I'm not sure how I feel about this.
From one point of view, I think this is an awesome idea, get energetic, smart students down the entrepreneurship path early.
Then my experience of running an actual startup, the ups-and-downs, the intricacies of building a viable _business_, etc come to mind and I think this is a bad idea. It doesn't matter how much mentoring one has - unless you've been in the trenches of a real world business, you have no foundation upon which to base your own. Not everyone can be Zuckerberg (hell, even Facebook isn't profitable yet). I would much prefer an apprenticeship type of setup - or even better offer this course to alums, or be part of the executive MBA program - those in an executive MBA program have industry experience, come with ideas on how they can improve the vertical(s) they worked in, and understand the real world better than a student who has zero experience.
Don't get me wrong - if I were a GATECH student right now, I would love to be part of this program!
That's shortsighted, I would say. I have had a lot of things replaced or serviced by them, easily and for free, so I wouldn't agree that they try to get every penny from me.
are you comparing laws and copyright infringement?

Grooveshark takes content created by someone else and then profits from the distribution of that content without permission and without passing back any revenue to the rightful owner of the content. How does that compare to uber?
The potential "collapse" of the entire American auto industry was FUD to get the bailout passed. People need cars. Someone would make them, and sell them.

Maybe Japan, Korea, and Europe would have had most of the business for a while. Ford was already international and didn't take any of the bailout either.
Yes, but does it suffer from "Unknown or expired link", that's all I want to know..............

Most europeans think American cars are absurd anyway and wouldn't want one.
For a time it was legal to intercept those cordless phone conversations, since they were being broadcast over public airwaves. I forget if the legislature changed that before the industry moved their tech away from that kind of infrastructure.

I fully agree that "because someone else can read it, it's not private" is a bad argument.
Why do you need a license from Apple to make a cable?
NFL licensing sounds like a good spot to start. i looked at AFL license ( australian football ) about 20 years ago. it was $10k per annum back then. im sure that is super cheap now, so if its a requirement you might need some deep pockets.
Best one I'm aware of is Enqueue (http://www.enqueueapp.com/)

It looks like a great music player, but it's missing some Apple proprietary features. Things like Airplay, Podcasts, iPhone syncing, and anything else that couldn't be implemented in software sold through the App Store. I don't know of anything that can do those well except for iTunes, but I assume the feature bloat is part of why you're looking for an alternative.

EDIT: There was a discussion here when its free beta was released. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3207736
good grief... just learn some fscking JavaScript already! It's not _that_ hard!
just sharing an experience.
The ironic thing is the math is probably off. I'd guess at least half of the adapters will sell at wal-mart, target, amazon, etc. and I'd guess the wholesale cost is around six fifty. Exercise left to the reader.
If you keep your friend list small (< 70) then it's not too addictive since there's not that much content (unless you're a stalker) and it's actually a meaningful way to communicate.
Hi, thanks for the feedback. I haven't fully completed it yet, I wanted to actually find out if people would use something like this before I wrote any more code. I could send you an email when it's complete.

By the way, which browser do you use?
Moderation, how does it work?

On a side note, Spotify's Facebook only policy makes me rage like nothing else. I would kill for a normal username that I could use to open up my playlists on other people's computers running spotify. If you don't know, usernames on Spotify are a sequence of numbers that you'll never remember. There are pages of forum and support posts about it and Spotify doesn't care.
copyright infringement is also 'law'... so I'm comparing laws with laws.

I'm not comparing the individual actions of the companies. Only that sometimes "the law" is not useful anymore.

Which yes, I am saying that copyright needs to change, the notion of a 'rightful owner of content' needs to change. Having laws that are completely contrary to how society operates are generally doomed to fail.
Interesting concept of "app" look and feel. If user experience can be matched to app look and feel, this is a great tool from functionality wise.
Hmm, it crashed the browser on me (iPad 3, safari).

I went to the site, searched for a random band and picked a playlist (a large one ~500 songs if it helps). I went to the playlist view and started scrolling through the songs, relatively quickly. I noticed the "bar" at the bottom of the playlist view was flickering a lot, you could see the upcoming song rows through it when it flickered then 'bam' whole browser crashed. Relaunched safari, it still had the grooveshark tab open, almost instantly crashed again.
-Establish schedules and stick to them.
-Be super positive and encouraging.
-Let them know you value them
-Give strong financial incentives.
-Don't make assumptions about what they know or don't know.
-Understand the time and culture.
-It's ultimately a lot more time and work than you think
This is wonderful! Exactly what I was looking for, a practical introduction to machine learning using real-world code. Thank you so much!

