Nick thanks for the response. I think you guys are really sharp. Why not just add a way to migrate organizations off the disparate platforms into your single solution? Perhaps that's the transition into paid?

Wholesale adoption becomes important as a company gets bigger for a lot of reasons, security, centralized accounts, centralized billing.
Hmm, you've got a point. I didn't think about the possiblity of email conversations and how that would impact any cost imposed as well as whether charity was involved.
Thank you for your reply. Did any of the S12 graduates start as a no idea?
You should have heard what we said when we saw the Server 2012, Visual Studio 2012, and Windows 8 GUIs.

It's a day later. Total hits with HN as referrer: about 3300, which is much less than Slashdot, but they mostly came in the first hour or two. This was enough to make the server whimper slightly. Zero hits with Techdirt as referrer, which makes me wonder if my stats (awstats working directly on the Apache logs) aren't utterly bogus.
Yup, its definitely a dicey issue. 5-10 mph on a skateboard is definitely a courteous and safe speed.. The problem is that 12-20 mph is also attainable and unfortunately not everyone is as courteous as you. It's the bad apples that spoil the bunch.

Yes, I do extend this to rollerbladers and scooters. Segues have a maximum speed of 12.5 mph and restrict their own downhill movement. I'd say they're sidewalk safe. Same with wheelchairs.

The ISPs are sick of having to deal with all these (expensive) subpoenas, and they'd rather have copyright holders foot part of the bill for implementing this "six-strike" system. Simple cost-benefit: the ISPs are going to save money in the long run if the media companies aren't breathing their neck.
For the record, I am being sarcastic (which I believe the linked post makes clear).
Are batteries quickly replaceable? i.e. If I had a spare battery in my pack, I could change it out and continue on?
The warning is actually about substance abuse or mental health.

Seems legit in this case.
I fully understand that, and I complied with them without question. I'm concerned that eventually, especially with the government support, I will be bullied out of my unlimited data plan via loopholes.
I've ridden the board.. calling it magical is not a stretch.
Does not the same problem exist with judges?

Also, have a large enough pool and this becomes more difficult.
I have to wonder though, that kickstarter may not be the best platform for them to get funding for such a project.
It seems that most people fund projects on kickstarter because they wish to receive a sample of the soon to be made product, however in this case a long board seems to be geared towards a younger audience, of which usually wouldn't have $1100-$1200 to spend on such a luxury good.
Great work though! Would definitely be interesting to see people ride uphill.
> They are offered guaranteed immunity in return

They already have immunity from their customer's actions. Taking that away and then offering it back conditionally seems more like a threat than an incentive.

So, you think popularity is success? I think that when Paul says "success", he means "winning" in an old sense that "those who adopt X have a better chance at winning" whatever it is. Just because the language is widely used doesn't mean it's contributing to the success of the adopters.
"Any idiot with money can send you an e-mail directly" doesn't scream high-end to me.
"It's odd, because they are willing to pay a recruiter $20,000 to find you, but they don't want to actually give a little extra to the engineering staff."

You have to ask the question: if they didn't pay $20,000 would they have found you in the first place? And if the answer is no, then it's $20,000 well spent.

"I just wish companies talked more about the real issues and were more open and honest about things. I think that if you start with honesty, and expect honesty you have a much better chance of getting it back from your future employee and confident."

There's dishonesty on both sides of the table and it's hard to discern, until after the fact, whether the other side was being true to their word and intent.
The data wouldn't get much bigger - a 2048-bit RSA key requires the output to be at least a 256-byte block, roughly 3 times as much data as the current watermark has, not some insane amount of data. The watermark is repeated many many times in the image anyway, so it seems like the trade-off could be made between less copies of the watermark and more data in it.

I love that this article was written by Kevin Roose :). Had to do a double-take to make sure I wasn't reading an Onion knockoff.

