talks with potential investors he gets via his contacts, I have almost no money anymore (he has significantly more and is much more worry-free). I mentioned splitting our codebase and parting our ways - he threatened to talk to lawyers about it (at first, he tried to be friendly then).

[Questions]: What should I do? Is it dead already? Would it be too unethical to e-mail the potential investors myself without a proper introduction? What about splitting the code? Could he use the lawyers somehow? (we have no written agreements whatsoever)

Details

----------------------

He pitched our project to investors, befriended them, got hired by them to help them with projects they invested into. I asked to be included in talks with potential investors but was ignored for the most part. He offered to let me help to some of the "VC's" portfolio companies as a side-job. He says that they will invest in us sometime in late September. He wants to raise $1m or more. I think that's insane.

We have a prototype because I pushed for it. I have to fight with him so that he doesn't implement yet another feature or doesn't reimplement something for which we could easily get an existing library.

I told him many times I am not satisfied with our execution and our mutual communication.

I guess it's better to end it now? I am afraid that after incorporation and possible funding there would be only more problems.

Codebase: we worked on quite clearly separated modules, I designed the overall architecture.

It's all about profit. That is, when the transactions are all said and done (whether the user paid for the service, or the advertisers have bought their advertisements) how much good will is left over?

How much good feeling does each party how? Can the user say that they feel good about using the service, is the service provider satisfied with how the transactions lay?

With Facebook and twitter some people, users and advertisers alike, don't feel enough profit from the service. Maybe with App.net they will.
I had to build a couple of Samsung TV apps, and that indeed looks like their IDE. It's Javascript (you can use HTML or Flash). Not much of a threat to Apple though, it is the worst platform I have ever developed for.

I'm not writing from a position of fear. The thought process of rapists is an interesting— albeit chilling— subject to study.

My problem was with the responses to the rapists by what appeared to be normal, well-adjusted people: Heavily upvoted comments excusing what was textbook rape because alcohol was involved, or she said she wanted it at one point (or maybe she didn't and they assumed she said it), or because she "got a little slutty [and did something stupid]." There is nothing of benefit in those replies. All they serve to do is make actual rapists feel better about the fact they raped someone and make it harder for rape victims to come forward due to fear of similar reactions by friends, family, and law enforcement.

Certainly there's a benefit to anonymity in a discussion, and I'm in no way advocating for your identity to be attached to everything you post a la South Korea. My issue isn't with anonymity in general; it's with reddit. The mask of anonymity, the pervasive anti-moderation sentiment, the inexplicably held notion that they belong to some elite club of Internet-goers, and the karma system make for an at times vicious amount of groupthink and close-mindedness.
What do you do when you log in to your bank and they tell you that your password has expired and that you need to create a new unique 6-8 character password with exactly one capital letter and one number but no special characters? And that it can't contain any part of any of your old passwords?

I guess the same thing you'd do if you ran across a site with this well intentioned but terrible idea: write it down or email it to yourself.

The only sane thing you can do as a developer is let users chose any password they like, regardless of how insecure you think it is. Store it correctly and that's the end of your involvement. Let your users do what they want, or you'll just make things worse.
Please explain how I can have a secure online conversation with my mother easily. (Easy for me, easy for her). Is it going to involve setting up my own trusted server somewhere? Is it going to involve downloading some large undocumented project and have to build myself (on my box and her box)? Is it going to require troubleshooting arcane protocols, firewalls, and xml files?

I haven't seen an easy way to have secure email (without teaching the other side of the conversation cryptography), secure voip/voice (without the trouble above), or secure chat (without using my own server).

I'm not saying easy ways don't exist; I'm saying I don't know what or where they are.