I only have one request: Instead of switching to PHP for the next GA exercise, can you please keep everything in Javascript? Just because JS is a more widely used and general-purpose language, which means those of us who don't use PHP can still enjoy it :) Thank you!
On the contrary it is significantly easier to do it over the phone (unless that is what you meant). Web sites etc can only do what they have been programmed to do, but are horrible at dealing with exceptions which is what is happening to me non-stop.

My opinion is that the best customer service is the one that people have no opinion of because they never needed to use it in the first place.
I also tend to have over a dozen tabs open at any one time, and sometimes keep multiple windows open, each with tabs that are (loosely) centered around a given task.

I think a lot of people have the problem of having too many tabs open, but for me, I've never used a browser in recent memory that couldn't restore my previous session even after quitting unexpectedly. Being a Safari user on a host of Apple devices, I also don't have too much of a problem with syncing tabs, though the solution is far from perfect. It would be interesting to access your current session on any device using any browser seamlessly, though.

I'd really be interested in an alternative to tabbed browsing that intelligently categorizes the web pages I have open according to the task or activity to which they relate. Like most people, I have multiple things I'm working on on my Mac that have corresponding tabs open all in the same browser window. The issue is that it becomes increasingly difficult to access the relevant information the more tabs I have open. It would be cool to just be able to ask 'Siri, show only those tabs I have open that correspond to the article I'm researching.'

I'd also be interested in a dead simple way to 'flick' the web page I'm currently viewing on my iPhone to my Mac or iPad. For example, I'd love to be able to flick this comment from my iPhone to my Mac and finish typing it there.

In any case, I think you've definitely hit on a problem that could use a better solution.
All this moaning about how scummy and awful dealerships are... just don't buy a car there. First and foremost buying a brand new car is a stupid idea from a financial perspective, the depreciation is greatest in the first few years. Buy a used car from a private seller, or if you feel you must have a dealer involved go to a fairly low-scum-factor place like Carmax.

All that aside, I love Tesla's direct sales idea. It is disruptive, but I would think a few forward-thinking states are going to allow it (or not stand in the way of it), and people who want to buy a Tesla direct will just arrange road trips there to pick up their cars. Eventually word will spread, public demand will build, and the political barriers will fall elsewhere.
The U.S. Supreme Court is already just another legislature.
> Don't lecture me about "intellectual honesty" after referring to file-sharers as if they were an uniform entity and likening them to an "industry".

I was referring to services whose business models are designed to exploit file sharing behavior as an "industry." Not the file sharers themselves.
I think this is not just good for getting started with things, but also for times when you're feeling blocked from moving forward, or in some other kind of rut.

Sometimes a problem can seem overwhelming and instead of formulating a grand master plan to overhaul it, it's often more effective and keeps you more sane to start taking action, any action, and see where that takes you.
That's because there wasn't any actual "hacking". Obviously they were leaked by the Obama administration, which needed a way to get them out there without owning up to being the source of the leak. I'm sure in twenty years or so we'll learn the "hacker" is a member of the Obama campaign who got the documents directly from the IRS.

Congratulations, Democrats. You put this generation's Nixon in the White House.

Github is fast now?
To be fair, is that a Safari problem or a Grooveshark problem?
You're not getting it. You are throwing out all of these unfounded accusations not based on anything at all and you still expect us to take you seriously. You're engaging in fear-mongering and we're calling you on it.

> using radiation or anorganic chemicals.

This is fear-mongering unless you can actually point to reasonable problems such things might cause.

> questionable stuff in ice cream like carrageenan

Carrageenan is fine when used in the way the regulations dictate. Or do you have actual evidence otherwise?
Skeuomorphism unnecessarily constrains software design to the realm of real-world analogue. It completely breaks down when applied to concepts which do not fit. How do you create a skeuomorphic interface for something like Git? The answer is: you don't.
Yes, a lot of the GitHub doctrine of letting people choose what to build is great and a refreshing change from a lot of other IT companies. But doesn't apply for an IT company serving the construction industry.
Thanks for your response. I'm definitely having the same problem, If I do built this, you will be able to have tab categories and more advanced features.