On a more serious note, this article highlights what is a big annoyance of the startup community. Namely that people are focused on building a startup for short term profit rather than (genuinely) trying to change the world in a big way. It's in some ways analogous to the short-term mindset of the finance industry. Instead of thinking 1,2, or 3 decades out, people are thinking "How can I get $40m on this company in a couple years?" I would be much more excited by a community that consisted of people trying to build long term businesses, not acqui-hires, solutions to mundane problems, or another social app.

Don't get me wrong, if people want to flip companies for several million dollars over a couple years, they are will within their right to do so, and I wouldn't blame them. It's just depressing that our best minds are focused on making quick flips instead of sustainable truly game-changing businesses. I look up to people like Steve Jobs (obviously), Elon Musk, Larry Ellison, and Reed Hastings. These are all people who have transformed industries, and were not chasing some cheap hack to get a couple million dollars. They built real products, not sitting in front of their computer, but by going out and meeting customers, building real solutions to real problems, undertaking genuinely difficult technical challenges.
You're over engineering this I think. The "hash" only needs to be an internal account id that can be plugged into Blizzard's database to get your account info. No encryption is necessary. There is no way to get a mapping of internal code to account info without their database.

There is electronics.stackexchange.com, but it's probably a bit premature at this point.

When you say you "want to learn hardware" how much do you want to learn? Saying you started with RoR and showing that speaker thing as an end project, I'll assume you want to start at a pretty high level.

The easy, inexpensive way of putting together high level "hardware building blocks" is Arduino. Head over to SparkFun or adafruit Industries and find lots of beginning hardware hackers in their forums. You'll get all the help you want there.

For a more HelloWorld.c approach, if you want to learn digital (let's ignore analog for now) electronics at a more elemental level, I'd say purchase a breadboard, a handful of CMOS chips and passive components (or get a kit from Make) and flash an LED, or make some electronic music and experiment from there.

One way isn't "better" than the other; they just approach the problem from different viewpoints.
Reminds me of why I got out of startups.
While I think nobody should take less than they're worth, basing your decision simply on what the job pays is doing yourself a disservice.

Google: Apple v Samsung verdict was a "wake-up call"
Version with sources can be found here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4507694
Speaking as somebody very early in my career, the "having your pick of places to work" isn't that apt to me. Sure I could quit today and have a job next week doing development, however, I would for sure be worse off because while there is need for developers there companies that are doing awesome things already attract awesome developers, where the need seems to be the strongest is at companies that are doing boring work and paying shit wages.

Also, what some see as "allergic to career advacement" could also be seen as long term career planning. For instance, I worked a terrible dev job for 7 months. I hated the place and they paid terrible salary for the skills they wanted and area they were. I quit after finding my current job. Now this is a nice place to work but there is still limitations to advancing as it is a smaller company. That being said, I'm planning to stick around for a few years because I'm working on my MS in CS and working on achieving my goal of working on compilers for a living. I don't need to hop to whatever job seems cooler than where I'm at currently because in the long run, it doesn't help me. Does it raise my income a bit? Sure, but after a certain point the money doesn't matter.

I'm familiar with BGP.
I'm unfamiliar with how BGP has anything to do with me being able to ping their IP, but not get a response on UDP/53 or TCP/53 with any data in it.
Thanks :). That's an interesting thought, but right now we're focused on the value we can to these existing services. We have intentionally launched with a core set of features that we believe is the foundation for other things that become useful in this context, like search across integrations and versioning.

I totally agree that the game changes when you're trying to sell large enterprises on adopting something company-wide, but there is a precedent in products like Yammer that start by gaining adoption with small teams and organically grow out. That's the type of model we're interested in exploring.
Actually, wasn't there some kind of legal suite that just conlcuded saying the wireless companies cant do that anymore? SOmething about they cant double dip for charges. Once the consumer purchases the data, we should be able to use it how we want without additional fees and restrictions. Maybe I read that wrong..
Use htaccess To Redirect Custom Error Pages
Pay attention. What's implemented in the U.S. will be pushed heavily by U.S. lobbyists in Ottawa next.

e.g. After the DMCA and associated acts in the U.S. were passed, U.S. lobbyists went to work in Canada. The result was a series of bills that were delayed and ultimately not passed by the recent series of minority governments. To ramp up pressure on Canada, the U.S. added Canada to it's piracy "priority watch list" along with countries like China. Piracy is practically non-existent in Canada as compared to China, but that list was never about where piracy is actually happening! Canada will likely never be taken off that list unless we completely obliterate our own film and TV industries and turn the CBC into a re-broadcaster for HBO.

Now that there's a majority government, the successor to those failed bills, Bill C-11, is now in the process of being passed. It cleared the House of Commons in June. This bill contains some truly bad legislation on digital locks. i.e. If media has a "digital lock" such as the half-assed encryption on DVD's, it is illegal to circumvent those locks even for fair-use or educational purposes. e.g. Ripping a DVD to your laptop so you can watch it on the plane without bringing along an external DVD player is now illegal because you had to use software that breaks a digital lock to do so.

For more on this, read: http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6544/125/

Canada will see it's own 6-strikes legislation soon enough.

I wonder how the Trek Ride+ does on hills?
Anybody not know how to skateboard, but would rather do it because of the form factor?

What I'm trying to say is: Is there a long board riding tutorial for people who just want to slowly roll around, aren't really in the "skater" scene?

In the promo video they're getting onto CalTrain. I'd love it for the quick ride over to BART/CalTrain station.
It seems a dedicated, remote, wheeled iPad, especially like in the gallery example, should take advantage of an external camera with optical zoom. The iPad camera is good for what it is, but the physical dimension constraints don't seem to apply if it's already mounted to a 5-foot robot.

Otherwise, that's really cool.
I'm not allergic to career opportunities. I am, however, slightly picky in regards to the company ethics & business plan, technology used, viability to be operating in a year, and also- I don't want to live in SF or NYC.

If you want to hire someone, make a concerted effort not to drag out the process, get the decision maker involved early, and cut the crap. Your OODA cycle will be lowered, the candidate will have a better impression, and you'll see

I've been on both sides of the table, and a conscious decision not to look like Dilbert ( or worse, Ratbert/Dogbert ) in your process makes a huge difference.
Still doesn't answer my question. It won't let me turn on 2FA without giving them a phone # that can be used (SMS or voice) to authenticate, which means anyone that can redirect my phone or capture my SMS messages (both fairly trivial in a targeted attack) can bypass 2FA.
Looks like it's evolved some since I used it, but this is the company: http://www.skatebrake.com/products.html
Two reasons.

1. We're starting with a great longboard - one that would cost over $300 if you bought it alone.

2. We're using advanced and expensive motor and battery technology. The kind seen in electric motorcycles and cars, but never in bikes or scooters.

The reason the price is so high is because we built the first ones for ourselves, not for customers, and we only used the best ingredients. We have no intention of compromising that, even if it means less volume, because the end result is worth it.
Still deciding on that
>they can get jammed fairly easily (leading to injury and death, etc etc)

Wouldn't a failsafe that activated the brakes if contact with the remote were lost pretty much avoid any serious problems? I don't think getting rear-ended should be much of a concern, since the maximum speed is 20 MPH, and cars will (hopefully) be careful behind someone on a skateboard in general.
shrug I know how BGP works, yes. I think though from the symptoms of the issue it is going to end up being (If Godaddy is telling the truth about not being hacked), as you say, a compound failure. The exact cause of such a failure is left up to a truthful, full account of the outage being released. Further into this thread someone reported that an engineer from their side is going to release more information, so we'll see soon whom gets the prize :P.
It seems really nice. Any information about how much will cost?
RFC 6716 - Definition of the Opus Audio Codec
It runs on the "Desktop" side of Windows 8, rather than in the "Metro environment" (for lack of or perhaps my own ignorance of a better term), right? If so, should it even really be trying to use the Metro style? I'm not familiar with Microsoft's guidelines on this, but I'd imagined that "desktop apps" would continue to use something similar to the traditional Windows design language.

Edit: CurtHagenlocher's comment cleared some of the confusion up for me. It's not Metro, it's ... "Windows 8 style". Wait no, that term means Metro too. It's "Office 2013" style.