Remind me again why I am paying $10 for Spotify when I can just use this?
Basically you see a linear increase in time. If it was going to take a coffee break's worth of time one way, it will take a slightly longer coffee break worth of time the other. It is fairly rare that the additional time involved matters and there isn't something else that you should be doing anyway.
I imagine you don't, but you need a license to use any Apple trademarks, logos, or trade dress in your marketing and packaging.
Too bad they are kicked out of Google Play, so can't wrap the HTML5 in an app via PhoneGap, or publish a launcher app that just goes to the site inside a web view. They are missing the huge amount of traffic that comes from the app store by just being another web site like this.
> I think you're mistaken to think there's not a lot of science in organic farming.

The problem with organic farming is that it's associated with so much crap science, like radiation-phobia and chemophobia and various other quackery that masquerades as science while really being unsupported by either evidence or logic.

I'd love to be able to buy a greater variety of food without having to support people who think GMO are The Devil based on irrational fears.

Amazon is expected to launch a new tablet
It's not the same. When you consume music for free, you're consuming a product without paying the person that put the largest amount of work into it. Laws aside, where's the ethics in that?

In the music business there is certainly a fairness issue of middlemen taking a large cut, but Grooveshark is not solving that.
I have a lot of my playlists available offline, to save bandwidth and battery for on the road.
Stop watch:

press enter to read elapsed time. If you write your activity in the prompt and repeat it for multiple activities, you have a nice time log. You can then just copy&paste it from terminal.
Thank you for the sincere reply. I would love to learn more of your efforts. I am a chrome extension developer and I have several extensions that I work on. I would like to know under what terms Facebook would add an app to such a list and what it sees as acceptable use.
Interesting that they optimize for playing of songs rather than albums. It would be nice to be able to queue up a whole album to listen to, rather than having to select the tracks one by one (in the correct order!) .. particularly frustrating since the one thing I wanted to listen to at the time was a mix (DJ /Rupture - minesweeper suite) - order matters!
That .. and the sleep LED that "breathes". The lock that shows in system preferences that need admin permissions is also a good one I think.
What about them? I'm impressed that Apple's actually pricing the 9-pin stuff down around the prices others have charged for 30-pin stuff.
Open drivers are good for debugging and avoiding crashes, and for flexibility, re: Linux kernel versions and API changes over the lifetime of the device.
While it may not be the case in this scenario (since Sam says in a response on here that he sent them a message a few days ago), everyone should always be responsible in how they disclose flaws or discoveries in software:

I've been working with contractors from various parts, and I have to say Trello has been a huge help in keeping track of everything.

Though I agree, working around the clock becomes an issue. You can ask people to work on the same timezone as you, like the article says, but it's a lot harder for casual workers to do that, as they tend to do part-time contracts around their other work or studies.
Freakanomics: Knockoffs Can Help a Strong Brand
And remember the myriad of cables that came with each new model of each brand of phone? A different cable, 10 years later. Yet when companies blindly continue with compatibility at the expense of all else, you get a different bandwagon of people complaining about THAT!

"How dare apple charge for a new cable". Meh, whatever - it's $10.
Don't bother writing native nowadays. If you want to write it in what's best, use Unity, even though you're planning 2D. I've had OEMs approach me with bundling deals if I just redid art to 3D to show off their hardware, so you'll have the engine all ready to go. If you can't afford Unity, use one of those native implementations of HTML5 Canvas so you can write in all JS & HTML5 and be ready for any platform if you succeed and need to port it everywhere. The native web controls on mobile suck, but people have implemented the HTML5 canvas API themselves to fix that.
The post I linked to is just a fairly comprehensive example of a widely-known phenomenon. While some details in that post may be erroneous, the overall picture is not and has been independently arrived at by many different people. 9GAG reposts content from other sites. Fine. I'm not concerned about that. I'm concerned about the dishonesty with which they do it, and the claiming of others' content as their own. I don't even care that they use dummy accounts to make the community appear more involved than it is, after all that's how reddit started out, as well. I care that it's those dummy repost accounts that are responsible for some of the more egregious acts of plagiarism.