But roughly speaking HTML should contain the structure, and CSS the rendering information, especially if it's mostly a static page like here (maybe if you're writing a Webmail client or something it makes sense to handle more stuff on the client side).

I guess the absolute horror scenario for the web would be when people start deciding to do their own personal server-side markup, and then render it with a bloated JS library on the client (hey, it's Turing complete!).
We're still trying to figure that out. I'd like to price it really low for small/bootstrapped teams and scale up based on the amount of data you're dumping into it. But right now we're focused on building out more of the product. Once we know what it will do, we'll have a better idea as to how we can price it.
I actually find that annoying - I like to open videos in the background to let them queue up (and/or let the adroll finish).

The biggest population growth in history was accompanied by a green revolution that increased food production even faster. So example indicates that you're likely wrong.

We're now in an age where energy is cheap, and energy can be converted to food relatively easily. The amount of energy required to feed the entire world is now a small fraction of total world energy production. The fact that we don't do it this way is only because food is even cheaper than energy.

And yes, our oil energy supplies are relatively constrained, but our alternative supplies (aka nuclear) are not.

So "any possible green revolution" is pretty darn big. If we wanted to, we could feed a trillion people using nuclear power lighting artificial greenhouses.
I use click-to-play in Chrome, but this doesn't use Flash.
I mean Indie games specifically. The most successful indie games I can think of (e.g minecraft / braid) didn't use any particular monolithic engine.

What I'm wondering is whether this is simply a co-incidence or whether it's that the most successful Indie titles are ones that take big risks in terms of introducing wildly different gameplay and perhaps using a monolithic engine like Unity makes building such a game more difficult because the engine itself will be inherently opinionated.

In other words, if you make a decision on which technology to use before you have a complete game design are you in fact reducing your risk/reward without necessarily realising it?
We are looking into what the final product will do. In our prototypes, we can swap in about 15 seconds with no tools.
If you're not looking to raise, do you take a VC's call? 
My company is doing well, and I occasionally get calls from random VCs in Boston, NYC and SV doing their typical 'talent scouting'.

We have no interest in raising, or spending any time resources whatsoever on establishing relationships with investors.

Is there any value in it? I honestly can't see it and treat an investor call like Verizon trying to up-sell me. Is my head in the wrong place?
Really love what you've laid out here and think it's a great description of the relationship connecting both sides of the equation.
If you slam on the brakes, yes, you'll fall. However in my experience in practice it is not hard to get used to braking on a longboard. I've done it and seen lots of other people do it without crashing.

You probably don't stop as fast as you would on a car or a bike, but you learn to control the speed you stop at pretty quickly.

I don't think longboarding will ever be as safe as riding a bike, but braking isn't the biggest reason for that.
Ah, I can see the reasoning there, but do not agree with it at all. Besides the inherent awfulness of this approach, my first thought was that the site is completely broken. My second one was, "Why do they want to trick me into enabling JS?".
On motor power, note that the power rating of a motor is usually the maximum continuous power the motor is rated for, ie without overheating. Just because a motor is 2000W as opposed to 600W, doesn't necessarily mean it will use any more power for a given job it is being asked to do. Your 600W motor could produce 2000W too if you were to nearly double the voltage, but it might overheat. Regardless, the power they draw is the power asked of them. For example, your skateboard might be 200W continuous when travelling at a constant velocity, and both motors in this case will only use 200W, or rather a bit more because they're not perfectly efficient. Which brings me on to efficiency. Different kinds of electric motors have different characteristics, but it's usually the case that they will have a maximum efficiency at a lower power than maximum power. The designers of this skateboard might have chosen their 2kW motor such that it is operating at maximum efficiency at the power they are expecting it to need to produce to propel humans around. In this respect the range of the 2kW skateboard might actually be greater than the 600W skateboard, everything else being equal.

That said, 2kW is a lot of power! If all that could be instantaneously put down without wheel spin by a skateboard, I image it would shoot out from under your legs like a bullet out of a gun. Fun!