Lots of redditors will repost a picture and claim it as their own, but this is both frowned upon and the doing of users, not admins. 9GAG admins themselves are the ones guilty of plagiarism, and that's where they cross the line.
Unless they make it into the top 30, why would there be huge amount of traffic?
If it's Apple-branded, the wholesale cost isn't that low. I'd expect more like $8.50. I tried the Apple reseller thing a number of years ago and you could buy systems cheaper as a student than as a reseller. You'll notice that the Walmart price on Apple items is barely under what you pay Apple directly. Apple likes to keep retailer margins very tight.
The mobile app is a companion that assumes you're like me and have a large collection of playlists curated already from the desktop web app.

I do, so it works great for me.

Also, "playing" songs adds them to your run queue. you can also "play next" or "play last" to queue them appropriately.

In the search results, if you scroll past the song results, you'll see an album list. Tap the album list. "Play now" will queue the entire album in order.

They have the functionality, you're just not used to their terrible UX. (I'm a longtime paying Grooveshark and Spotify user, so I'm used to navigating this nonsense)
It also depends on the assumptions we make about the problem.

- Do we have to validate the URL strings in any way?

- What do we need to do with duplicate names?

- Are cases with small parameter names and/or small numbers of parameters common?

- How common are parameters with lengthy common prefixes?

- Is there a bound on the length of the longest common prefix of two different parameter names?

Tuning or special-casing with common cases in mind can often produce big wins.
If Grooveshark is advertising that it works on "all devices" then it's a Grooveshark problem.

I'm not sure where this type of opinion came from but it definitely has been becoming more prevalent in the last 5 years. I think it is just people are becoming more inclined to think they are entitled to someones else's creative content just because it has been easy to acquire free for years now.

Just because it is easy to copy music online doesn't mean all music should be 'free' and every artist should just abandon what many of them rely on to make a living just because you want to save some money on your entertainment.
I don't see either, even after clearing the cookies now, which I did do initially as well. Perhaps not in Canada yet?
Thanks for the bug report! This particular problem is actually decently high in the bugtracker so I'd think we'd have something within the next few bugfix releases.
It's probably the desire to save on bandwidth. Rdio app does this too, and charges you for the honor of adding a song to playlist one by one.
Actually, they own patents on the pin-out for the 30-pin connector. They probably own patents on the 9-pin as well. Doesn't really matter if the patents are enforceable, the threat of a lawsuit versus the cost of the license keeps manufacturers from being too ballsy - do you risk your entire margin (or more) fighting Apple over pin-out licenses?

Also, if your accessory is not "approved," then it stands a chance at voiding your customers' warranties. That'd be bad for your business.

IPhone App for Babies that according to apple "had no lasting value"
I created an app called peek-a-boo boo bear for my son who was one. The app played peek-a-boo with him. Apple rejected the app because it "had no lasting value". That was there opinion but I took it as it needs to be better. I made some changes and now after a year, it has finally been accepted. I AM SO EXCITED. Check it out:

Congrates on launching and thank you for posting this.

How do you overcome the obstacle to finally ship?
Vegetables and fruit are only as good as the soil. Big commercial organic farms aren't able to have the quality of soil as smaller organic farms... so if big ag is just cranking out organic vegetables at the same rate as conventional vegetables then the quality of soil will be the same, and therefore the nutrient qualities will be similar.

SO if you want more nutrients find a local farmer to support - typically the smaller scale farm uses compost in their soil mix and crop rotates. Many smaller local farmers aren't certified organic but are "organic", often times go beyond what it means to be organic. Ask the farmer and if doesn't seem better than big ag, keep looking.

Wow.

All the conspiracy theories. Im an outsider; i live in Holland. I dont think you americans realize just how paranoid you guys come accross, at times like these.

From both sides. If you had any distance, you would realize this is the work of a troll, with no political ambition and no secret documents.

He is making you all consider the most ridiculus scenarios where the world is filled with people you cant trust, but who are somehow able to collaborate in these large scale conspiracies.
Thanks. My enthusiasm mostly consists of trying to get other people to read this stuff and tell me what it says :)

I think that's the argument for junking the SE literature. If it can't do any better than anecdote, well, to quote Monty Python, we've already got some they're very nice.

If you go the black hat way or even get links the black hat way, that could get you into trouble.

Its scary because sometimes this is all that is needed by your competitor for some one to kick you out of the search engine. Specially when you are just starting up and you have very few white hat links (genuine links) and some one just blasts you with the black hat links.
